Finally made it out of Darter Hell. This is the first traditional face darter I have been able to get to swim. I have done others but had to compromise something shape wise somewhere. I was overthinking this one way to much it seems. This one is unweighted maple.

Very nice Ted, I'm thinking I'm going to catch a fish on the slider I got from you at Plugfest tomorrow.

Short darters are tough. Adding length helps with stability, particularly as the plug gets wider.

Liking those sliders. They're definitely on the "to do list" for next winter.
