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.........

I love 1900 & 2100 Series Creek Chub Poppers but wanted something a bit heftier so....

And one of the best color Needlefish was Basmaster red/black so I made this one to tend the bottom. It weighs 4 oz and is six inches long and sinks just perfect like a submarine does level.

Glad to see you getting some plugs done Flap, they look good and I bet the bass will like them too.

I finally got to making a few also.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Good to see you back at it, Slip. I still go back to old threads and admire your stuff from years past.
