show me a pic
what the %$%$%$%$ I work a few years on a plug and now im told what it is.
how quick we forget about plugs and who was doing what and putting time in.
no i didnt invent the wheel im just trying to make the %$%$%$%$ing thing square thats all........

It's true now that I just came up from the cave it does resemble an Arbogast Prancer. The Prancer had an external lead tail though. This version, BM's, is slightly thinner now than the ones I saw him test and that Prancer is thin as well. I would chock that up to coincidence.:D

BigFish 12-14-2004 05:54 PM

All the "props" to you BM...you da man!;) You do nice work and you put alot into your plugs.:btu:

flap post a pic? does the plug have a round nose?
you seen that plug i think 32 or 3 years ago so You seen it evolve.
why are there so many %$%$%$%$%$%$%$s out here?

Flaptail 12-14-2004 06:06 PM

Dave, I do not have a pic but I know the Arbogast plug well as I had a couple but they are long gone now. Your plug, by shear coincidence, looks a lot like it but there are disimilarities as well. The eye loop was in the same place and the action was the same as well as the plug dimensions ( lengthxwidth). The Prancer hasn't been made in 25 years at least.:)

could this be it? http://www.byronsantiquelures.com/prancer.htm

bassmaster 12-14-2004 06:14 PM

thanks. I really want to see one now

thefishingfreak 12-14-2004 06:31 PM

i think they look pissa!!
i'd like to troll one of those surfsters way back on wire in a certian channel in boston. way too deep for anyone else:D like cod deep.
or on a 3 way with about 16 oz when the tide is rippin' 4+kts and tears up the live bait. those would kill.
i notice a little marbly freaky paint there too. very nice:)

vineyardblues 12-14-2004 06:50 PM

Who cares ???
It's a cross between a fred Arbogast Prancer/ dasher and a
Smithwick Wood Devils Horse Prancer Fishing!
SEnd me one so I can get a better look please.
Ho Ho

cool now im a nazi:laughs:
all you need to do is break up the solid color with black paint actually. the mack may have its times but as a fisherman the above is all you really need

Backbeach Jake 12-14-2004 08:43 PM

Got two prancers one from the beach and one from the welfoot flea. Their action sorks! BM's wood definately don't sork. if ya can keep thebloos away:( I really don't see much resemblance between those two lures:confused: Panzer Mac, I love that name.

kippy 12-14-2004 08:48 PM

Dave you should keep the plugs stashed away in the man cave because some here are jealous..

bassmaster 12-14-2004 10:43 PM

krissy You got a pic of one of those plugs?
I doubr there any thing like what I have made as size and weighting go.....
i told You you suck:D

ROCFISH 12-21-2004 03:30 PM

NEW PROTOTYPE
 
I've been following this discussion and in fairness to BM offer the following suggestion. As an independent observer I will be willing to provide my services. Just send me one sample of each color of the new plug in every size available and I will carefully analize weigh and field test them for you.
In six to eight months I'll give you a detailed written report.
This should help to avoid and eliminate any possible claims of patent infringement or copy catting .
Since it is Christmas time I will forgo my usual fee for this important service.
Happy Holidays to all
Dan;)
