$1000 master lure...
Just finished this one up last night. Only change will be a lefty 1 lip instead of the lefty 2 as the #2 seems create too much roll if you retrieve too fast. If you fish this thing painfully slow it works perfectly... After I added all the hardware it became a slow sinker, which is what I wanted. Still need some practice with the tail loops...maybe I'll watch one of you guys some time so I can figure out how to get mine rounder and tighter.
Again, Numby helped with the specs so some day I'll have to give him one of my kidneys or the like as payback...
Specs:
7" Birch body, which is actually an Atom 40 copy, but turned at a much smaller diameter than the big 40 and obviously jointed.
Lefty 1 or 2 mid slot depending on preference.
2/0 hooks and flag tail
2.25 oz total weight

looks great!
I still have one that I been meaning to dup for a while. I keep it in the box so it doesn't remind of another thing I said I was going to do.
I did swim it though.  |

$1000 plug. So your 2nd plug brought your "out the door" cost down by half? Your last plug was $2000. 
You must have a shat load of other plugs you're not posting.  |

The price is now coming down rapidly...I actually shaved, saw my family, and picked up three weeks worth of mail today...
I'm going to pull this plug apart and try re-wiring it with Rock's method so as to hide the big tail loop on the middle of the body.
Got a buch more finished this weekend. |

Be careful not to get it too tight. Jointed plugs cast better (quite well in fact) when they can bend 90 degrees in the air.

After looking at the completed plug I decided not to mess with it. Other issue is my through holes are 5/32, but the nose hole is 1/8, thus the doubled wire is very difficult to get through, so I'm going to stick with the traditonal tail loop until I do some bigger jointeds. |
