 Thanks to Billy (wrikerjr) for sending me a 2.25 oz original.Thanks to Mr Musso for his genius.  Very impressive swimmer (particularly at slow speed).  Learned a ton trying to copy it.  Once I had the medium it was easy to get the larger version to work, and the bottle darter was a simple step from there.

				 | Fantastic work George. Painstakingly copied and success. What Musso model was that? Never saw a lipless Musso. Seen a Lex version though. |

				 | Sweet! Interesting with the low line tie...Is it strictly a surface swimmer or will it get down at all? I would be very curious to see what the action is like. |

				 | I made a mold out of that design last season...and cranked out a few in plastic....the plug worked great.   I like the lip less design  more of an S shape swim action then a Z and it swam well in hard currents too. 
Honest to God on my very first test cast with that plug got me a 30#er last season (sad to say it was one of the biggest fish of the year for me   last season)
 
I got rid of the first hook just left the belly and tail though |
