I look to the past to inspire stuff Im doing now. I take those proven designs and try to apply them, by modifying them to suit locations I fish now. Case n point. I went to an auction, picked up a jerry sylvester flaptail that was a beater. Took it home disected it, and made some with similar specs (slightly larger). I fished them last fall and did well, but the action was not as close as the action on the original as I liked, because I was using dif. wood. I went back and modified my processes to get an action that was more true to the way the original swam, what I have now I feel mimics the action of the original close enough for me, as I'm using all dif. materials. I'm happy with the changes I've made and it functions the way I'd wanted it to now. Good topic Larry.
