Here's the big surfster and the Nike's.
Now on the Danny's you are just tail weighting, or tail and belly?

George, on the matter of line tie location, what difference would one find with the same lip i.e. Lefty 2 with a mid hole and hi hole? Could the difference of fractions be made up by bending the wire up or down to create the action of a fixed lip hole?

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.

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.

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.

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. |

Speaking of turds that catch fish i made some small musso darters (used the wrong wood) darted nice then would roll completely over and come across the top of the water smaking a few times then roll back and start darting again.The bass were like piranhas on it and wanted nothing else.A friend fishing next to me could not buy a hit we both were just laughing it was every cast go figure.

Surfster Talk!
Sgt. I love surfsters but I tried several before I designed my "Prey" swimmer and hated the action on them! They all rolled 180 degrees and they were just but ugly in the water! I wanted mine to wiggle and actually swim just below the surface. So I simply put a 00 slug of lead in the belly to act as a keel......it swims beautiful and drops below the surface easily without benefit of the sloped head! Try one without the lead in the belly Sgt. and one with a shot of lead....see how you like it?

But weren't surfsters originally designed for flat water thats why no weight and alot of roll?So when you bring it in slowly it has that wounded baitfish action.
