And here's some swimmers I've been working on. George thanks for the dimensions. I ended up doinga lot of tweaking on these.

The smaller 6" ones are maple. I only wanted one belly hook which then gave me a plug with too much roll so I ended up switching the lips to danny 2. These should go subsurface but I'll have to do some testing of the finished version.

In the picture with the seniors. The top is white cedar prototype, I really like the way that one came out although while testing I liked the basswood better so thats the only cedar one..

The yellow/silver stripe and parrot one are basswood. First time working with basswood and I got a little too aggressive with the chisels/sandpaper on these 2 so they are slimmer than the seniors should be and I switched them to use heavy danny 2 lip that I use on my fat danny's...

The silver backed one and the bottom herring jointed are both maple.
