LOL. Looks good. I just finished up 4 different size jointed. Got a large Pichney half done but I finished Musso's 2 small darters and his largest and a small beachmaster darter. All look decent and will give them a swim next weekend. As far as the wire set up I found that I ended making the more difficult front half wiring in 2 separate pieces and epoxied them both in from each end. I just kept breaking the wire or stress cracking the wire every time I tried to spread it as it had to be folded pretty small trying to do it the Rockfish way. So I just epoxied the front loop in like normal but with the wire long enough to also hold the swivel then did a nice smaller loop for the rear part and epoxied that in the hole also being long enough to go past the swivel. I can't see the thing ever pulling out and much easier and neater and a nice small joint between halves. I don't like the look of a big wire loop tie on the rear of the front either. So I think I solved the problem. I will post a couple pics this week if I can find the time.
