Not mine guys......they are Musso's..........I just stole from him.
The big Pichney darter is a good design as well.

The issue with darters is getting past thinking of them as plugs for current (which they are) and start thinking about them as diving needlefish with better action that is easier to control depth with than a standard needle. The right one (and the two Musso designs I copy are examples) will out produce metal lips and needles in many situations where you would think the latter two plugs would be better.

Learning to fish darters in non-moving and shallow water has been an eye opener for me. I thank Stan Gibbs for teaching me that (albeit indirectly).
