Thanks guys...I guess this was more of the conversation I was looking for. Pictures always help I guess.
I've caught hundreds of fish on the "howdy" type design. Long, thin, lots of tail weight. I guess with this one I was going for a bit more for a traditional spook. Maybe tail down 10-20 degrees and sit more horizontal. As numbskull said, I think loading the tail with too much weight wouldn't work with this shape. I'll take a couple more pics with them in the water.
Tagger...I don't have a jigman spook or a jigsmith to compare. So I'm just going on what you guys tell me.
Jigman...I'll turn one more and move the weight closer to the belly hook. Belly hook placement is just a starting point too.
Bigfish...Didn't realize the blitzseeker was weighted that way. Neat idea.
The hardest part is that its fun to try some new designs in the winter, but then testing them is impossible when everything around you is frozen!
