Nah, it's the style plug I posted a thread on under the title "loaded for cow". The original was apparently by Cotton Cordell and called a blue-striper. The name "lazyfish" comes from Canalman who made something similar a year or two before I tried it (as I've since found out). It describes the action very well. The original is an excellent subsurface swimmer with a slow needlefish/littleneck popper type swimming action that also has a bit of the slow roll that looks so tempting in flat plugs. They're heavy with alot of weight both sides of the hook. I've never fished one, and I'm not sure I've yet got it right, but if I can reduplicate the original's action then I think I'll have the widebodied equivalent of a needlefish, and I like that idea........ alot.
P.S. "numbskull" fits fine.
