Floyd Roman skindiver

Anybody have some info on the Floyd Roman skindiver.
Has anybody made one?
How do they swim?
I have one that is in good shape, but I dont want dunk it to see how it swims.
Looks like a real interesting plug. I know it is a deep diver and heavy for it's size. Made for a skin.
thanks in advance.

Don't they need a certain amount of sex appeal to sell well?
That one is kinda flat chested, does'nt mean it won't be great for the intended purpose though.

Floyd Roman skin diver

Just came from the dock near here. I swam the original skin diver.
I was not impressed enough to want to reproduce it. It had a very subdued darting action and I would be afraid if you put a skin on it the action would be totally destroyed.
Thanks for all your help
