Jigman, That's a much better way of saying what I was trying to say... Certainly more humorous. I'm dealing wit too minny Grinches right now I guess... Cheers, Steelhead :-)

OK, let me try to explain my question...I wasn't trying to gain inside information as I realize Salty makes a living from his plugs. What I was trying to ask was is it a floating needle or a sinking needle and what the overall weight is, NOT how much lead is placed where. After re-reading your post, I see you said "As it came around and came up to the surface at the end of the swing", which answered my question. I took a look at what I had posted and can understand how some would think I was trying to "steal" (for lack of a better word) Salty's design, this was not my intention. I should have read your post more carefully, hope there aren't any ruffled feathers. If I did offend anyone, I apologise.

I agree, I was lucky enough to get 8 pieces of it the last time he was throwing out the stuff

Got no feathers to ruffle, even if I wanted to. :-) Salty's needle is a sinker. In calm water, you can contol the depth by the rate of retrieve. In heavy current, they tend to come up toward the surface wit a little wiggle to them.....
