Some Pics

Stuck home with a sick kid, so figured I'd add to this great thread on a great plug.

Note the differences between the yellow and white in terms of shape and hook placement.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR SOME INPUT ON HOW THE DIFFERENT SHAPES AND DIFFERENT HOOK PLACEMENTS FISH COMPARED TO ONE ANOTHER.

For Numby

The standard and the smaller size he mentioned. This is an oldy from Stan or John that has never seen water.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Not too many people will have fished that yellow version. That was the original design but was only built for several years before he changed it, moving the hooks back and the weight forward to avoid front hook catching on the diving plane. There is a lot of variation in the width of the nose and angle of the chin over the years as well.
