I thought these pix were cool...I built a beefy darter for a windy spot with strong sweeping current. On this night the lure did its job.

Thanks, and I agree numbskull

that was 3rd fish of night, first with my wood. Tide was dropping fast, and could not keep big bucktail (that cut wind) off bottom long enough to sweep through. It took several casts to cut wind, dig in, and sweep through...but when it did, BAM!

wish I had more time to build and test
