Then a single skinny pencil 7.5" 1.6 oz. It was born when I was adjusting the duplicator, but I liked it a lot. I set it up with a single 15gram tail weight positioned about 1/2 way between the tail and belly hook. It floats at 45 degrees and I think will work well real slow.....in case I'm dragged kicking and screaming to BH.  |

....and some "dinner plugs". Copies of that beat up plug I posted earlier this winter........an attempt at a Jigman spook before I had a real one that worked well for a friend. Approximately 6.5" and 2.5 oz. They have a medium belly weight and medium tail weight to float at about 30 degrees.

Finally, a Lucky 13 on steriods. About 6", 3 oz, fat, floats tail under and water at mid face, required a huge tail slug and massive chin slug. Haven't swum it yet (too lazy....but maybe today).

They all look great George, I bet you will be able to launch them just fine, no cannon needed.

If I'm at the canal you can be safe in assuming the fish are not, Slip.
Bill C, I can't say my L13 was a rousing success. Chugs well and swims the first few feet, but then deadens out and acts like a lousy bottle plug. Casts like a sinker, however, and sometimes what the fish like isn't what I expect. We'll see. |

Sounds like you will have to do a stop and go retrieve. I get life out of mine by not putting weight in the front half of the plug. The first one I made, I put the belly weight just in back of the front hook. I am thinking the light front tries to go left then right and the weight in the rear brings it back. 
If you get ambitious, drill the front weight out and see if you get a different beast.  |
