Thrashing Pencil Action

[chefchris401]

I had a design I really liked for what youre talking about, they were big though, 10"and 5oz.

I want to make some more this winter with wood and also scale em down to a 6-7" version.

all the weight was in the tail, and about 2' from the end of the plug.

The plug sat almost vertical in the water, but once you started the retrieve, it would thrash on the top, with just the back 5" of the plug in the water, or you could work it slower, but it got the most hits being worked aggresively on the surface.

had a solid low 20lb fish come from a 20ft deep hole and orca the plug out of the water one day I was testing it, still remeber that day very well.

ProfM makes a killer pencil that is similar in profile to the 2oz Gibbs standard pencil, but it fishes better with a more subtle presentation IMO. Seen some good fish teased up on that plug...
