Thinking of changing that to "Knuckleball darter" .. I think Jake/Fred suggested ..I'm going to keep making this until I get it right .. I put a beak on for initial dig.. Although the other darted extremelly well and was wondering if it was the dalveki style beak .. I also moved hook back to anchor it a little better..Next would be to make head narrower .. maybe I got to much plane area . This thing cast unreal ,,like a cannon ball ..I don't want to add any lead .. seems all the great darters have no weight added.. Please feel free to offer suggestions ..I make all Protos white or yellow for hi visability ..

This one better behave or he'll meet my bandsaw ..

That thing looks slick........ :drool:

i would love to test one of those for you :hidin:

tagger, my only thughts that might make it dart better is to make the tail just a little bit pointier. Doing so could improve the hydrodynamics and maybe not create any drag behind the plug which would cause the tail to stay stationary.

i know that sounds strange, but after NIB's coaching i made 2 identicle darters and one had a sharper point in the tail- that one was drasticly better...

GET IN MY BELLY YOU!!

only thing i'd change would be bigger eyes :eyes:

I resemble that remark!!! :hihi: who ya callin?.... ;)

Nice, but really, such cruelty to that sawed plug :doh:
was it really nessecary? :hihi:


Nice one Ed :kewl:

The Tagster is on a rampage again:hihi: :drool: :kewl:

I think I'd try wrapping a little solder around the eye of the hook. If it don't flip then maybe a bigger hook or a belly weight. Just my mental wheels crushing rocks again... :huh:

I think eban may have something...to much caboose..ever see them gals at the beach with those big floppy suits on..when they go in the water air gets trapped in the hind quarters of the suit..kinda looks like ballons..they float well but can't swim fa been's.
