Good stuff guys. Sorry I missed it, I was on kid duty this morning. Seems like a thread that will keep going though. I'll take some pics this afternoon.

Yes, I have, but without the original to copy mine sucked. The line tie on the larger version is not on center.

Hey Paul. The plug Lu showed is a copy of a standard Musso Pine Sr. It uses a Pikie 3 lip. The plug you, Art, and a few others (Eddy I think) have is a creation I call a skinny donny. It is more heavily weighted and uses a lefty 2 mid slot lip. Very unstable plug that guys who use spinning tackle have a hard time reeling slowly enough. Don't have any unfinished ones left...they're all freehand anyways so they vary some. I'll see if I wrote down what I put in it for weight.

Pb.....the xray is of the wooden smaller atom jr. I don't know much about the styrofoam version......Grapenuts is the guy to ask about anything atom. I copied the 54b name from you, so we both may be wrong. Daignault makes mention of a heavily weighted atom jr that he caught 2 fifty pound fish on.....perhaps that is what you have although I always assumed it was a wood version.

Sgt Striper......what old plugs are you interested in, I might be able to help.

Lu, thanks for fishing the plug. I noticed that since I started heat setting the createx and drying the epoxied plugs in a heated box (@100 degrees) they have been much more durable.

Yes I built a few and this one was my first and best attempt. It swims nice and takes on a little darter like character in current. It is weighted mid point like a danny. I tried to make a better casting one with a tail weight and it was a turd. This is one of my favorite plugs to fish sometimes I just like watching it swim.
