Nice plug johnny hardware.
I have one similar to that u made just a tad larger.
Stop usin splitrings,cut the hooks.
the back split ring on the first plug is spread some already.If that rides up on the swivel u'll be cryin.
Why enviro I like the other finish.
No eyes on a danny.
Thank you.
Z wakin a plug on top can be achieved with many different styles. Just a matter of how u make em.
One Mans danny is another mans A-40.
With a little fine tinning he can tro that plug in a breachway.

Actually i use em in the opposite fashion the A Jr.s I have from a old BEach master run are on the heavy side an I like to tro em in the white stuff more than the flat water. the round nose aids the plugs action.IMO.Plus they go nice wit a skin on em.

HEY TONY BALLONY

the split ring that looks like it is opening was hung up on the swivil.. I put the hooks on about 15 seconds before i took those pics and didnt notice that i had a hanger..

I used E-tex because i have some left over from my pre sspraying days, but i blew up my air compressor.. threw out a bearing or something.. so i couldnt spray. man what a pain in the butt brushing that stuff on after you are used to spraying.

I went down to a ripping outflow yesterday to swim one in some moving water. In calm water it came in right on top with a big v-wake like a motor boat.. in the rip it came in about 4 inches under and still made a V-wake like a submarine.. Didnt pop out at all and the action is all wiggle, no rolling.

I really like this red cedar for swimmers, its nasty stuff to turn, but its so bouyant.. perfect for plugs you want to stay on the surface.

Sorry if I have a eagle eye.
Too bad bout the Kompressor.Welcome to the crap world of epoxy.
Instead of Val oil try heating a ready to prime blank up 10 mins at 200. an coat wit epoxy.pour in the holes an use a pipe cleaner to service the insides.Keep applyin til it don't soak no more.wipe off the excess an let dry then prime an paint.Makes a nearly indestructo plug.
I really like red cedar also for swimability.u can always weight to suit.
its soft so u gotta whatch what ur doin.I hurd basswood is very nice i got a good chunk I have to decide what to do wit it. good to see u goin full bore.Keep up the good work.Call me if u want me to send u my smilin bill molds.

The Ledgend Dave Manzi brought this to my attention a few yrs ago an I agree hole heartedly.a Danny's Inherrent action is a tantalizing slight sub surface snakelike movement.Incorperated in that movement is some roll.No good, better fish i believe are turned off by this.the way to off set it is to paint em in solid colors or make the blends from one color to the next soft.no hard two tones like dark blue to white.the other giveaway is eyes.them eyeballs rotating top to bottom make me dizzy.i love dannys an probably caught more fish on that style plug than any other wood.Without eyes.There's a beauty in it's simplicity.I'm convinced they (eyes) really don't matter.if i do use em on metal lips they will match the paint scheme an kinda blend in..Then again I do have a big one 3.75 onces light yello an white.wit big red eys.only gets play in big water.caught lots o fish but it get used differently.Kinda like a rest an retrieve thing.In my mind the red eyes on the yellow gives em a better target.So it all depends.On needles in the dark of night i like eyes.I usta put them plastic eyes on my gibbs needles yrs ago I liked the bump out.I have quite a few older ones witout eyes that have worked well in the past but get no play anymore.Go figure.
