WOW nice stuff there Rockfish

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.

It looks and swims sweet... disapears in the muddy water though...

took a few tries to get the "pecs" to float where I wanted them, I twist some small diameter 304 around a #0 phillips to make my teasers and fins,I wanted them to lay at the side of the bait in a natural posistion, not floating up or hanging down, by adding foam they floated up, so by trial and error, a few wraps of electrical solder I found the right combo.. so now every length of wire gets measured, all sloder gets measured , I measure the foam and try to pinch the same amount of bucktail... it took a dozen attempts to get it right.. but I have the formula now... I've made 4 and they all look and swim great, at rest the "fins" stand out to the side, as the plug swims, they lay along the body and wiggle back and forth.....probably dont mean squat but was cool to figure out....
