Yes there is a Gary2 influence in the plug. How could there not be? Though I never copied or asked Gary how he did it I am in awe of the man's talent. Once you attempt building them your appeciation of Gary's talent or anyone else that has tackled this type of plug raises even higher. Though there are major differences in weight, through wiring and material used.
But I did not use his sidekick as a model. Instead I used a bombers form and worked from there, This is a third or fourth series of attempts that I have tried to work on and each time major changes have occurred, I see more changes coming on my next batch.
Each early model had draw backs, they swam, but I was no where near the two ounce form I wanted, nor the ability for them to stay on surface as much as possible. These make a huge shoulder wake on the surface which is what I wanted.
The best part about building this type of lure was learning more about different tools that I normally would not use in plug building. If I get a chance today I will show some of the proto's I played with and what I changed to get the body to the design it's in now.
