Theres a 9 inchn the making,also I will talk to Al about the hook placements, we expermenting with them a little bit about a month ago, those needles sink vertically while staying perfectly horizontal, they waggle really nice too, they stuby will be a killer when fished like a pencil at daybreak for sure..

I think the hooks are too far back on the belly. I usually like my needles to sink slowly with the but slightly down on an angle. Once you retrieve, the needle will come level. If you watch struggling baitfish they tend to have their nose up.
Waggle is good.
Will there be any at the RI show for sale? not that I need any more plugs |

They seem ok. Look like your standard solid plug thru wired with decent hardware. Finish quality is good. We'll see how they swim sink and cast in a couple months...

Just curious, but what is the thought behind the brown one with the yellow butt? Extra work to do it so I thought there must have been a reason?  |
