Tagger I thought the same thing. You've really got to test some finished plugs and see what you've got.

I've been messing with darters a lot the past 2 months and every set I've made has been better than the previous set but I'm still not 'done' yet. Hopefully the last set I turned will be THE ones... I keep trying to make each side of the zig zag longer as mine had too much action and in current I think mine will go too fast resulting in lot of hits and misses...

Smart move starting with round blanks. 1/2 of the trouble I have is just turning the square stock into round stock thats the diameter I want. A little too wide or too thin and the action changes. They are the only plugs I make where I wish I was using a duplicator.
