I know if you look in a SS bottle or sinking popper the weight is behind the front hook.

had good luck with bottle darters .. fattys and Larry Welcome type .. I used hard maple and weighted just back of belly hook like 1/2",,, darted well on moderate retrieve and even did a little swim wiggle on slow retrieve..Once I weighted a pikie around the thru wire up front like they did .. Rolled like a bastard .. I never made a bottle plug .. Have a Gibbs that rolls out imediately on retrieve . I think Larry Welcome uses something lighter ... maybe Larry will chime in and tell us .. he does look in once and a while .

I hope to have a partial "unveiling" this weekend on what is being and been built for the '07 season. Course a couple are top secret till the plugfest as I am torn as to which of several will be entered. I rather like having that dilemma for once. I know I will get smoked by a handcarve but the most fun is the anticipation of what we will be up against.

Pics this weekend of a few Fred.

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