the smurfster swims nicely.
its has a nice wiggle that is pretty wide when you crank slow, then it tightens up when you go faster. it runs about 1-2ft. it has just the right ammoutn of roll. i think next time im going to change weight placement to mid body . the weight in this one is in the nose. its gunna get blasted.

the darter, when being pulled in straight without any help from me with the rod has a little roll and darts somewhat from side to side. but if i give it 4" jerks with the rod tip i can make it basically walk the dog underwater. it digs bout 3 ft and after you jerk it, it suspends for a couple seconds. its a jerkbait basically. it will work, no doubt.

o yeah we got the engine running too a good day.
