Tony nice squid darter,, I see your going hangers to avoid splittage .. Only problem I had doing that is not waiting until the plug was totally dry inside. I think my sealer was still tacky in there, causing my finish to pucker up and wrinkle,, not right away , I'm not giving up on it ,just wondering with a totally sealed up plug if it be better to go back to a urethane sealer.. something that dries hard .. I love/hate darters...

Very NICE Edd
You know what I like
I have a few of them myself that are almost ready.How did your weight s work out on them.Just looking at the picture and the tie placement,I think they must swim the balls.That bottom handcarve,what did it do in the water???
Ther has been so talk about copying but the O is aplastic plug which is a LONG WAY from a wood version in action and size.You should do quite well with them.

thanks Gary .. the bloody gill one I put a 00 shot in the belly and I think it might be too much .. It does not swim on the surface ,,it comes in on the bottom. Just playing with I was pulling the rod down and the lip was digging in the bottom and tossing sand up .. That maybe good,,not sure yet.. if it is I did it on purpose ..

Thumbs up

Love the bling needle. Bet it slays. And those herring!
