may di them to.
you got one of the original protos i thin and the wire hole was back on that one I think. I moved wire foward and play'd with weighting and then beet the #^&#^&#^&#^& out of it on bass and blues,
those ones You see are long like 7 to 8" and they smoke the hell out of a pencil popper and are very easy to work.
I put my time in on these plugs as You know a few years.......

You know, the best way to show how great a plug catches is to have someone, who is relatively new to the sport, catch on them.

Being a novice myself i will be happy to volunteer my services to help you prove thier fish catching prowess. Just send them to me and i will put fish on them.

His reference to pencils seems to everyone, even you Jigsy... the front loop position and body style should tell you it's more like a zara than a pencil.

K.I.S.S., BM... purdy.

Thumbs up

It's based on a couple years of cut and try. I can vouch for Bassmaster on this one I have seen this one evolve. It's not a pencil and it's not a Zara. It owes it's heritage to a Reverse Atom action. Dave has been working on this a while and it's his design based on a few qualities of different classic plugs. The only thing wrong with posting them is that someone will now rip -off the design and be putting them out in every color and pattern and posting "loookey what I did" without crediting Dave for his year or so of work putting it all together. I have no problem with someone copying someones work but I do have a problem when they do not acknowledge the original builder.

Why even try.........

Well put Flap.

Credit to Dave for taking an idea and being creative enough to make it his own.
