Fin-s pencil poppa

I came up with this idea the other day...it should attract te bloos atleast..

I tested it over the weekend and it zig zags like crazy...I think I need to add a little bit more lead in the butt to counter the Fin-s tail..

Still a work in progress...just thought I'd post a new one up here...you guys are the ones who got me hooked into this...

I plan on doing a berkley power eel head (heavy but, skinny-skinny danny)over the winter too...not sure if its worth my time...maybe I should just stick with a wobble head? Ah...what the hell..its gonna be a long winter...

what do you guys think??

Try it with a needlefish too...casts poorly for a needle, but takes fish.

Now that's thinkin!
Good idea.
I have had some nights where pork rind added to a needle caught, and without it they wouldn't touch it.

I sometimes like to "tip" the arse of some plugs with a Ledgerunner Curlytail Grub. Depending on the size of the plug, I might trim it a bit on the body end.
