That sounds good, I think I'll give that a try. My Danny's have little bit to much roll..need to address that too.
Thanks for the surfster measurements, got one done. I'll take a pic and post in a few minutes.

Roll is a different issue and has more to do with the lip and line tie location than weighting.
But before you get too caught up in roll, my best catching danny/donny style plug is so unstable it will do a barrel roll with a twitch of the rod tip. Forget the eyes, keep your paint scheme subtle, and reel sloooowwwwww (conventional tackle helps).....you may be surprised.

Sorry I'm late coach...
Tailweighted dannys, I've done that and do except for the little fat ones. Works well to slow it down.
With pikies, too. slowes them down and make them swim more "S" like.

OK! Here we are.....where I was last week. ProfM gave me the primed Nike body and I turned this copy by hand which I will use as a template! Got a new duplicator coming shortly! I can't wait to get some of these done and ready for paint! I have never swam a Nike before! I am looking forward to making some very small versions for fresh water use!

When they swim, they are a thing of beauty. Never mastered them, came close and actually had fish following. Tagger gave me an unfinished one with all the circles and chechmarks in the appropiate places after my WAG attempts. I may revisit the Nike.

such thing as really late?
Can this thread carry on throughout the week for those of us who work on sunday?
Thanks to numbskull, I've been slowly accomplishing some Musso Jr. and Sr. knock offs. The Dimensions are accurate now I'm working on the weighting. Only 6.125" but both the SS and Pine come in at 2.75oz.
Oh yeah and some pencils too. |

Danny eyes: I made a few and didn't like the way they looked while swimming. Some rolled so much that it looked as tho the eyes were on top of the plug. I imagine that a fish would think "What the H!!" seeing a baitfish with it's eyes bobbing all over the place.

Fred makes this "Dying Danny"......thing swims ugly as hairy ass......but I watched the fish pound this thing one night down the back! Fred got I think his biggest surf bass that night if memory serves?! Went a healthy 30 pounds easy right Fred? Awesome plug....just like Karl said.....floundering, dying baitfish! |

That little plug... 
I fished it like this:
Cast wait , do absolutely nothing
Big yank, wait
Start slowly cranking
WHAM
Repeat
Best night I ever had. Now the truth, that plug was s**t beginner luck, the first of two swimmers of any kind that I ever built. Larry you have the other in olive. |
