Go with yellow back/white belly, if you've got to pick one. Also, you might find these plugs a bit heavy to cast from a kayak, on the end of a rod they have some heft. |

That looks like a giant Donny Musso swimmer! Cool!
Was wondering the same thing about the wood... Musso used several different kinds from what I've been able to gather, depending on whether he wanted surfwce or subsurface.
Was throwing 3 ounces from the yak last year. Don't haver to toss far cuase you can get so close :-)

The lighter the wood the easier it is to get it to swim.Of course it also means it's not as dense or durable.Pine is a good choice.red cedar is lighter.It's easy to work from a light base piece u can always add weight.U have to make sacrifices to remove wieght.I think the musso pinchney/Beachmaster clan used some kinda pine. I also got some Smaller 6" Danny's that he must've made out of maple.Obviously made for special ops fishing.Turn one in the mahogony an save it fot the big water.I have found that some of the ayc goes heavier (sap wood) i save these for when I want something heavier.Bassmaster like to use ayc for his danny's the six inch models went close to 3 once but still swam pissa.He exaggerated the girth in the middle of the plug to make it bouyant.He taught me alot about metal lips.Without tellin me anything.we learned together but I learned just from lookin at all his creations. I miss him he was the man.

Bassmaster
He was good to me as I got started in this a few falls ago. Traded some wonderful emails full of advice, helpful hints, encouragement and support! Never have had the chance to turn a plugs or fish with him. Hope to some day... BM,if you're out there, PM me. I got a plug for you :-)
