Goo Goo Eye Plugs

Anyone have any good pictures of an actual Goo Goo Eye smimming plug. Dimensions would be great too.

I will see what I can dig up. I have a few. Lost some of my pics a while ago, but I have some time this week and will try to snap a few.

Fun plug to build, I've made a bunch myself.

The basic swimmers came in 8" 6" and 4". The 6 and 8" plugs were the same diameter about 1 1/2" I think and the 4" swimmer was about an inch with a smaller lip.

Thanks, in addition to the dimensions, I need to see where the lip and wire hole are located and a good pic would be great. Any idea about the total weight? If you you don't know, no worries, the pic is a big help alone.

The big daddy is 8" and 1.25 in diameter. Weight is approx 3 oz. The husky dude 6" is the same diam and 2 1/4 oz. The mini is 1" and about 1 oz. The pic below of the lip is of a 8" big daddy. The 2 small swimmers are another swimming style of some real old ones I thought I would throw in. The other pic is some husky dudes.

I think they were all made out of pine. Originals all had screw eyes.

Please post some pics of what you come up with.

Come to plugfest and you can check some of these out. I plan on bringing 50 to 100 of them with me.

One more...

Here is one more pic of the big daddys.

Somewhere I may have posted a pic of them all in my display case.
If you try the search you will find some pics of mine and a whole bunch of others. Some of the guys on here have made some beautiful reproductions.

Good luck.

Thanks for the great info. Looks like the wire hole is just about center or maybe just a tad lower. I am thinking of building a prototype which is 9" long, 1-1/2" dia. and 3-1/2 oz. I am not the fastest builder but I will post a pic as soon as its done.

Thanks Again!

P.S. Yes I should be at the Plug-fest if all goes well.
