Does anyone make dannys into eelskin plugs.
Looks like all it would take is a file or dremel to make a groove around the plug. I see a few plug makers are selling eel skin plugs. Doesnt look like there is any trick to it. What would be the best sealer to use on the groove?

Don't waste a danny. An old styrofoam Atom Jr is cheaper and will swim better (bigger lip). I do file a groove, find it easier than sewing around the lip. I like twisted 30lb trolling wire to tie the skin on. If you want a big plug, the plastic A40 is the way to go.

How does an A40 float? Half out of the water or 1/4 out?

I have both bm danny and atom jr. with skins I also like using a groove and use dental floss and decron to tie them down I only sealed one of them w/ a rod building epoxy as that was all I had on hand.I don't think I needed to seal it as my atom never resealed has not shown signs of water log.I like using the atom more often yet I like the danny too (at lest before losing it on my trip to cutty).
