Next is Bugzilla II... Some of you may remember the original Propzilla I had at plugfest last year.... I never was happy with the tail action, so I widend the middle, redistributed the weight and shortend the tail... the results are exactly what I was looking for, in lue of the prop I went with a pair of #4 spinner blade "legs" this thing kicks up quite a fuss, I plan of trolling it for SBFT, but wont be oppsed to trolling the surf break at dawn with it either, she weighs just over 5 ounces and is 12" long...

Below is a Tagger inspired skin plug, I remembered Taggers experiment while digging around a bucket and finding an old eel "whistle" I had long forgottten about... the hook hanger/line pull is secured in the belly via a 1"#4 SS screw, the plug is drilled clean through on center with a 3/16 drill bit and the face chamfered to help inflate the skin....

Those swimmers with the brown striping are just insane! Man that is so classic looking. Man those two are the best yet.

I wish I could be productive like that.

Awesome job!
