It won't be an issue for him. He bought a boat because he can't cast more than 20 feet.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

poppers that don't cast are not really something that plug builders look into. Many needle fish with rubber tails are made, most of them don't sell great because you can take a pre-existing needle and put a rubber tail on it.

As aplug builder its tough to make a jointed or anything else that people are interetested in.

i know what the tallywackers look like, this is different.

just a 2 inch head, think of a fly popper. Basically an open mouth, eye and siwash. I dont think it would cast any differently than a normal sluggo.
Working it like a popper, you'd have the splash and then the rubber would pulsate at rest.

Poke a hole through a wine cork. slide it on ahead of the sliggo.

I could tell you where in the bay I used this rig in my little Whaler, but I'd have to kill you.
