atom poppers

Hey canal rat, The important thing with the Atoms is the boyancy. The way they slow sink and set in the water and then come up and pop is part of what makes them work so good. the shape of the cup also makes a great difference on them . you will have to find a wood that will give you the balance. stan Gibb tried a long time ago and gave up as the styrofoam that the plugs were injection molded with had a weird density to it making it work the way it did. Bob spent a lot of time tweakin his plugs and they had subtle changes in them from time to time. you should see some of the oddball stuff we tried and that he came up with. Ron
