goo goo's
I posted some pics of my goo goo collection a while back. If you look up my posts in this forum
you should find them. Let me know if you want any close ups etc and I would be happy to post them. I have made some goo goo styles up. They are pretty easy to do. They were made with many types of eyes over the years. They first had a bead nailed in and painted. Later on they had different types of doll or animal eyes ranging from 9 to 10 millimeters some veined and some not colors were yellow and amber. I recently found some 9 mm veined green ones that work pretty well. One story my mother, who knew Leo Cooper, told me is that he countersunk them a. Little so that air bubbles may come off the plug. No idea if that is true but is interesting anyway. That big daddy is a great plug. A blue one caught the 54 lb bass in my avatar. Got to run I am typing this on my blackberry on the train and fingers are getting tired.

I wondered what happened to your avatar..... Were Goo-goos meant for trolling rather than casting? The one I have feels like it'd cast like an egg carton.

Capt. Frank Sabatowski, who captained Charlie Cinto on the night of his world record (unofficial to the IGFA but still official to me) with a Blue Goo Goo Eye used to wire them through himself and he also grooved his for eelskins. Capt Ron Murphy of the Stray Cat out of Hyannis and who is an old friend of mine got a bunch of Sabby's plugs from his widow when Sabby died. 99% of them were Goo Goos only a few Atom 40's in the pile.

I also do not think the big ones were weighted. The poppers have a little bit of weight you can see on the bottom. I've never cut one open yet though. Don't have one that is enough of a beater.
The big ones don't cast very well I have found. My grandfather however caught a 60 lb'er on a blue goo goo swimmer off scituate many years ago, so they do cast well enough to catch fish.
I've caught a good amount of bluefish on the little 4" swimmers. They hold up pretty well I think with the screw eyes and being made out of a softer wood.
Here is a link to some pics I posted a while back.
