Deadens the action quite a bit, but makes the plug more fishable from shore. You can feel it bump the bottom and vibrate a little in the backwash.........I've only fished them at night but they must look pretty natural to bass grubbing on sandeels.

BTW, cool calender you've got this year. Just ordered several and the DVD. Ariel photos of the places you fish are incredibly useful.

Glad you like the photos thanks for the feedback. They will get better in future seasons. I plan to have them out eariler in 08 and will have a fly over video on next years. Also, this year I have some nice goodies on the Disk, ie some hi-res bottom mappint of Quicks hole.

Getting back to the topic, I switched to this plug because it is MUCH better built then that POS fasttrac that others rave about. From the boat the sliver tolls better at higher speed and bones and albies love it. Also it can stand up to real abuse which the others can not.

That said, I have never fished it from the shore. After seeing your post I will give it a go this year though and it looks like a good winter project to mod a few of them.

Again thanks.
Jim
