First batch finished. Will need to tweek hook locations. Top left, original Musso surface swimmer. Immediatly below are plugs with NJT Lefty 2 lips, one belly weight and then two belly weights. On the right, top two have NJT 1 Lips and one an then two belly weights. Bottom right is with NJT Danny2 lip and one belly weight. They go swimming today. Next batch is a much more consistent rendition of the body profile (size and profile). They're painted and waiting for epoxy....

The atkins diet goes away on the next batch... Helps to have the real thing to hold in your hand and look at... Working on the thru wire stuff :-)
The subtle thing that i have noticed from looking at the musso danny is that the widest part is slightly aft of center. That last picture the fattest point is dead center.

You're right. The danny is slightly aft of center. This style swimmer it's dead center.

Nice Plugs my friend,
From what I can see, you have far to many of those to fish all of them. Swing by the store and I'll help you out by taking a few off your hands. PB
