Tommy, you know I love needles but all my biggest fish, on lures, have come on Dannys. 3 to 4oz and White with a red chin. For what it's worth, my biggest fish have al been on rigged eels. |
No boat, back in the suds.

Interesting Paul, I always thought there was something to slimmer bodied plugs that culled out the larger fish. Maybe the tendency to have a more lackadaisical motion to them. Large dannys would completely contradict that, but, it’d all depend on the bait present in that time and place. |

When the pogies are around, the big white Dannys are deadly. Once there were schools of pogies all over the Bay. Guys were snag and drop and live lining. I was throwing a big White Danny around the edges of the schools and I was hooking up on every cast. |

I have one of your spooks and I don't want to fish it. It looks too nice! |

Working on the Dalecki darter, I think I have got the body roughly down. Using two different templates, and turning the neck 3/32in off center. These are my tests just using cedar. Getting some hardwoods soon for the finished products.
The lip angle is 39 degrees, I have not determined the proper slope angle yet. Maybe another member on the site who has already made a few of these can give me some tips? Hint hint
