No ... just got done Floyd Roman Nike studies... knocked off cowboys a while ago ..
Cowboy = 2 belly weight , metal lip , slope head , fatboy swimmer..

Floyd Roman Nike = arse weight ,, wood slant head ,,fatboy almost sub surface bottle darter action .. I'm told .. Haven't swam mine yet so study is not complete ..
One thing they do have in common you need 2" stock to make either one ..
Steve ,,you feelin ok ?

Would it be a Italian Stallion Rider, Western Missile, Or just be a plug you can't get rid of?

cowboy looks more like a shorter stouter gibbs GTS plug to me.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
