By chance, however, years ago I built a jointed swimmer that seems to be a real "magic" plug" for me............one that consistently catches fish, even when things are slow. I've had trouble reduplicating it. Two things I've noticed about it are that it swims more level than the others I've built, and it's bouyancy is very close to neutral (its made out of maple), which lets it suspend when I pause my retrieve.
It is just that I've puzzled for years as to why this one plug I own works so well.
Maybe you accidently have the 2 pieces hydro orientated.. talk about a hyjack ... I'll shut up .
Very nice jointeds, AH. One of the first I ever made was a jointed out of two NJT swimmer kits. You just made me want to jump back in.
