made it. A friend asked me about it and I dont know. I figured the down cape tackle junkie might:hihi:
The owner thought Heddon?

Interesting through pin design. Note belly hole drilled at an angle.

..

tail and front pin

Cuttyhunk Popper :drool:
Thats where his Dad fished it, maker?

Nice, I mean.... you don't want that old plug. I'll give you a nice shiney new gibbs popper and 20 bux for it. :D

I beleive it was mr.Borges or his dad that made them.

:) can't blame a guy for trying. If he does decide to sell it I am interested. The 20 bux and a Gibbs thing was just a joke.

Thats ok Mac I'll tell him but dont hold your breath. Been trying to get him to sign on for sometime but he's like me gentle nudging dont work. He needs :whackin:

I'd like to see an x-ray. My guess is there are swivels at the end of the wire inside attached to the through pin cause its not really through wired. So that being said the front loop swivels as do the belly and tail hook but you cant see a swivel. Pretty cool. Something different.

Give him a nudge about signing on.

I know how it was done.......A grumpy little birdy told me :D

Chris good to see you posting in this forum again.:hidin:

Thanks guys, Now if we could get that good looking grumpy little birdie to sing...

the popper for the info.:p ...........swivel in the stern has a small wire that connect's to the pin/ swivel in the belly and the one in the bow are both have the small wire too,connected to the pin just behind eye,,swivels were to short so they twisted up the wire to get the leight they needed to reach said pin's...talk about a hair puller to put together...I only put together a few because of it.

I was building this thing in my head and came to the conclusion you have got to be precise with wire lenght/twisting etc. Still interesting though.
Thanks CS.
On another note. I cannot beleive how helpful and eager you are to share with us you years of knowledge so we may all enjoy plug building and all the old plug history so it may not be forgotten and we neophites can learn a little something from those that have already invented the "WHEEL".

doesn't help anyone if you take your knowlage to the grave with you...I just made my first darta tonite....will be posting at some point my how too from start to finish.

yes sireee http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/ravenob1/my-dog.jpg

Numby has x-rays of those.

Biteme lent me an original one of these and it is primed in my cave as we speak. Hopefully I'll get it painted and posted this week. The holes are tuff to get the pins lined up and I'll post a pict when I do.

Capesams thanks for the information I took a little liberty with the plug in the rear the pin goes straight into the swivel but the next on I am going to do it jast as you described. Didn't see the post till it was too late.

I really like this plug though, not sure why since i've never fished one. Gotta find a better way to drill the belly hook hole at an angle so I don't loose any fingers.
