Booger sized Danny..

they are actualy trollers, I made these for a friend to fish for tuna, I did make a few top water models, but they must be fished too slow for tuna... the deep runners are perfect at 4-5 Knots..( they already have caught rooster fish with them in Mexico)Body is birch and weighted to near nuetral boyancy, Powered by Salty's gorrila lip, and wired with 1/8 hard 304 ( wrapped at the nose loop for added strength) the 5/0 VMC hooks are hung on 800lb Kroc swivels and a 7/0 VMC brings up the rear...the plug is 10" and weighs just about 8 ounces..

also are some 7" Pinkney style sand eels, powered by the Left top slot, I did well under a bright September full moon with the gold/white ones... and caught quitre a few fish with the striped one day break when the bass were bashing spike Macks...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
