So here is the original scoop nose. I don't know the manufacturer. I think I bought it in the early 70's. It's a small through wired plug, 4.25", .75+ wide, and 3/4oz with hooks. Floats like a darter, tail a bit down and water level with the linetie. No weight other than the hooks that I can see. Has a kind of swooping, darting action. Doesn't roll out, but does tend to get on a track off to one side or the other. Does better with a high rod tip and some rod action to breakup its swoops. The one I built is loaded with lead in the tail and belly. Floats about the same, but maybe a tad deeper. Swims similarly. I'll be interested to see it in current, but I'm suspicious the original maker was trying for a plug that would work like a darter in slack water. Certainly something different, how useful remains to be seen.

I see the scoop serving the same purpose as the beak,,, initial dig ... I'd be curious to know if you have to give the plug a tug to get it going... I bet it starts all by itself .
