Very nice!

Question from a newbie: What makes the yellow wobble across the surface, while the black one(which is lighter) dives, they appear to have similar front darter angles? Is it the surface area on the front angle? Surface area of the entire plug? Length of the yellow one? Wood type?
Thanks love learning from you guys!

Well from someone who dosen't know much about the sport ( in your words) I think with your knowledge of this fishery and how to catch deep water to shallow you have turned out some nice pluggage ,now sit own shut up and give me a plug

GF, no, the weighting was played with in several different spots (thank God for Famowood Filler) but with all things considered like weight of hooks swivels etc. it eneded up they were weighted pretty close to normal lacations just a wee bit aft of the foreward treble.

Why even try.........
