trial and error?

The way the process usually works is you build a few of the different designs you like, test swim them, and when you think you have them perfected you mail me a copy of each and I put them through a battery of QA tests for you and report back on my findings...Its all very Scientific

i liked that answer.. i can do that.. since we all know what happens when i try to fish.. rather put them into the hands of some one who can catch fish under normal conditions... lol.

then again, if i create something that even I can catch fish on.. you know it's a killer.

and now 5 mins later i am already over analyzing.. do you guys consider that certain miracle lure a cheat? what exactly crosses the line between sporting and cheating? oh boy.. here we go.. pembroke hospital here i come..

I would focus on catching fish first. How can you build a plug if you don't know what you want it to do and how would you know what you want it to do if you haven't caught fish on plugs?

You already have one problem. Why dump more on top of that? Doesn't sound like fun and it's suppose to be.

aerodynamics"".....poppers and pencils, spooks..of all the customs we trade for, some are better casters than others some are better catchers too...some are good for boat, some beachtest-test-test every year you'll get better

i have caught plenty of fish on plugs.. i know exactly what i want them to do.. only problem is the plugs i have caught fish are incredibly hard to come by these days. (excluding my freshwater assortment) been pluggin since i was six.

i have a very good idea of how i want my stuff to act. thus building em myself. since i cant find em. i'm just wandering how the process goes to getting them to that point. i hear "test test test" aka trial and error... and then "study study study" which is more of a hypothesis approach. i guess it all boils down to what i asked though and the results come out to be trial and error.

Test and create to fit your needs.

Sorry. I thought I saw something about you primarily being a chunker. I don't read most of your posts. What plugs are you looking for that are now hard to come by?

Geeez your making this awfuly hard .. I'm exausted . 1.The fish will tell you if your plugs are any good ..
2 . can you reach the fish ?
You say you know everthing .. then why do you ask .?
Take a simple plug .. a danny .. fat in the middle tapered both ends ,,right ..maybe not .. what if you made the fat part a little aft of center ? (beachmaster).. Would that make it cast a little better ? Hurry Up and start making them .. I'm dieing to see what you come up with . And they better be Hydro Orientated !!!!!!!!

hahaha you get me!! i know what i want! but what do the fish want?hopefully what i want since those were the last major producers for me... wait.. now i've confused myself.. see how i work now? i know everything but i never know enough. make sense yet?

no?

didnt think so...

cause i dont even know yet.. it a combo of me and others.. all i asked really was how they planned things out. yours has been the best answer. with take a design and modify. larry's was close with study it. but though he meant study then reproduce. which is no fun. otherwise i would just buy him out of stock. .

i think you guys are the ones over analyzing the question lol. i just want to know the methods you use to test and correct.

but i may have worded it horribly. english wasn't my thing. i'm a math science guy. there is no room for interpretation with me. it's all black white, yes or no answers.

example... i want a certain wobble, i base it off lets say a danny. ok i take your idea and make it fatter at some point.. then just toss it i lets say my grandmas pool.. as larry sits on the deck enjoying a tropical drink. (he knows where it is, and should say hi since every one is asking about him) but it doesn't wobble right..

should i toss a complete blank in? or hooked up version with a full clear coat and then sand that down and work on THAT ONE til i find the sweet spot? or should i not bother and just spin a few different variants?
