Yes AYC. Yes GOO GOO eyes. Hopefully pictures of fish caught with them.

Should I add more weight?

a big slug in the tail, so it bombs out there.

cool idea for the eyes :devil2:

Ball rasp in a drill press after I cut the angle.

Cool look. Did some goo goo poppers a while back for some friends. Unfortunately I never kept one for myself. I'll just have to build some more. Made those from pine though. Good luck with them.

They look real good. Tip; Don't make the face angle too steep it will cause the plug to rise in the water and not throw as much water. The way to weight a steep face angle is to get it slightly tail down so the face hits the water when you "chug" it.
I like the double eye up top like that.

very nice work

Beautiful! Let us know the results when they fish!

Now my self esteem lowers further on not being able to even turn a damn needle proper...
