These are not the long slim ones like I gave you, these are copies of a real Musso plug. They are similar in length and width to a medium Pichney danny, but with a smaller tail, convex rather than concave profile to the tail, and a larger lip with a higher line tie. Turns out the high slot lefty lip should really be called a donny lip......it is identical to the lip on the original Musso plug I borrowed from Flap. Whalie's plug uses a hybrid danny/lefty lip instead, and swims great. The big beachmasters that Sea Dangles makes reference to seem to be a copy of the larger Musso swimmer. A large pike lip with a lower drilled hole is the same for that plug. Been thinking of those as well. These are hydro-oriented in your honor , Eddy. Feel guilty if I don't do that now. That long danny I gave you WILL roll, but the fish (including several near #30) crushed the prototype last fall and it was lime green. Goes to show how important roll is. Just fish it slow.
