Wow a canal special with the hooks on the wrong side. How does that puppy swim?? It must dive deep once it digs.

low & slow 37

Cedar Darta weighs 2-1/2 oz. dives deep and wobbles, but doesn't flip. I think its a keeper. Also making some heavier ones now out of some hard old yellow pine and a few Basswood Surfsters that were sealed today. Will start paining when I get back from vacation in about a week.

Not quite 100 mph, but I do like to paint wet on wet, mix rattlecan colors right on the plug. Sometimes get disapointed and have to redo.
Epoxied 2 Darters today.
