There's a lot of ways to modify this plug, such as adding lead to back end of the front section(Numby's tip), which levels the plug out in the water, or changing lips.

I tried for the inverted "V" on these plugs to facilitate a lot of action on a low speed retrieve. Guys who used to fish the back would tweak their giant pikies this way and would tell me to "Get the body joint out of the water and file the tail section down" so that's what I tried to do with these two prototypes.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
