Yup Paul with Darters but with anything with a metal lip its a waste of time as the lip controls the action along with it's placement. kinda like where you place the eye on a darter as far as how deep it will dig.Until the last few yrs not a lot of anglers used them. so the numbers weren't cost prohibitive. One of the reason that most went from wood to plastic on darters. Even with the Tatoos you still hear loads of compaints due to inconcistancy. I heave a couple dozen and at least 1/3 don't track well.I did get one word of wisdom on darters from an oooolllddd timer. The tighter the grain on the wood the heavier it is. Tight grain goes on the bottom. not sure how true it is as my 6 darters still don't pass the test.I think I used the rong wood.LOL
