like the skinny profile ,,, is it rolly ? You get it to swim ... That little dark one with the big eye is interresting .. Lots of unfinished stuff there .. Looks like the Proffesor's cave . I thought he was going commercial making plug kits ..  |

Hell, Tony, it looks right on to me. How much weight did you put in it? I think I used 14-15 grams 3.75" back. Will roll horribly, but swim at as slow a retrieve as you can muster. On most I bend the line tie down, sometimes as much as I can. The low lip, which makes it so unstable, seems also will pull it down, the low line tie lifts it up. I used 3/0 cut VMCs. The plug floats low. Tug short and fast and if it does a barrell roll you've got it right. Hard plug to fish when you can see it and you're searching..........you will start retrieveing too fast. But if you know there are fish around and can force yourself to really creep it....they'll crush it......day or night.
On the ones I got going right now, I lifted the line slot a fraction above midline (the originals were on the midline) trying to get a plug that can be worked a little faster before it rolls out. Haven't tested them yet.

Thats a tester model..Note the bent hooks.It's been so long since I made it I'm not sure of the action.If i have time tommorow i will retest it now I know what i should be looking for.I must've been happy Or I would have trashed it.It has a pretty big slug of lead in there I cut a big tail weight. not sure if it goes 1/2 once though.It is 3.75" from the face it has the 2 oz lefty lip mid slot.cut in mid.face..I have the eyelet bent up.Must have been in effort to keep the plug from poppling out.It goes 2.7 with no sealer or top coat.So I figure it will come in around 3.1-3.3
Thanks for your help geo..
