All pencils are weighted in the ass so that they can walk the dog like a zara spook. By weighting the center of it.... This will kill the action and make it harder for you to get the right zig zag that drives the bass up to the surface to grab it... Now to much lead will make it sink.
Most guys use AYC for pencils and drill a 1/2 hole in the ass for the weight.
I hope this helps ya and dont cut round plugs with the chop saw because the saw will rip it out of your hands at high rate of speed and drag your fingers towards the blade... always use a push stick when using a table saw.

OK back on track here

off to a good start there N.ShoreFisher

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Now I see what happened here.... OCM, it's a 2 oz.spook kit from Bugger. You mistook it for a pencil from the pics.




Thanks, Bruce.

a spook likes a little weight in the rear so when you twitch it, the rear tries to get ahead of the front therefore giving it the side to side rythym

some of the paint chipped a little when I removed the tape, and the black isn't as smooth as I wanted, but screw it, I'm done painting this plug. lol

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery

There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965
