Sheetza! I consider myself lucky if the paint holds on after a dunking or two. Grains? Roll? Hydro test? If'n I get that bad I will stop making them. Ain't no plug you can't make swim with a simple weight here and there and the right hook size. I look for symetry and balance by eye and almost always they swim perty good.

Just can't keep that finish on for long, specially when them critters chews on 'em fer a while.

Why even try.........

Arrow and i was gonna say

that Capesam's knew what i was talking about....
having so many boats and years of experience i thought
he above all else would get it... oh well...

and....it's not berry juice...
its a carefully blended combination of
water, hops, barley, and yeast
fermented with best of care
and then bottled gently
with love...

conversely....
and i've read many articles on this subject...
sometimes a plug with give off a particular
wiggle...that sends the message...
i'm alive but injured or wounded
very imperceptively..... and it's not
necessarilly visable to the
human eye....but to the
fish it's easily recognized.

those are the plugs that
have that little something extra
that become prized possesions.
