This was a fun batch.

I played arpound with the weighting a bit. This had some effect on whether and how much they roll (behind the hook= more roll). The belly grommets are recessed and there are two coats of epoxy (used a famowood product much like envirotex). I love the way the bunny hair moves in the water. I got it for some jigs I'll be tying up, but I thought I woul try it on some tail hooks as well.

The swimmers leave a large v wake when reeled real slow and drop down a foot or so when pulled faster. I amsurprised at how much water the poppers threw, even with such a small mouth. I was just playing around when I cut the nose off, but it seems to work. Now I'l see how the fish like them.

Paul, I'd love to trade if it gets me one of those plugs. I kept coming over to your table just to drool.

Go Bears!
