Agree...excellent post jigman. Tons of information in that one.

I really haven't started many "how do I do this type threads", but really wanted to here a little more on peoples thoughts about it. I agree with what you said above about making anything walk the dog. With a half way decent profile and some lead in the arse...it walks. Like I've seen Tagger say in the past. I got got plugs that walk and catch fish...but they'll kill you of exhaustion doing it! I guess my goal was to make something that would walk/glide with a little more ease. I keep seeing over and over how great the jiggy/jigsmith spook is. I never doubted it, just curious why. From what I've heard from other it's from how easily it works. That's when I figured I put some time into seeing what makes it work easier...not just work. Anyway...thanks for chiming in and the help...much appreciated.

I fell victim to a distance casters mentality . Made spooks out of maple , mahogony , birch .. They'll work, but wear you down ,, not fun after a while . If I see fish out in the middle of the canal I'm reaching for a Pencil Popper . I think spooks cast great ,, just not your optimun distance . That being said , I swear a spook will raise a fish when nothing eles will .. Always one with me ,,
