WHAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS WINTER

[Swimmer]

Top pic is a 6 5/8 inch Frech darter, one of which is heading your way John. Second is a slightly larger than usual surfster that has a really tight, hardly any roll swim to it. Third is a fatboy surfster that again has a great tight swim pattern.

Nice looking swimmers. How does your Frech darter swim? Were you saved from Darter Hell?

The darter has very nice wiggle. I tried a heavier weighting than just "00" and while the lure still swam well, it wasn't as responsive, so the "00" wins. The last time I made these they were in maple. While Frech made them from maple, and in the 6 5/8 model in the canal they caught fish, I know that just about everyone makes thiers from ayc. Using the same layout, weighting, minus the forward hook placement, using only one belly hook, I love how this ayc darter swims.
