Mambo
I just found some what look to be a couple Mambo minnows, but they have a white plastic screw plug up front. I would imagine that this was used to load the plug. Does anybody have any information on these, are they rare? I have never seen them before.

I can unscrew the plug and fill it with water to adjust the weight. It looks original.

I have the same thing in yellow. I bought it at Nelsons many moons ago. I believe it was a mambo. I put a few bb's in there and it has a nice rattle.

I think they loaded them with baby oil because it floats.

you might not want to use water to load those things...rusts inside the plug. i had a few loaded baby mambos that aall turned brown inside. the oil is a better idea.

Is there a tiny little pinhole somewhere. They could be loaded with bunker oil. A tiny pinhole will allow it to ooze out the scent.

Nice.
Instead of using baby oil, head out to Wally World and get some mineral oil. It's the same stuff as baby oil minus the scent. You'll find it in the aisle where the laxatives are.
I prefer bunker oil myself, but I don't always have it handy and it reeks pretty bad after a while indoors.

I would imagine it would increase your casting distance. Sounds like it would be fun to try. How would it effect the slow wiggle at night?

These could use the extra weight for my setup and liking.
If some has already modified and would like to let us know the results it would greatly be appreciated.
I will try it but it will be awhile
