stripercrazy 01-24-2008, 09:53 PM flaptail, thanks:cheers:I'll have to think about the tailweight maybe 1.5oz with 6x vmc sealed/painted/epoxy plus 2 eyes..pic has mustard 4/0 maybe the shorter vmc 5/0 thanks again:cheers:
The Dad Fisherman 01-24-2008, 10:13 PM Flap....where'd you get those eyes? I've been flirting with getting the purchasing guys at work to print me out a few on there decal printer.
Striper crazy, that looks sweet....you could probably kill somebody with one of those.
Flaptail 01-24-2008, 10:32 PM I got that plug from Stan. The eyes were already on it.
The Dad Fisherman 01-25-2008, 09:15 AM Sorry, I thought you made that one and was wondering about the eyes...I guess I will have to hit up the purchasing guys and see if they can make some for me

stripercrazy 01-26-2008, 10:00 PM tested it today looks good...thanks to stan gibbs:cheers:..I ended up putting 2.5 inches of 3/8 tail weights....at 4.1oz it had 1.75 inchs of lead..so it should be really close the the real weight...it floats with 3 inches sticking out(ballpark) of the water

Thanx, I've seen those but they all are made with that prism effect...I want some of those old school dull yellow with the black dot and outside ring.....
