I'm sure he would be very interested in those.:humpty: DZ 06-24-2008, 11:45 AM SK, Very nice. I had Slipknot attempt to make a "swimming needlefish" a few years back. What I was looking for was a plug that had the profile and casting characteristics of a needlefish and the swimming motion of a polaris popper. As you may know some polaris poppers can also be used as swimmers - most notably the Super Strike. Bruce made me some but they didn't seem to cast and swim very well but I have caught some fish with them. How do your models cast and swim? Could you taper the tail end slightly thinner. There is a fine line of adding casting weight to the tail and still allowing it to sway back and forth. Thanks for sharing your design.

I made a couple of needle type poppers that swam like a needle - I found that when I moved the tail weight forward (I drilled deeper and used a plastic spacer at the tail) it wiggled like a snake. SPOOOKS!! love em. :cheers2: vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
