Numbskull , never stopped fishing the plastic version of that plug ..That plug goes down on the retrieve.. reel it in steady about ten yds.,,,pause .. it will float back up to the surface ,,this is when you get wacked... if not repeat . I got a lesson from Numby .. Canal Man has his own way of fishing it too . Numby told me the guy that invented that plug was a genius .. Nice job .. a lot of work handcarving that .

I make the 6" ,,,, the big one ,,, I made it weghted with 1 00 buckshot behind belly hook and I made it unweighted .. Numby told me last outing, weighted is the way to go . I'll send you a blank of mine to keep/copy if you want .

You have good reason to be proud of that plug.........no easy task to build something like that without a lathe. Very impressive! Looks like it will work well, good luck with it. Post some pictures of what you catch.
