Big Darter, round 2
Gave this one a try, Upsized one of George's Pichney darters to 8.5" in AYC. Weighed out at just under 4 oz. Gave it a swim yesterday and not too bad,did not roll out but went deep. Going to try again with a little weight just forward of rear belly hook and see how that works.

Love that Sgt.........I just made some Pickney's from a sample provided by PM. My master isn't quite what I would like, but after turning sanding brings it all together. Like your longer dartah. May make one similar.

That thing is nasty.
How does it float?
Slightly tail down with the plane level and a bit above the water is a good place to start.
Moving the line tie forward (although where you have it looks good to me) and lower also helps reduce the dig a bit.

Been waiting to see some Darters from you Paul. George it sits level, noses down on retrieve and goes to about 4-5'. Figured about .5 oz. in front of rear belly hook might give it more swing.

Finished testing and added some weight, works better now. Painted one along with some other stuff that was laying around.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

4.25 oz. a little too big for Paul to handle. The weight added got it to float with the plane level and worked out great, Thanks G |

Got a question for those who make good darters. I 'm a darter user. got loads of them. A couple of you are wizards at it.Could one of you teach some that produce them how important it is to center the eye and it;s placement for the darters to swim right.I sent several back this winter as the eye was either too for back or from side to side-right or left so the darter would just keep spinning or track sideways till it hung up in the rocks. Georgr n Paul make some sweet stuff an got it down. I'm looking at 2 right now that I got at the show that the eyes are 0ver 1/8 inch apart. Nice lookin paint job but the eyes are gonna cauce an issue.
