Those are nice. I have never heard of them before. Ignorance is bliss. P.

[vineyardblues]

FLOYD ROMAN lures were made with screw eyes and wire tru
If your having issues with the wire
90% of mine are screw eyes
I would guess the screw eyes are early,,, late 30's early 40's

Whoops posted wrong one .. I sneezed in the epoxy on that one ,,,,just mixed it in ..Roman Nike ,,No weight sounds good,, lively ,,like musso darter.. What kind of wood.. hard maple , or a cedar , white pine ? what are they made of ..

[Backbeach Jake]

While working today and thinking about those plugs, it occured to me that I hadn't asked what kind of wood. It would(wood?) make a difference. Thanks Tagger. Any pic of your work could never mess up a thread. Never.

[Tagger]

not to beat a dead horse,, anyone know what kinda wood... thanks.. fred ..your on plugs for life list. little black danny is magic .. thanks for letting nephew ho u ..

[tobias]

I think it might be red cedar. Where there is paint missing on my original, the wood is very soft. The lure looks like it has about 10 coats of paint, pretty thick.

I did the "balance the lure in the middle" and the tail wanted to fall first and if the lure is made of red cedar, it wouldn't weigh 3.5 ounces without some weight. Just my observation.

[capesams]

these two seem to be red cedar..blue one is 3/4 at the tail while the yellow is 5/8.......blue is 7 1/2 long while the yellow is 7 1/4, both are 1 5/8 thick.
both are through wired, but the belly has screw eyes..I can also see abit of lead in the tail..3/16 thick by ??long..nothing in the tummy.




weight on these are 2.55/ 3.0 0z.
