Nice Guzz! Very nice. The last picture with the green plug over the purple one. Could you post a pic of the front of that green one with the metal faceplate/lip? Man, that thing is way cool! Thanks in advance , Flap.

Why even try.........

thanks for the kind words guys.always good to hear those kind of things from experienced plug builders.thank you.

sorry for the losuy quality of the pic.i can't seem to take clear close ups for some reason.but it should give you a decent view of the face plate.that plug is a proto.i originally was shooting for a metal lipped darter.but i ended up with something that falls between a swimmer,and a darter.at slower speeds,it has a moderate rear wiggle,and will wander slightly every few cranks.when reeled fast,or when put in a rip,it has a fast,tight wiggle and every so oftern kicks out to the side like a darter.it definitely doesn't take a predictable path on the retrieve.the one in the pic is a slow sinker.now if i can just duplicate that action in any size plug i want,i'll be be happy.it seems to have potenial though.that plug,along with a couple others will be in jigman's hands by mid week.he fixed me up with some pencils about a month back that did alot of damge so he'll be the one puting that one through the paces till i get a few more made up.
