Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna fish this stuff. Cabelas and CVS are on the agenda for tomorrow to pick up thread and nail polish. Siwash hooks are already in, considering tying my teasers on those. Might pick up something else.

I also have plans to come up with a contraption that measures the drag created by an item. Hoping it allows me to compare bare trebles with dressed hooks and flags. My goal is to try to replicate the existence of those pieces on stock plugs where I really like the action but not the rear treble. Good example is the largest magic swimmer. I like the plug but with a large belly treble only. I feel like fishing bit with just that layout kills its action, especially at slow speeds. A flag on the rear hanger tied with enough bulk and the right material should fix the action and keep the plug from catching my hands and other plugs in storage.
