Been thinking of copying the same plug. Get the weight right and it will be more than a popper.

The biggest fish stiil to this day ever taken on a plug in the canal was on one of Stan's 4-1/2 oz. Castalure poppers in blue. I beleive it was in the late fifties and the guys name was Machado.

I'm looking at the picture in Ivanoff's book. Frank Machado's 63 pounder. That's the plug, looks like a mackeral pattern:wiggle:
