can't blame a guy for trying. If he does decide to sell it I am interested. The 20 bux and a Gibbs thing was just a joke.

Thats ok Mac I'll tell him but dont hold your breath. Been trying to get him to sign on for sometime but he's like me gentle nudging dont work. He needs

I'd like to see an x-ray. My guess is there are swivels at the end of the wire inside attached to the through pin cause its not really through wired. So that being said the front loop swivels as do the belly and tail hook but you cant see a swivel. Pretty cool. Something different.

the popper for the info. ...........swivel in the stern has a small wire that connect's to the pin/ swivel in the belly and the one in the bow are both have the small wire too,connected to the pin just behind eye,,swivels were to short so they twisted up the wire to get the leight they needed to reach said pin's...talk about a hair puller to put together...I only put together a few because of it.

BOAT fish do count.

I was building this thing in my head and came to the conclusion you have got to be precise with wire lenght/twisting etc. Still interesting though.
Thanks CS.
On another note. I cannot beleive how helpful and eager you are to share with us you years of knowledge so we may all enjoy plug building and all the old plug history so it may not be forgotten and we neophites can learn a little something from those that have already invented the "WHEEL".
