borrowed a classic shape for these ones
The original is one of my dads old 40's. When I started to really get into turning the first thing he asked me for was a tail weighted swimmer. He used to wrap solder around the tail of these to get them to do what he wanted.
These have 1" of lead in the tail and some under the chin. They sit almost vertically but once they get in current they do their thing...Boy will these fill a niche in the bag. I am planning to fish thee a lot so made 1 of all the colors I like. 5 1/2" and right at 2.5 oz.
Here's the original blue swirl and a couple of copies, and the 3 night colors that we always carry. Nice dent in the pearl one. Gotta drop one out of every batch, its like a rule.
