Eben, those are nice.

Just curious, did you have a problem with the rosco swivels ? I've bent the vmc 3x's but the swivel held ??

I have bent them and I have noticed that they corrode after time.

The Crock's are stainless. when you have a stainless throughwire, and then attach all kinds of different metals to it (swivel, galvanized tail hooks, split rings) you will get electrolosis which causes the corrosion.
In a perfect world i would use stainless hooks on the tail too, but i cant afford them at this point.

I was thinking about trying this stuff on siwash hooks with bucktail to prevent rust. May be a cheaper alternative to SS hooks. Don't know how well it works but its from a reputable manufacturer.

interesting concept....but I don't agree with any of it
unless you can prove to me that you can talk to fish and they tell you that eyes makes them woozy ...its hearsay.give me the most realistic copy of a baitfish ....I have not yet seen the one with no eyes swim around
as far as the colors scheme ... maybe,sometimes,occasionally ...basically ,like all other concept ...

beachmasters dont wobble... if your plug wobbles, you gotta paint it a solid color so there are no details to show the wobble..


another thing is that the bass are attacking the plug from below most of the time and probably dont see the eyes.

needlefish on the other hand really need eyes IMO>..

not really
I fish lots of needles
and blind ones catch too
I can see that when the bass are picky and there is not complete darkness. I never fish needles in the daytime unless I am on my boat in a certain harbor mimicking sandeels fished fast.
