Great stuff George, that green and blue combo looks like it will do some damage.

George .. I'm very interrested how those soft maple darters work .. I don't know if you tested them yet . I've only worked with soft maple once, and that was a board that sat in a barn 40 yrs.. I'd much prefer working with that compared to hard (brittle) maple . Seems like you got them dialed in with the sealer added weight too ..

I'm a hack compared to you guys... but soft maple ROCKS for darters. Great action. no splitting at least in my experience.

Nice work George.
Although I'm not a plugophile to a very high degree, I can see no reason why the bluefish won't absolutely love those...

This years model..Very Nice stuff as usual.Them troublemakers type surfsters became a plug in much demand once he stopped making them.
Thats a lot of hooks on them darters..I think if you follow the Musso shape the weight takes care oif itself.They are smaller than the BM's.Closer to the old GIBBS I am taking note of the hook placement.Did you add lead to the belly,there iws none in the musso's but they put it in the gibbs..Can I have the yellow one.I'm to lazy to make my own..
I would rather have one of them slimmed down musso type danny things..You making any of those this year..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
