one was better than 2... the white one does not roll out but the darting action is spastic,,rolly,,kinda thing .. I think the plane area is too big .. The yellow one is #3.. less plane area .. totally sealed ... hangers ..I haven't swam it yet if it sucs .. you'll be seeing #4

I'm lovin how you're not going all area 51 and sharing as you experiment Tagger Nice stuff, Curious to hear how they handle, you and Newelly/Mac/Dave have some pretty tough darter standards Thats a good thing

Domination takes full concentration..

Tagger,

How are you sealing the rear and belly hook holes? Epoxy? Just curious.

Very nice work Tagger. Is that your own shape on the yellow? Never saw a tail like that., but then again, i'm still wet behind the ears when it comes to Dat ahs.

Tested today ... cast great .. darts silly .. nice darting action at random retrieve with no current (beach).. I think I could still tweak a little off the plane area .. Cast like a bullet .. no wobble .. I'd try it in front of fish if I could find them ..

you need to mount your bench sander on the back of your truck, bring it down to the beach and make on-the-fly mods until it is just right.
