Numbskull,
VERY nice. Consider adding another shot of weight into that rocket about where a forward treble would go. Should push the weight close to 2 ozs. Maybe then you could use it with your tackle? I know the original Danny's came in various weights. One I have has 4 slugs of lead. Remember: the original was meant to be a "Wooden Hopkins" - the Hopkins it was imitating was the No=Eql
(2 ounce model.) Size 3 1/2

George - that bass seeker is awesome. Will you have it at plugfest? I have got to get a closer look. As usual - great work.
