Hey George those are very nice. Beautiful job. Maybe if I make it over someday for a hand carve lesson you can show me one of those too?

Numbskull,
VERY nice. Consider adding another shot of weight into that rocket about where a forward treble would go. Should push the weight close to 2 ozs. Maybe then you could use it with your tackle? I know the original Danny's came in various weights. One I have has 4 slugs of lead. Remember: the original was meant to be a "Wooden Hopkins" - the Hopkins it was imitating was the No=Eql
(2 ounce model.) Size 3 1/2

George - that bass seeker is awesome. Will you have it at plugfest? I have got to get a closer look. As usual - great work.

Have Paul come by and get me on the way I'd love to see your laboratory someday too.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
