Labrador 1 gave me a Big eyed little swimmer this Summer and I was smitten. Tagger's off center turning caught my attention, too. The Cyclops is a dying bait, there's an eye on the bottom, I think Christian show that to us. Yep I've stolen from everybody. Uhh ,Thanks?

Thumbs up Jake's

Fred you do beautiful work. How are you making those pot bellies? They look very realistic. I'm guessing you turn round and then sand off the tops. (or is there another technique) I also like the dead baits they have to be deadly in a blitz.

Jake U get the "really cool" instead of Nice NIB comment.Cool paint an nice colors are u mixin ur own?That off center turning is cool stuff I did some cutty poppers like that an made em like giant Rebel pop-R's .something to try if u want.I put all my protective gear on for that techniqe.Do u weigh the wounded bait plug on the side.I made a mistake drillin the lead an hooks on a plug an made the holes off center an I put it together anyways, it makes the plug lean at rest which is cool.not shure how much more up the body u could go before it rendered the action useless.give it a try I haven't finished the leaner yet so i can't tell ya how it produces.
