Still designing... Was gonna do a 2 oz deep darter, but I don't have any fast water within drving distance to test it. It works fine in flat water, dives down and runs like a drunken sailor at about 8-10 feet, but it will pop out occassionally at a fast retrieve, so it still needs tweaking. I'll probably turn out a tried 'n true popper design I worked on all summer... slightly under 2 oz... the way I saw some of you canal casters slinging lead in the Ditch, this thing outta be outlawed in your arsenal... even in a headwind, it flies like a small rocket at takeoff. Blue over silver OK?

I am not a maker just a drooler of all your fine work. Let me suggest that instead of a raffle that an auction take place for the site for the collection. AND that you guys each put your small signiture on the belly of the plug to be auctioned. This would make it quite unique as a collectable and bring the most $ for an auction. I myself would push the fiscal limits for a complete collection of all your work.
Just a suggestion.

That will be up to John. He can do with them as he sees fit. Personally I think they would fare better if auctioned seperately.
