no sir.. WRC... I've tried them out of everything reasonable.. best results were with WRC.. the original was White cedar..they scrapped it when there was a WC shortage so they could continue to make more lucrative plugs like the Pikie...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Mike, I'm going to try AYC, NWC on a large one, and maybe basswood.
We really need to get Numby, Paul and any of the other darter guys in on this!

Couldn't make it to plugfest,but I finished this stuff up last night. Gonna test them out today. The needles are all floaters, except for the green one with purple around the eye that's a slow sinker. Looking forward to seeing some plugfest pictures
