Slimrads

Here's a couple I just finished up. 7.25" and 2.75 oz. Made from EWP. I used a conrad jr. lip and full length body. Still need to be fish approved though...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Look good Mike. One thing I would consider if you make more is to raise the lip slot up to 1/16 above center.

Funny you mention that. I just swam them and the white one is perfect while the black/yellow has a slightly lower slot position(my f up) and rolls a bit more.

Noticed alot of us going slim with our plugs .. I think its the fish talking to us .. I'd love to see the menhaden population explode and see us all going the other way .. Great stuff Mike ... enjoyed watching your threads this past winter ..
