These are 1.5" at largest dia. and the larger ones like Eddie makes are 1.75" at largest dia. I am pretty sure I gave all the specs on the size I make last year in a Nike thread as Lawrence, BF, was making some. Do a search for it. If not I can give it to you again. Personally I have thought about a jointed one but never got around to it. I am not a big fan of jointed plugs so I guess that had something to do with it. It is a real good plug and kind of between a darter and a swimmer action. Good luck. Show your work please.

wow those are really nice...i suck at thru wiring so im probably going to use screw eyes. i always miss drill and when i make the end loops on the tail they look like poo. ive tryed several times and i just cant get the thru wire to look good or swim good. they have dowels up to 2 inch i believe in poplar at lowes. its a light wood and i have had good luck with it due to how light it is. ive tryed pine and some swim some dont. ive been busy with work so in the next couple weeks ill get some wood turning hopefully. ive got the general idea down so ill make my own size and see what happens...ill prob be pulling my hair out as usual haha
