Floating Needles- Inspired by Bassmaster

Having had some luck with a BM floater at a breachway I read up on floaters, BM's in particular, and decided to turn some out of AYC.

All are pretty similar in shape, with some being 8" and some being 9". All have 2 slugs in the belly along with differing amounts of tail lead to get the attitudes to vary.

Test swam them in the river and like the action, especially of the ones that float near vertical. Those ride nose out of the water with a serious wake at the tail- almost like a roostertail. The ones that float closer to level have less action than the tail draggers, but they are very easily moved around by the current.

Input appreciated.
