Question Hey Slipkot

Slipknot,


You made the yellow plug for the swap. What style is that called
and how does it swim? I assume the metal tail flutters .
Its definetly different.



Thanks

Ya know, I had an extra one of those that I made and was going to give it to Capesams but well, you know

Like he said it is a Flaptail plug.
It is meant to swim on the surface and create alot of commotion to attract a fish to strike.

I never tried one before so I thought it would be good for others to try also. I modeled it after a Heddon Flaptail that I borrowed from a friend. Now I get to try one this season.

yep, they are different. Mostly you see them in Muskie fishing. I guess Tiger Muskies think they are food too.
