Goo Goo
Any weight in these? Wood type? I will need to fabricate some of those eyes and that very thin stock material lip that screws onto the front of the plug. Any pictures of those eyes or the plug itself. I have one VB lent me, yes Peter I still got it, but the eyes are not in great shape. Thanks for the help. Paul

Somebody reissued these some years back. The big ones I have (which are not originals) weigh 4.56 oz. I suspect they are birch, since I can't see that they are weighted and they weigh too much to be pine at that size (and one of mine has cracked which pine doesn't usually do). I have a smaller original that I think is pine and weighs 2.4 oz. You're welcome to borrow one if you want.

Paul, I also think NJTackle sells the GooGoo lips so that may save you some work.
I checked out an original a couple months back and they didn't look like they had any weight in them......felt real light.

Paul,
Although it is a lot of work you could take a bead from a craft store, countersink the hole that is already in it, cut in half, and then use a brad for the center and you will have your two eyes.

Anyone made GooGoos out of Cedar? Thinking for the surf they would swim shallow on top?

I am making some out of AYC this week. Are you talking white or red instead. I would think any variety of wood would get you a surface swimmer. It is a big plug and plenty bouyant. P |
