That is a skinny danny (though really more of a donny shape). Been a good plug for me and a few others. AYC, Lefty 2 mid slot, and the weight a little aft of center. About 3oz. Casts well, swims at very slow retrieves, rolls a ton (it actually will do barrel rolls with a sharp twitch). You can't pop it. Stays barely subsurface and doesn't leave much wake. I'd expect it to suck, but it has become one of my most productive plugs. Go figure. Here is a close up with a fish a lurker named Earlybird took. As an aside, the conrad jr's have proven to be very useful as well, particularly off jetties.

Just barely subsurface is a good place to fish..

indeed. i always fished swimmers that swam on top at night, then went to a McKenna presentation where he talked alot about keeping your presentation subsurface, even if only an inch or two. I tried it and my results improved, especially in terms of size. Now the problem is finding good subsurface swimmers. Juniors and loaded redfins are my favorites so far, with the exception of conrads in deep enough water.

Slow where I was today. Worked hard for this one. My oldest son home for the summer, just getting into fishing (now that soccer, girls, college, drinking and job are all covered). Took a Jigman-copy spook. Sweet plug.
