the next batch
 

Here's a nekkid needle and a couple stubbies.
a few more small dannies-the largemouth's love them-big wake for a small plug

A couple going to Minnesota
 

These are going to a show in Minnesota. The big one is 8 1/2" of wood with a couple of chopper props on the end. The nose is cupped out. Throws a good splash up front and churns like crazy from the a$$ end. Sits tails down, sharp twiches with the rod tip can make it slash left then right.
The black spook bounces all over the place, when I was testing swimming it, I thought I had somehting batting at it from below, but it was just the action of the plug!

taht mark below the eye in the second picture is just an oddball reflection.

Does the bead chain interfere with the spinning blades? They look pizzzza.........:p

The beads actually creat some space beteen the end of the plug and the front prop, between the two props, and between the end prop and the tail wrap to allow the props to spin the way they should. The props spin freely and churn the water like crazy.
