I've have a friend that i run into fishing all the time and i tell you its a small world.Numskull (George) i hope this helps you out.This guy happened to now the proffesor actually was his neighbor.He just let me borrow a banana plug so here are some picks and if you have any questions feel free to ask as i''l try to answer them.

:)

What are the true dimentions on that lure?

:),

Lou ... do i see one plug arse weighted horizontaly and the other arse weighted verticaly ?

Same plug has weight going both ways one going vertical and one going horizontal.

As for the dimensions they are like the frech articles only diffrence i see in the one george made (George you are soooooo close on this its amazing)and the frech one is that George went to the smaller width he should go with the wider one on top also the back belly hook should go back another 1/2 inch or so i'll measure it exact tommorow with a vernier caliper.As for the float test he nailed it floated the same.I'll look at them again tommorow and see if i can pick up anything else i'll also do a weight comparison.

BINGO! I can't tell you how much this helps me, Lu. Thanks. I think my plug will be about 1/2 oz less, it has less wood and less lead. Could you also either post a picture of the original's nose, or check that I've got the line tie at the right height. Oh boy, am I happy. I'll have to send you a plug, you can have the one I was saving for Tagger.:laugha:

Dammit! I still haven't got a decent Roman turned yet and now you guys do THIS to me!:rotfl:

Oh boy, am I happy. I'll have to send you a plug, you can have the one I was saving for Tagger.:laugha:

:exp:

you were going to give to Tagger :laughs:

I love how this lure just sits so its flat top is barely peaking out of the surface...it must be a killer in clean quiet water... twitch and glide twitch and glide :hihi:

You guys amaze me on a regular basis :love:

BINGO! I'll have to send you a plug, you can have the one I was saving for Tagger.:laugha:


Hey thats my line...:D

Hey Lu;
All this info is way over my head:splat: :huh: Make a couple extra and send them to me..........:spin:

Hey thats my line...:D
I was thinking of you when he said it ... whats this an epidemic ? :splat:

Its spreading all over the world.... don`t eat any plugs and beware of migratory plugs as well :devil2:

Eddie.... if for some strange reason George screws up and sends one to me I`ll get it in the mail to you after I love it for a day or so.:beat:

Some more info.I measured from the front hook to the back hook and its 3.00 exactly.Also the nose is loop looks to be slightly lower on the original.The edge on top is more rounded as it goes to the tail.Their is a slight slope on the top front and at the rear also the shape on the front is a little more rounded.Hope these pics help.

I forgot the plug weighs 4.5 ounces with hooks the bare wood one weighs 4.0 ounces.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me salvaste' yo estaba en las mismas!!!! :hihi: :buds: was just starting to arm wrestle these before the herring showed up :buds:

You're THE MAN, Lu. Back to the bandsaw tonight for round three. A little fatter and rounder face, a little more nose slope, a little further between hooks, a little lower line tie, ................. and somewhere Mr. Frech will be smiling. Thanks much.

Glad i could be of help to you guys ,just returning the favor.

Thanks again Lu! :buds:

Basicpatrick has told me that bananas and fishing is bad luck !!!
