The tail weight looks like a typical cone tail weight that Stan Kuzia use to make. Stan Kuzia and Stan Gibbs worked on that shape togther for plugs in the canal.
Is that where you got the inspiration for that design?

Eric,
I am not sure if you are asking me, but those are pictures from an article, they are not mine. I just thought the profile was very close to Kuzia's tails which i know Stan Gibb's developed for him (or at least provided the input).
Kindest,
Billy

Yes, I did mean the pictures you posted. The lines on those plugs are just beautiful. |

thanks, tail weights are not cast lead they are machined 303 stainless steel to a cone shape. a canal fisherman who happens to have the same first name of stanley has taken me under his wing. he has shared alot of his plug making knowledge with me, and i am very grateful for it. we have discussed this design and with some tweeking think we have a keeper.

Machinist,
If that person is Stan Kuzia you are one the right track as Stan is a legend in his own right. Best of Luck to you with the lures, looks great.
Kindest,
