This is a length that Dave( Canalman ) used. The nose 3/4, lrg dia. 1" @3" back w/9/16 tail. hook holes 1.125" & 3.375" back. Weight 1/8 oz. @ 2.50"back. The weight of components of a plug this diameter seems to be very critical to obtaining the desired action. I ground down a Lefty 1 mid to specs of .750 dia. w/.500 lip extention. I heated the previous sealed pine bodies and was able to remove appro. 3-4 grams. They now weigh around 28 grams w/o hardware. Red cedar sealed 22 grams. I ordered supplies along with some .05 pikie lips which was another reccommended lip for this plug. Another session should finally
uncover this mystery. Thanks guys for yor help and suggestions. Keep them coming.
