Darters..

I think I'll be making these for a while,, pretty challenging and I'd like to come up with my own prophile .. bottom three I made.. very bottom i call littlefatbastadge.. Cast a mile,, darts better than anything i've seen .. rolls out in real heavy current (cape cod canal ripping)...needs another tug to get it going again . I think the action is so sick it messes itself up ...still needs work. tweak some angles...Third one down is Ifshvermont clone.. should be called "canal darter" .. Will not roll out ,,no way , heaviest rip .. A little tug and its gone,, hugs the bottom until its at your feet ...nice zig zag going on . I think the fish are going to love it .. it will be right in thier face ,,.

Aquamarine epoxy.. loop is imbedded in it .My loops are kinda big ,,I gotta keep them small ,,less chance of them distorting under the strain of casting and hopefully fish ..An elongated loop could change the action of the plug ..
