I don't think so, Paul. The old atoms had some sort of home made swivel that was a brass tube with a through wire hole in it, and then crimped on one end to hold an elongated swivel loop.

Cheese and crackers, Tagger! Between you and George, you got all the answers!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

I'm surprised to see no weight in the belly of the one without the tail weight... probably very rolly no? With that snow plow of a lip on there

no more roll then any other plug of that type..if you noticed,,Bob started to turn the edges of the lips up...swims very tite. plugs with the lead in the tail swim with very little tail movement compaired to the plug without lead that has a wide tail wiggle.

I have noticed the "Scoop" lips... Still I like them with the belly weight.. But I'll try one without again to see the difference.
