I was just reading Flaptails "your gonna hate me post" and something NIB said got me thinking. Heres part of his quote regarding sealed plugs:

Not sure i like them that way I think I prefer a swivel as a fish can trow the lure on a fixed hook.

So I'm thinking, has anyone done a sealed plug with hook hangers and added an external swivel to the belly hanger?

hook hanger+ swivel+ hook?? the front hook would winde up scratching itself in the a**,,good thought though.

I think with a small extra strong swivel (krok) you could probably hide the top part of the swivel and seal that, leaving the barrel and lower loop exposed...
:huh:

RI, thats exactly what Im thinking. With the smaller size of some of the "hi-end" swivels like kroc or spro, I dont think it would change the distance much more than adding a split ring to the hanger.

This is how the Rebel jawbreakers were built, with a ballbearing swivel no less.

Here's a picture of one.

Cotton Cordell Pencil Poppers are made that way to this day. Loaded with bird shot and sealed they make excellent Canal plugs and cheap too!

Forgot about them...
and never thought about loading a CC Pencil....
one of my altime favorite daylight bass lures is the 7" pencil in chrome w/ black back...
