Well.. I just came in form swimming the peanut bunker plug and well... have you ever thought of an idea, made some felonious calculations (knowing that many more prototypes lie ahead), built it and had it do exactly what you wanted? I never had until today. I hatched this idea last winter after watching a Mike Laptew tape.. many of you have probably seen it. The segment that this idea came from was the fluke footage. A fluke hugging the bottom attacking baitfish while they lazily swam around. I wanted to make a plug looked like a fish in it's natural habitat. The plug sinks very slowly wobbling while it sinks. When lifted it darts and wobbles upward, when you jerk the rod tip it darts from side to side and on a painfully slow retrieve comes in in a slow darting zig zag. The plug is made of mahogany and is a real chore to build but guess where I'm headed now?
