thanks for the feedback guys!
when i go to the shop on monday i'll try to smash the thing appart to see how strong it is. i also made one without the fiber matt inside to test.
the nice one in the pic is an older plug , all i did was just paint it.
as far as the weight of the original it's about the same, but the original has extra weight in the chin, so i'll have to incorparate about two ounces in the chin of the plug. maybe a little more weight will help it dive deeper witch is not a problem for me.
thanks for the tip of making a jig with nails to bend the wire! i was wondering how i was going to get the wire in the same place on every plug.
i want this to be very strong as it will be the little brother of the ones i trully intend to make.{about 10-12 inches} the wire in the original is very strong, i couldn't even cut it with a big pair of snap-on dykes,i had to use small bolt cutters.
when i get one wired i'll take a comealong to it and try to rip it apart.
and when i find the combo i like, i'll take it down to the river and see how she swims.
and then start the production.
the new plugs sell for upwards of 60 bucks, and this should keep me out of trouble for a while
