Spring Bombers

[steelhead]

Swam the parrot plugs today... The little one worked great. Got a few swrils behind it by some twinkies... The big one came in in a loose spiral :-( The lip is fairly narrow and pointy form the front. Was thinking I may need to widen it a bit. The plug is alos unwighted. Maybe a touch of weight near the nose? Any thoughts/suggestions anyone???

Went out under the lights last night with a bigger lip. Stabalized the spiral on the big one. Sinks like a stone. nose first. I rememberd that this one was made of maple. The idea being to help it swim deep. Will try a bigger lip. Then may move to the front of the plug with "conventional" lip or swap ends and make it into a pencil style plug..

Just try bending the lip down.even it heavy it should swim from what I can tell from the pic.seems like ur gettin it.One mistake at a time the best way to learn.

I've put a cut down big pikie lip on th parrot one. Will try that later tonight. Also made another body out of red cedar. put a big cut down Lefty lip on it and that seems to be getting me in th right direction. I ended bending it down like you mentioned NIB. That got me a nice tight subsurface wiggle in heavy current.
