The darter has very nice wiggle. I tried a heavier weighting than just "00" and while the lure still swam well, it wasn't as responsive, so the "00" wins. The last time I made these they were in maple. While Frech made them from maple, and in the 6 5/8 model in the canal they caught fish, I know that just about everyone makes thiers from ayc. Using the same layout, weighting, minus the forward hook placement, using only one belly hook, I love how this ayc darter swims.
