Prof M. here is the rear view of my weight placement of my belly weight Wadd. the hole 3/16" and below a 1/4" dowel plugging up the remaining hole. Put entire blank on lathe and spin away. I do go slower when I approach the dowel area.

I went out the the harbor which was the only open water and tested a NCG setup on a 1201L and swam my version of the Atom 54B. I was impress all around. The rod casted great with the concept set up , 30,20,12,8,8,8,8,8,10tip. The Atom 54B was the other homerun. Swam down just under <1', wiggle ever so nicely. used 2/0 treble on the belly w/pennant on tail. Very nice S wiggle. Thanks for all your help George. By the way I put 11gram tailweight thru the wire. I cut a 7 gram in half and put the half and a whole one into a 17/64" hole up to the swivel hole shy of going inside the hook hole 1/16". Filled the void w/ wooden spacer. Got to get some of the roll plastic Prof. M has.

I hope i don't stay up to late plan on taking my wife to dinner and then to see Avatar as she did not want anything to do with seeing it when she first saw the previews and now she wants me to take her.I am glad because now i get to go to a new imax they just opened and heard good things about it.Not busting your chops Larry but i will give you my honest opinion after i see it.I also need to take pics of my paint shaker for you guys which works great btw.I had paint just sitting here for over a year (createx) all the paint on the bottom and the clear separeted on top like oil and vinegar took 30 sec to get it mixed.See you in the morning.

Yes, I've known about that one for awhile. 10 1/2" and 4oz. Very doable, but I went with the BM/Pichney version last winter and barely fished them (beetch to carry). Found a picture of a Musso Eely this afternoon, however, a plug I never knew existed and one Back Beach asked me about just a week ago......2 hours later I think I've got something close. Don't have an original, but I've spent so much time copying his stuff I feel pretty confident I know how he would have gone about it. We'll see.
