I could take a few minutes to turn some but I have no time to experiment with the weighting. I see problems with weight that helps the cast and then it will not swim right. It may be worth a try though. Maybe next week someday.

If ya spin em, I'll swim em. (and weight em)

Bernzy, I'm pretty sure the Ace Hi's came before the J-Plugs?
They were made for comm salmon fishing.

The single hook makes them far easier to deal with.

I think you're correct. The J-Plug came about in the late 60's early 70's.

I've never used the Ace Hi's, but I have a bunch of Silver Hordes and J-Plugs that I used for Trout and Salmon while living near Lake Ontario from 80-89.

Incidently Silver Horde bought Ace Hi when they went out of business.
That was a smart move.
Or atleast one good enough to keep some of us from committing sepukku from losing one of those plugs.
