Thanks to Billy (wrikerjr) for sending me a 2.25 oz original.
Thanks to Mr Musso for his genius. Very impressive swimmer (particularly at slow speed). Learned a ton trying to copy it. Once I had the medium it was easy to get the larger version to work, and the bottle darter was a simple step from there.

George,

Very impressive. Its not an easy build, you have alot of skill.

Kindest,
Billy

Nice work!!!!
I like the yellow darter looking one. Also they look like they would cast a mile!

WoodyCT 03-15-2010 07:23 PM

Very very nice
 
Those look great George, and I'm sure they swim even better.

the blue one is crazy

Fantastic work George. Painstakingly copied and success. What Musso model was that? Never saw a lipless Musso. Seen a Lex version though.

Awesome stuff Numby.

Sweet! Interesting with the low line tie...Is it strictly a surface swimmer or will it get down at all? I would be very curious to see what the action is like.

Very well done.

Mr. Sandman 03-16-2010 01:49 PM

I made a mold out of that design last season...and cranked out a few in plastic....the plug worked great. I like the lip less design more of an S shape swim action then a Z and it swam well in hard currents too.

Honest to God on my very first test cast with that plug got me a 30#er last season (sad to say it was one of the biggest fish of the year for me:confused: last season)

I got rid of the first hook just left the belly and tail though

I ass-ume your talking about the yellow pred head type swimmer Numby's shown with 2 belly hooks ,, not the Lipless swimer with the single belly .. ,, (sure miss my calender)

Karl F 03-16-2010 06:22 PM

First Rate work numby, very well done.
