Just came back from test swim.... First cast got dive bombed by three gulls... No hook ups however :-) Swims a bit arse down in the rear small plug. Will take off trailing treble hook and see if that balances it out. Or I add a bit of lead under the nose of the small plug. Beautiful snakey motion to it!
Got dive bombed again... :-) Tail swims aligned with the front when it doesn't have the trailing hook. I think I'll do a tail on some very light wire so it looks finished. Tends to swim right on the surface or about 6" below. Next one will be weighted just a bit.
So little time, so many great designs to steal....nice, wicked nice.
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
