Thxs. for the comp's.....I was just fussin around in the lab one nite and this popped off the lathe. She'll be a bottom bouncer for sure, lots o lead in the nose an mid dirft,,5 1/2" x 1 1/4,,,all hardwood...
next one will get a small tail screwed under the nose[tail] loop cause there isn't much room for a slot.
Mac...yes..5's..big swivel's too.

BOAT fish do count.

Just what I need another project. I am still trying to get my first wooden plugs done. If I only had 10 hands I'd be all set. It would probably be pretty simple except for having no time. One for the drawing board though. P.

That one is special. It may even attract women who like lobster, like my wife.
