Nice Fred, ,you've been busy.

That's a cool little plug. Sort of a cross between a plug and a metal squid. What sort of action does it have?

BBJ -- Like the 40, but especially like the reverse atom. Any trouble thru driling to get the wire eye in place where you have it? Did you drill to the hook hole in the rear and drill from the front to that hole? How does it swim? I have been meaning to try that plug scaled down just a little. Using a single hook in the center.

low & slow 37

I drilled from the fat end to where the line attaches. Then I start the other end straight in and thed turn toward the rear. The way I've weighted them they lay dead flat in the water, because of where the line loop is it will leap up if twitched hard or slide if swept. It will also walk the dog. I only used a tail and a belly hook because a third hook is a PIA if you're not killing everything you catch. It's a plug that never was- a wooden reverse 40.
