Both. It spins, but it will randomly fly out of the water and flap down on the surface as it does so.

I'd be happy too. Not sure about the great thing though! So the plug is a copy of a Bernie Myers flaptail that VB so kindly let me borrow. One of these days he'll invite me back and I'll return the orginal he doesn't even know he's missing!

Because the flaptail comes directly off the back of the plug it has a different action than the lido. As numbskull writes, the lido's tail spins in the water and then pops out on occasion. On this Myers plug the flaptail just bounces around as the plug is worked. Just two different styles.

It's either here at lunch or late at night when those kiddos go to bed. When their around I don't stand a chance!

Here are the orginals in case anyone wants to see them. Probably should return them soon...

Sorry if I'm hijacking the Lido thread...

Not hijacking. A good exchange of ideas. Interesting the difference in the Myers and Lido re attaching the flaptail and the impact on the action. I believe I need to try one each way.
Thanks for the information.
