That's a cool little plug. Sort of a cross between a plug and a metal squid. What sort of action does it have?

Nice bottles for sure, I weight my AYC one in the tail and under the chin, the maple ones get a weight just behind the hook which is forward of center and again in the chin... I like the X ray shots....

Here are some needles and a few darters I finished this week...

big fish on, whats the weight on the plug?

A few to liven it up. The strange one is an upsized knockoff of a Pfluger plug called a Tantrum minnow. Didn't get it right and haven't swum it yet, but what the hell, always fun to try something new.

You may not think it is right, but if you finished it you have a good idea it will swim OK.

You seem to have the bottle down perfect. The angle on the mouth is real good. We have to get together at plugfest for a couple of minutes so that I can learn your secret. Did you use a dremel to get the proper angle?

Which is a knockoff of the west coast salmon plugs aka J Plugs.
