Old Heddon Swimmer/Flaptail .. I was really trying to build something that would appeal to Steve . Something he'd pic up and give that look . Had to be plain old basic colors .. Plain old black/gold for Steve ..

More on the coo coo side of things .. I saw Eskimo win this thing ... If you don't like it you can always pluck the glass eyes out .. Like $5 for those things ..

Here's my attempt. Got to make some more and also some smaller ones for freshwater. I gave this to Patrick for the kids trout day.

Here's mine classic/flaptail, its a reproduction of a Bernie Meyers complete with screw eyes construction and bent wire flaptail hanger. Second picture is some modernized version of these flaptails I plan to fish this year.

Remake of a Mackeral.Gibbs GTS-3. I thinks Alysha(sp) form M&D's won it. My first mackeral paint scheme w/airbrush.
