they all weight 2.7 oz , I think they only have a tail weight?
most lip cuts are dead nut center, The redhead looks a bit lower.
If you lined up Any old Manf they are all off a bit , No QC back in the day

As for fishing a CaptBill, I am sure I have in the past :)

he doesn't fish. :biglaugh:

Those plugs are too expensive to throw in the water.

I made a copy of the eely style plug, got hold of an original, thanks to VB. Has a big lip for such a skinny plug, pretty much an A 40 lip. It swims really good and I have fished it several times. If you have interest I can get you the specs and look at the lip locations.

Paul-

that would be great ... I would like to make the capt bill little eel plug. On another topic where can I get some thin SS to make hand carve blades and try to make the diving plane for a copy of the Capt Bill diving plug that looks like a small pikie
