Last Plug Run

Been working on blending and working with some candies, also looking for a way to improve my finish. I just took these off the spinner.

Thanks for the darter body Lou!

do the polaris' float? I have some poppers that T.O. made a while back that have the same profile and they smoke fish in the canal. No retrieve needed -just swing 'em in the current and POP. Looks like these would do the trick as well. Nice work...

Hey Bart,
They do float, I am going to make a sinking version and try to keep it around the 3 OZ range these are.

These are really easy to work, little to no effort to pop, and they toss water nice with a nice little wiggle.
