With 3 inches of tail at the end it wobbles ever so slightly side to side and sinks with a tiny degree of head up attitude but it is not( which is different for me, just ask Numbskull) a surface type needle plug. Its meant to cruise just under AND VERY VERY VERY S-L-O-W-L-Y.

Why even try.........

cool plug

I have one of those capesams gave me, it is just a dowel with weights front and rear, I guess an early model. I'll be getting more creative with my needles this year also. I hope to fish where the fish are too.

Ya Steve, I got over that illness and have been back to work busting butt. no time for trout, no time for holdovers, no time to organize gear, only time for work and family right now. I can't wait for May to get here.
