Turn your screw eye 90 degrees. Get some small washers from Moore's or Stamina. Bend wire to shape. Works better than a swivel (which fouls). ProfM's basic idea.

Does the flap tail blade flutter / flap or does it spin? Based on it's shape it looks like it should flutter or "flap" like a tail , but the wiring detail shows it attached in such a manner that it could spin. If I had water I would test it but the tub is not long enough and my dad's pool has the cover (and a foot of snow) on it.
I am really looking forward to swimming the flaptail (and the flap on a darter as well).
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Both. It spins, but it will randomly fly out of the water and flap down on the surface as it does so.

I'd be happy too. Not sure about the great thing though! So the plug is a copy of a Bernie Myers flaptail that VB so kindly let me borrow. One of these days he'll invite me back and I'll return the orginal he doesn't even know he's missing!
Because the flaptail comes directly off the back of the plug it has a different action than the lido. As numbskull writes, the lido's tail spins in the water and then pops out on occasion. On this Myers plug the flaptail just bounces around as the plug is worked. Just two different styles. |

It's either here at lunch or late at night when those kiddos go to bed. When their around I don't stand a chance!
Here are the orginals in case anyone wants to see them. Probably should return them soon... 
Sorry if I'm hijacking the Lido thread... |
