The same type method is on the Heddon vamp except they used hangers instead of barrel swivels.

Very nice plugs Tagger. Here are some pics of my Sylvester Flaptail for comparison. Your rigging is slightly different. On the original the swivel is actually screwed to the bottom of the plug into a countersunk spot.

it occurred to me

that if half a dozen guys
stood say five feet apart
and all cast a similar plug
towards the apex of the triangle
they could imitate a school
of bait fish... by cooperating
similar to how dolphins do it.


just a thought.... MORNING ! )

I was positive this was a Jerry Sylvester Fishmaster ... I like the hangers too ... The real question is ?? How the heck do they get that Flap on the barrel swivel ??

I was looking at this and I think mine is from the days before Fishmaster, just a Jerry Sylvester Flaptail. Your method is right on for the Fishmaster era, sorry for the confusion.
