Yes you are right that must of been a pain to drill as you need a big hole and then either fill or just cap it.I would guess is to lower the center of gravity to not get as much roll. |

Paul on the jigspook did you insert your weight side to side and then drill through it?

yes and I really liked the action. It is a pretty big weight for that size plug but it is kind of a fat plug too so it is a wash. |

Good Morning all. I'm early. No paper yet. Got 8" snow w/ wind blown drifts up to 2" . God I hate snow. Gotta plow later. George, I've been studying the 2- A54B pixs. In the xray it looks like the wire hole is say 5/16" and the weight is on the bottom and the wire slides over the top. It doesn't seem like a double cut hole by the shadow marks. I finally got the blank template set up on the lathe. Using my plastic Atom version, I come up with 1 1/16" diameter, 5 3/8" length. The pix looks like 1 1/8" dia. like an Atom Jr w/ 5 5/8"length. Do you know what the swim characteristics were in this plug w/ just a recessed tailweight? I looks to cast better the an A-jr. |

Prof M. here is the rear view of my weight placement of my belly weight Wadd. the hole 3/16" and below a 1/4" dowel plugging up the remaining hole. Put entire blank on lathe and spin away. I do go slower when I approach the dowel area.

I went out the the harbor which was the only open water and tested a NCG setup on a 1201L and swam my version of the Atom 54B. I was impress all around. The rod casted great with the concept set up , 30,20,12,8,8,8,8,8,10tip. The Atom 54B was the other homerun. Swam down just under <1', wiggle ever so nicely. used 2/0 treble on the belly w/pennant on tail. Very nice S wiggle. Thanks for all your help George. By the way I put 11gram tailweight thru the wire. I cut a 7 gram in half and put the half and a whole one into a 17/64" hole up to the swivel hole shy of going inside the hook hole 1/16". Filled the void w/ wooden spacer. Got to get some of the roll plastic Prof. M has.

Don't have an original, but I've spent so much time copying his stuff I feel pretty confident I know how he would have gone about it. We'll see. |

The small wooden atom jr I have is 5 1/2" long and 1.18" (1 3/16' I think) wide.
The larger unfinished wood atom jr body I have is 6 1/4" long and 1.20 thick. No hook holes. The tail is .53" wide, the tail taper begins about 2 1/2" from the end and is straight over the last 2 ". The diameter at 2" from the tail is 1.17" (approx 1 1/8). The nose is quite blunt, curving over about 3/8". The plug is very tight grained white cedar. Old growth I'll bet. Nothing like the white cedar we can get now.
The smaller version (whose xray I posted) is .68" at the tail, begins it's taper a 2 1/2 ", most of which occurs after 2", but instead of straight is a hair concave. It's hooks are 1" and 3 1/2" back. The daimeter at the second hook is 1.09" (about 1 1/6).
The line tie is 5/16" below the lip slot. The lip is similar to the one Salty sells.
