Going to try to make it to plugfest this weekend. I've got a wedding of a very distant friend. Trying to convince the wife to back out we'll see if it goes over but I'd love to meet some of the guys on the board and swap some plugs. I'm going to do a batch of swirlies up this week.

Very sweet. I just turned 1/2 dozen very similar swimmers. Moved the tail weight back a shade and turned them narrower than the originals. Cast like a bullet and swim better than a danny at slow speeds. Very promising plug. Been asking myself why I didn't go this route years ago.

No. The originals are usually pine (pretty sure), though he did make a "maple" , but I was freelancing and used AYC to get a denser/heavier plug. I'll show you at the plugfest. Got some xrays as well.

The original were made out of pine I believe. I know these are pine. Hope this helps
