Floyd Roman Dart n' Dart
Chef Chris lent me a beater dart n' dart so I have made 3 copies... 1 in mahogany, 1 in yellow birch, and one in AYC. I weighted them all to float just like the original.

I have yet to epoxy coat them and swim them.

Cool plug... 2 line ties... lower to dart on the surface and the upper to dart subsurface.

Original was all screw eye construction... I used thru wire and one screw eye for the other line tie position.


lots of angles to get right on this baby...
