Eben, those are nice.
Just curious, did you have a problem with the rosco swivels ? I've bent the vmc 3x's but the swivel held ??

I have bent them and I have noticed that they corrode after time.
The Crock's are stainless. when you have a stainless throughwire, and then attach all kinds of different metals to it (swivel, galvanized tail hooks, split rings) you will get electrolosis which causes the corrosion.
In a perfect world i would use stainless hooks on the tail too, but i cant afford them at this point.

I was thinking about trying this stuff on siwash hooks with bucktail to prevent rust. May be a cheaper alternative to SS hooks. Don't know how well it works but its from a reputable manufacturer.

corrosion CS... corrosion. rosco's are not stainless.
The bent swivel was from hoisting a bass up a rock by the plug. It damaged the needlefish too.. left a nice V in the blank.

Nice plugs.
Over the years I've had swivels rip out/fail a number of times. Usually in smaller plugs (i.e., medium Dannys) although I've pulled one in a big Danny and even, I think, an Atom. All have been on just medium sized fish and always in older plugs, usually ones that had seen lots of use, so you are probably right about corrosion being a factor. I also think, however, that they rate swivels with a straight pull, but when used in a plug, particularly the front swivel gets strained at an extreme angle and is prone to fail. In spite of this I still often find myself using smaller swivels in plugs than I want, either to fit the grommet, or to not project too much, so I appreciate the lead on stronger hardwear.

Actually they will pop out if I throw one in a heavy rip like what you would have at the canal.... we have a few places down here with that kind of current and for that i throw jigs and darters, so i never have problems... Dannies for me are all about calm still water, V-wakes and quiet coves with boulder fields.
having 2 hooks really helps in the stabillity dept as well.

Really ? I got to try that one (calm water thingy).My favorite Danny water are leftover hurricane swells , hard southwest before the cold front or budding nor'easter,went water looks like a wash machine.Never cared for Danny in calm waters ,usually went with Atom Jr.
I must come to your parts in the spring for a lesson ....
btw
Nice plugs

nope.. plugbuilder uses the best hardware possible so swivels wont turn green
Custom plugs require custom hardware. why settle for less???

im using the stock NJ tackle danny2 lip.. 2 slots- I use the top slot& bend the loop down a pinch.
bottom slot makes them roll too much IMO..
also, its really not that slim.. the nose is a pinch wider than the lip

Nebe, Try making the plug face and the lip the same width and cutting about 1/8" off the lip in front, replicate the radius of the arc. That combination swam pretty good in current for me. I also trimmed a few lips down in width (PIA!!!) and that seemed to help, too.
