No striper alive has ever seen one of those. I think it will be good. The weight sounds right as well. I've an old add for the same plug that claims it weighed 2.5 oz. Nice stuff.

nice plug. i made a couple a while back, weighed with 1 oz in the front and one in the back, floats then dives deep with a real sexy wiggling action. How is the real one weighted?

Nothing... original not weighted at all . I hydro orientated mine and the 5/0 hooks are good ballast too . Real one feels like hardwood . Maybe someone will tell us more .. Adam R ,Flap,Capesams,Vineyardblues, Knumbskull...
Good info above tells us it was suppose to weigh 2.5 , The real one above weighs in at 2.2 on the digital scale . Mine weighs 2.8 using hard maple . Thats why I was going to try some other woods , to lighten up a little . I love the fact the plug is so plain and simple,,nothing fancy , I bet its sick in the water..
