Pretty sure it's weighted in the pooper, it's tail heavy. I'm guessing it swims like a bottle plug. Both original and clone are going swimming
Don't worry Tagger, you'll get one

FLOYD ROMAN lures were made with screw eyes and wire tru
If your having issues with the wire
90% of mine are screw eyes
I would guess the screw eyes are early,,, late 30's early 40's

Talking

While working today and thinking about those plugs, it occured to me that I hadn't asked what kind of wood. It would(wood?) make a difference. Thanks Tagger. Any pic of your work could never mess up a thread. Never.
