I was in the midst of making my first batch of these or something similar when this thread started. Tested them in the river this afternoon. Swam great about like a SS darter and a 37" Pike thought so too. Usually the river is solid this time of year and until this year I had an indoor test facility at the college I worked at. Just another advantage of not working there.
