Paul, I have not noticed it much with the original size ones, but with the larger it is more apparent. And yes it is sweet!

Hey guys,

Man I love the looks of that C.C Surf Darter....I'm thinking of giving it a go....So from Rockfish's input..5/0 treble and give it some chin weight to start with........ang tail weight right off the bat? I would be using WRC, pine, or poplar, unless maple would be better. Casting distance is not an issue for us landlovers
can someone give me some input on the difference in action between these and the typical darters i see posted/ I know darters seem to be the plug everyone fears to build.

Thanks,

Best,

MS
