Chunkah will be doing a flaptail for me, any kind his pick.

Im working on a masterlure rocket 8" for sgt striper. Its a cool shaped plug, might need to add some belly weight and maybe a small tail weight, originals had none from what I can tell from the one I picked up, most of the belly paint is missing, and shows no signs of weight.

Should be a fun swap/challenge.

having never made one should be interesting.

Plan on turning a few extra bodies to use as reference if any body wants one for future turning.

Chris, Try a tail weight only first, I'd do a .25x1.00", maybe even slide it up to the back of the 1st hook!
