heres one ive been fooling with the last few days. i think its pretty cool. im going to paint it pearlwhite then some nice blue scale action. havent really decided yet. its all wired up now because i was test floating it earlier and i think its gunna swim, we'll see.

heres the wieghting, 1 -0 shot on either side of the belly hook.

Christian...I wanna be your friend...

you are amongst the most courageous builders around.

Dat one looks real good with anice bunker pattern paint job.

Dude, we gotta fish a bunch this year

That profile looks a little tall and not quite wide enough......maybe should have gone a little wider for more boyancy? Just my .02 cents. Let me know how it goes Christian.:btu:

Looks like it might fall on its side like a pancake, know what I mean?:confused:

with the weight i think it will be fine.


Nice!!

link got it. before i test floated it without weights and it sat like a pancake like ya said, but then i added the two little shot and now it sits perfect. plus there will be a2-3/0 treble on the belly acting as a keel.:) :D this thing is in definite need of a test swim.:)

I had no doubt Christian, supposed to be a B-U tiful weekend for a swim!!!!!:D

Sweet... nice plug .. nice belly profile .. I think you have something there .

I like it. :D :D :D :D

That will work. I've made plugs like that and they swim good. Mine are weighted slightly different but the way you did it will work as well. I used small colorado blades on the ones I made. BA

Looks like a great experiment to me!:kewl:

NICE!

:drool: :claps:

I'd love to see that swim... that will be a killer, esp. with the colors you are planning.....

Looks good to me :happy: If the lip does not work out, you could always go with a lexan lip like those used on freshie crankbaits.

Jigman

I want You to give that Plug to Your Dad :)
