Try flattening the bottoms. They swim alot better in the canal that way, they get up on plane faster in the strong current. Nice and big I like alot. Cant wait to get mine. Tell Matt I said hi.
Ed that big blue/white spook you gave me got me started on building bigger stuff. I was almost afraid to throw it but did and it got eaten on the first cast. I've got a few big pencils and a mongo spook in primer now that I hope to get some paint on soon. Thanks and nice looking stuff.
