Even an eel guy can be useful once in a while.
Musso eely. 7.5", 2.3 oz
Credit to Back Beach, who thinks he saw someone fishing one once on the Race...........but then for all he knows it may have been a jitterbug. This time I think you nailed it, Mike.

like the non-jointed. what lip???

Beautiful....

Very nice, I'm really digging the jointed.

Pretty damn fine looking plug there... Can I get a good look at those at PlugFest?

Nice stuff as always, George what is the lip?.

LOL
VB

ps,Nice plugage

You got skills!!:drool:

really nice George .. Did BB remember a big fish story along with these plugs ?

Here are the specs. Keep in mind I do not have an original, the info is based on scaling and measuring pictures, and some assumptions on how Musso weighted it based on his other swimmers. I've also not fished this plug. I did test swim the straight version and was impressed (I was skeptical initially because of the low lip).

The straight version goes deep.

Again, this is not gospel.....I have not held an original.....but it all fell together so nicely that I'm pretty sure this is close.

You rock George, and beat me to the punch...come to think of it, those were jitterbugs I saw back in the late 80's...not sure what those things are you made, but they're gonna look great in my bag...

Did you wind up using a wadd style body to model them? I'm working on a couple non jointed ones now and they look similar...
:want:

Big jitterbugs are actually on the to do list (have been for years). Check out the one on Salty's site.

very nice, as usual George.

I touched them and they are beautifully done. I got a screwed up one, out of the trash. Glad he doesn't have a wood stove like me or it would have been ashes. I hope to make a few, someday. Don't miss them at the get together.
