Here is a pic of a new long thin plug I call a Needle Popper. It is 9" without the hooks. When the macks are running in the canal. This will be murder. Sorry about the pics. I have the worst digital camera and even worst pic skills.

:) Let me know if there are any ideas

nice!!!


Jr Link

Another view even worst pic. LOL:happy:

nice:D

Nice little stickbait RI Popper.

There's an idea! We get a quick run of tinkers off the south shore around here in the late spring. Those would work no doubt!
Problem is they are usually just out of casting distance of mack flavored swimmers. Something like you got weighted in the arse will work nice at first light.

Nice work!

Surfster, I didn't add any weight to the hiney, but That's an idea. but then it would need to be ripped through the water. Is that cool for the run?

I'm stealing that design! I love it!!

Looks like it would cast like a rocket. Nice colors!:)

Put a spook like nose on them and you have a spoodle, no joke, I made some last year at ~7-8" and ~3/4" around... nice side to side action....

Rockhound I think this would still walk the dog even with the cupped mouth.

with the unweighted tail it probably will swing a bit... weighted tail will throw a mile, what does it weigh now?

that would be 2.1

my 0.02 would be to put ~ .3 -.5oz in the tail, so with hooks it ends up around 3oz... good weight for that length... One worry would be pinwheeling with out a tail weight.. have ya chucked it yet? I like the concept though!:btu:

Hound, putting lead in the tail would help it avoid pinwheeling.

Thats what I'm sayin man... noone ever gets me :D :D

I think that plug, 9" or so, 3oz would be pissah, as long as it's tail waited... otherwise it's gonna throw like ca ca... too much windage if it doesnt cast butt straight....

I like it Armen, can I get a second in lime green?

wellllll arrangements might be made :) It's a tad over 2oz with the hooks. Unless I stuff the center hole aft with extra SSwire maybe add 1/2 oz. Last year one very similar to that one caught a tourny winner at cape cod. 45.7 pound striper. :) I got a beautiful pic of it.

It doesn't take a lot to keep a weighted plug on top in the Canal current. Gibbs Canal Specials sink like a rock but they plane fine once you get them back to the surface.

Nice Work Armand!

Let me know when these hit the shelves!

Also, I may want to add one to the Plug Project Display for the unique design! :btu:
