Notice the sand on the Big redwood! Things a battle ship going up river.
Little round head pikie AKA Lil Shirley swam great all four inches of it.
Have to say I was happy with all the test swims. They all said eat me with little effort.

psssst slip notice the handle on the Nautil :D:D Told you I'd get rid of that ugly bannana handle! Turned it on my lathe from a piece of red oak fire wood. Then lemon oiled bath to get the oils in there good. Wasn't hard to do either!

Fluk I made them all bunch of types, round heads with surfster lips, swim with a big push lof water like a conn Yankee. Non weighted flatheads with pikie lip with the belly hooked used as a balance point. This gives it a head down with an s tail motion. Some carved metal lips that throw far and stay on top. Striper pikies were sweet on top all the way with a sweet swim. All in all a nice day of pluggage swimming

Nice plugage :kewl:

I have one more I made if you want it. But you'll have to do the finish work. I used the brass screwthingie in the bannana handle to attach the wood handle. I'll do a post on what I did when I get a chance to take some pictures but your welcome to the other handle.
Karl I hope to bring trade bait to the Cape but first I need to make some money for plane and hotel and other expensives. I've had some bad luck lately and the cash flow is dead.

Actually I think it was birch. Only cost a buck and I was there. Next one will get some kind of paint or maybe a mermaid decal:D
