The first time I saw it at the plug building party I said I have to make one of those
so I did.
I borrowed the original from Steve Shiraka and copied it almost exact, but I used titanium for the fins. Near as I can tell it's some kinda homemade canal plug. I think someone took a Gibbs casting popper/swimmer and modified it extremely. The back tailfin has a hole in the bottom part to snap a line to it and then 18" or os of mono goes down to a 1/2 oz or so bucktail jig.
Steve can't wait to see this thing swim. He won't toss his as it's the only one he has and someone along the canal one day way back when gave it to him. We believe that when the herring are around, the plug will catch. The hooks will release from their point on the sides as a fish get's hooked and will be able to swing freely.
MikeP, have you ever seen anything like this?
