Cool stuff George, I am honored to be put in the same sentence as tagger. I just hope he dont want too cut me in half (from jaws kinda - "Hey Chief were gonna need a bigger saw")
The slope looks to be 40 deg, no? I think you will find that thing is gonna go down and fast kinda tough from shore but stop reeling it in and she comes up quick.
The 30 deg and slightly less are easier from shore and with the right wood/retrieve they can stay on top or close to it
fun lure

A Floyd, with a nose job, looks neat.
Nice work, as per usual.

The hooks are new (1986 vintage Mustads), something funny about the lighting (no flash?) just makes them look used. I did fish it tonight, however. Too bouyant (in spite of a tail weight and floating attitude as you've described). Hard to get it down, and it took too fast a retrieve to keep it down, but it looked really good when it was swimming (just faster than I'd want). Either more weight, a higher line tie, wider diving plane, or slimmer profile...........I don't know..... but seems like it is worth tweeking. FYI it wasn't anywhere near an exact copy of an original, I don't have one of the medium ones. Cool plug, as you and PNG have found out, and one with a lot of promise. |
