The unicorn
I designed this plug with the mind to appeal to all the senses that a fish posses....
I call it the unicorn due to its lons sloped nose and the pull eye mounted in the tradition of the early CCBCO swimmers...
The body is 12" long and weighs 3 1/2 ounces, it is progressivly turned offcenter from front to rear giving it a realistic eel like shape, it is then off center drilled and fitted with a pikie #2 lip,the head is cut on a 20 degree slope, this "plane" stabilizes the side to side movemens while allowing a eelike swimming motion along the surface,the body has a cut for an eel skin a little over 2" back from the nose, both body portions are fitted with rattles to appeal to a fishes sense of "hearing" the fins on the side sport tiny strips of foam undernieth the bucktail, this is for my favorite liqiid attractant to appeal to the sense of smell... the top "horn" is cemented in place with marine grade 2 part epoxy, and serves as a line pull and to secure the metal swim lip... when used in the "unicorn" posistion, it swims simular to a darter and dives 4-6' depending on the speed of retrieve....
