...Next version 1 hook 3" back. Plug is 7" long. Added a medium salty surfster round lip. Swam w/action on top and gave nice movement lowering rod tip and pickup the speed. It is AYC. I will try pine or cedar for a strictly top water. Would this version swim at a crawl?
...One conclusion, casts like a wet paper plate. Yes, unfortunately. I'm primarily thinking of using this deep in the estuary of a herring run -- maximum width of the river here is about 60'.
