"Canal Pencil"

In a current like the canal the flat bottom lets the plug ride the top better. this allows builders to add more weight.

Huh...guess I don't quite understand that...aren't you sanding away buoyancy (and reducing lead need) by taking it to the belt sander?

Seriously, Chris -- you don't think this design has a benefit?

when makin the plug walk the dog the flat bottom adds stability too, it wont roll out as much when you're really rippin it. absolutely a benefit.
