What's a peep? What I am looking for is the scale fabric....
While sniffing aroud the net I found this ...http://www.taxidermy.com/cat/09/maczscaler.html
but I am not 100% sure how well it will work on plugs...I may want to try though


Raven: I don't think bass can "scan" a baitfish with their lateral line. To do that they would need an "active" type of sonar and send a "ping" or a "click" thru the fish. As I understand it, the lat. line is a passive set of nerve endings that can pick up vibrations in the water, not ping. That said, it is sensitive as I know that "blinded" fish have been able to track down prey using it.
