Professor,
I use a 6/0 on VMC perma steel on the tail and 4/0 VMC treble on the belly...

Woodbuster..
I'm gonna bring a bunch of stuff, hopefully I get time to make a few baby bunker hand carved, seeing as I gave them all away at chrismas.. I'll even bring bugzilla and her sister propzilla for everyone to check out, hopefully we have some where to swim them... they create quite a ruccus on the surface...

Backbeach jake,
Of coarse I have a catalog.... it's in the form of a loose leaf binder full of all my screw ups in the endevor to make 'em swim right!...

Interesting shape to the bottles, different than the direction I've been going. Hope to see you at the plugfest and compare notes.......lot of subtleties to those things. Thanks for showing them.

numbskull,

those are crappy pictures, but those bottles are simular to the Donny Musso style, flatter face, less cup to the mouth, flared cheeks, When I first started making them, I made them like a gibbs bottle, they dove OK but had very little action, since I've changed the face, they are quite lively... if... I flare the cheeks correctly... if not PFFFFFT.. dud.
