If it only saw water once it must have been sitting in a bucket of it for a month. Cut the hooks off (and replace),then fish it. Or hang it as a momento. Probably worth 20 to 25 bux with the box.

Thanks for the advice guys, I think it'tt hit the suds next season when the blues are around. But I did take it uopn myself to copy it (as close as I could anyway) and tested them together, they both swam the same are almost exactly the same weight and I even copied the hardware to a tee all made by hand, I knida like the way it came out.

This one will definately get launched when the girls are out there.

What do you guys think? Worth making a few more to keep in my arsenal?

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

I would cut it up and find out how it is made, then make new ones the same way.

2nd that

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
