Still say the picture looks more like a zara then a pencil OR reverse atom, Flap.  But I get where you're coming from. |

It's true now that I just came up from the cave it does resemble an Arbogast Prancer. The Prancer had an external lead tail though. This version, BM's, is slightly thinner now than the ones I saw him test and that Prancer is thin as well. I would chock that up to coincidence.  |
Why even try.........

Dave, I do not have a pic but I know the Arbogast plug well as I had a couple but they are long gone now. Your plug, by shear coincidence, looks a lot like it but there are disimilarities as well. The eye loop was in the same place and the action was the same as well as the plug dimensions ( lengthxwidth). The Prancer hasn't been made in 25 years at least.  |

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast, I most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,
That in His mercy I be judged, as big enough to keep.

i'd like to troll one of those surfsters way back on wire in a certian channel in boston. way too deep for anyone else like cod deep.
or on a 3 way with about 16 oz when the tide is rippin' 4+kts and tears up the live bait. those would kill.

NEW PROTOTYPE
I've been following this discussion and in fairness to BM offer the following suggestion. As an independent observer I will be willing to provide my services. Just send me one sample of each color of the new plug in every size available and I will carefully analize weigh and field test them for you.
In six to eight months I'll give you a detailed written report.
This should help to avoid and eliminate any possible claims of patent infringement or copy catting .
Since it is Christmas time I will forgo my usual fee for this important service.
Happy Holidays to all
