The Ledgend Dave Manzi brought this to my attention a few yrs ago an I agree hole heartedly.a Danny's Inherrent action is a tantalizing slight sub surface snakelike movement.Incorperated in that movement is some roll.No good, better fish i believe are turned off by this.the way to off set it is to paint em in solid colors or make the blends from one color to the next soft.no hard two tones like dark blue to white.the other giveaway is eyes.them eyeballs rotating top to bottom make me dizzy.i love dannys an probably caught more fish on that style plug than any other wood.Without eyes.There's a beauty in it's simplicity.I'm convinced they (eyes) really don't matter.if i do use em on metal lips they will match the paint scheme an kinda blend in..Then again I do have a big one 3.75 onces light yello an white.wit big red eys.only gets play in big water.caught lots o fish but it get used differently.Kinda like a rest an retrieve thing.In my mind the red eyes on the yellow gives em a better target.So it all depends.On needles in the dark of night i like eyes.I usta put them plastic eyes on my gibbs needles yrs ago I liked the bump out.I have quite a few older ones witout eyes that have worked well in the past but get no play anymore.Go figure.
