So tell us more please Mr. Smith.

You say the plug you were trying to emulate was a Danny style but that is a round nose swimmer correct? But you have achieved a similar action with your big swimmer style?

Gary2`s Slims swim with a killer slow waggle on top when controlled at the right speed.

Love to see this new one in action When you coming to the Cape or is it not till RI in the Fall this year?

Best,
Mike

Good health and family

I don't mean to imply that it is a Danny action - only inspired by a Danny that swam high in the water - and frankly- swam in a somewhat undannylike manner. But ever since I saw that plug swim - I was looking for something with a similar surface presence.

Mike - I'm not sure where I'll be when - but I will be on Cape and/or MV in the spring - then Maine, RI and Cape in the fall.

Ok my reading comprehension is dim at times or AADD or late night meds

It is a lovely plug by the way...what does it weigh?

Might have to tack one on to the Mackerel bill.

Keep up the great work in your indoor and outdoor Lab-oratories.

Good health and family

Plug weighs aprox 2.7 ounces. NIB - it does look like my other plugs - I guess I've got a theme going.
