My take on a tally wacker
the head is 2" with the tale 5" on the first one the second is 7" with the tail.

Beautiful workmanship. Looks like hook tangling might be an issue. The head is so small, I wonder if the plug even needs a belly hook (maybe a small weight instead). Or no tail hook at all, just a belly treble. A single hook plug of that length has a lot of appeal. Just thinking out loud. Thanks for showing it.

Keep thinking out loud, I always listen....

I do have a few more tails made up with and without the hook. I just need the ice to go away so I can do some more testing. Everything is now frozen solid around me :eek5:

Seems to me that the paddle tail on the top one would dampen the action of the lip on the front section,, Hows it swim...???

Not at all, I just went to a place that was not completely frozen and did some more testing. It swims great with the paddle tail so good I am going to fish it with that one. Also after 10 cast the tail did not tangle with the treble at all. I tried a split tail and it also swam well. The black tail on the other was a little heavy. I changed it out to a black zoom and it swam nice. Nice wiggle the weakfish should love the pink one.
