As for the dimensions they are like the frech articles only diffrence i see in the one george made (George you are soooooo close on this its amazing)and the frech one is that George went to the smaller width he should go with the wider one on top also the back belly hook should go back another 1/2 inch or so i'll measure it exact tommorow with a vernier caliper.As for the float test he nailed it floated the same.I'll look at them again tommorow and see if i can pick up anything else i'll also do a weight comparison.

BINGO! I can't tell you how much this helps me, Lu. Thanks. I think my plug will be about 1/2 oz less, it has less wood and less lead. Could you also either post a picture of the original's nose, or check that I've got the line tie at the right height. Oh boy, am I happy. I'll have to send you a plug, you can have the one I was saving for Tagger.  |

Can I have the next one
you were going to give to Tagger 
I love how this lure just sits so its flat top is barely peaking out of the surface...it must be a killer in clean quiet water... twitch and glide twitch and glide 
You guys amaze me on a regular basis  |
Good health and family

You're THE MAN, Lu. Back to the bandsaw tonight for round three. A little fatter and rounder face, a little more nose slope, a little further between hooks, a little lower line tie, ................. and somewhere Mr. Frech will be smiling. Thanks much.
