A Floyd, with a nose job, looks neat.
Nice work, as per usual.

The hooks are new (1986 vintage Mustads), something funny about the lighting (no flash?) just makes them look used. I did fish it tonight, however. Too bouyant (in spite of a tail weight and floating attitude as you've described). Hard to get it down, and it took too fast a retrieve to keep it down, but it looked really good when it was swimming (just faster than I'd want). Either more weight, a higher line tie, wider diving plane, or slimmer profile...........I don't know..... but seems like it is worth tweeking. FYI it wasn't anywhere near an exact copy of an original, I don't have one of the medium ones. Cool plug, as you and PNG have found out, and one with a lot of promise. |

Mine swims and stays down just fine I made the larger one... I tried different wood and was prepared to do hardwoods but ayc worked just fine .. I think red cedar or white pine would be a bad choice ,,too light .. I look at this lure as a fishy looking bottle darter . Maybe VB will post pick... here we go ...

Nothing like having a real model ,,,, pictures aren't as accurate ... Why couldn't you just go up the street to the Flap museum and borrow one... |
