Steelhead go to page 45 on the Some Plugs thread link and check out the Warbels Swimmer. Pretty close.

Why even try.........

Thanks Guys. Beginning to get the hang of it...
I've been wondering about the lip placement etc. for a bit and that picture of the Warbel Swimmer got me thinking again. Many of the old plugs have a lip that sits well in front of the body of the plug. Was there a reson for that?
