Lefty Clones
Borrowed a real Lefty from a friend and decided to make a few since we here in New England have virtually no access to these. I used a slightly smaller lip so down sized the plug body accordingly. 2 green ones and the original will be going to NJ later in the week.

Thanks for the compliments. The plug on the right is the original. Leftys are sold in NJ at the Berkley Striper Club and Asbury Park fishermans flea markets. The line at the door is split up sometimes, 1 line for general admission and one line for Leftys. I hear some years he gives out tickets and always sells out. This size is done in small quantities each year. So like I said we have no access to them at all without going to NJ. Plus they are 35 bux down there if ya can find them. So I built a few to see what all the fuss is about. Guys down in NJ and NY go nuts over his plugs. The hangers are a PIA.

Last spring Lefty sold out 350 plugs in 45 min. People go nuts for these. They get in line way early in the morning and get a number that will allow them to buy 4 plugs only.

How do they swim?
Sub surface? How does the Lefty move in the saltwater?
Thank you!

Eben, I have a few of the Cannon Lures, which are the Lefty knockoffs, and $20 at that. Not really something worth having for New England waters, IMO.
Almost all the southern state plugs are a light cedar, which Im not fond of for fishing our waters |

Yeah, but on a calm windless night, one of those chucked over a bolderfield would be deadly... Especially at this one place that we call $#@$^@#^$#@  I might have to make some  |
