Looking good, Dave.

Thought you might be interested to see this. It is a plug Steve gave me @1987. Handshaped.

George thanks for digging that one up, and to the greek, your jointed is sweet too.

The more we do this the more I realize we're not really going to come up with something new.. When I started messing with darters last year, on my first set I did not taper the nose of the plug and I ended up with some that were more swimmers than darters. But thats not necessarily a bad thing, and with the lip in line with the body that shape casts very well...

Looking at darters & the romans really got me thinking about in line lips where the lips just an extension of the body and in line with the body of the plug. I think there's a lot you can do with it...

There are so many subtle variations,from the height of the line tie, the angle and length of the slope, body shape & width s
