G pretty much covered it

. I will agree with George that they don't seem to be the best plug for the strong current areas like the canal. They seem to have too wild of an action in that strong current and I personally don't like that wild action, probably why I don't like wooden jointed plugs maybe, but there are plenty of spots in the canal where the current is not maxed out that the Jr. is very good at and adding an eel skin is even better and will also keep it from getting hung up when in real close as it won't go down as deep with the skin on. That is one problem you will find fishing them in the canal, trying to get them back to shore. You have to go real slow last 15' or it will drag the bottom, but you learn how to do it. The peanut is another very good smaller version that I made last year. I just turned up a bunch of those this week and look forward to fishing them this spring. The Conrad's have become a plug that I have become addicted to making the last few years.
