Still had no time to test my versions of the Musso lipless yet, Ted yours look great. I'm going to belly weight one of them as Musso did and also try a Nike style weighting also. Keep seeing stuff on the boards about BIG darters so I gave one a shot last night. Totally winged it on this one, used one of George's for reference. 9" and 1.75" dia. looks like right about 5 oz. finished.

No harm in trying anything, but just for the record it was Frech who weighted his darters (following Gibbs lead). Musso didn't weight his. Too much tail weight will make the plug roll more easily.
And for heaven's sake fish that green thing and see what you can do with it. If you lose it I have more. |

No weight in the Darter, was referring to the Lipless Musso which I really want to get to work. As far as the green thing it was in the water quite a bit before the storm and worked good, just no fish around to give it a taste! The small one is good also,  them! |

A whole lot of awesome plugs and info being posted in this thread guys. 
I have not posted much but I have been busy building some plugs and a bit of collaboration stuff. Mostly non-lipped plugs which I like to make and fish but also a new swimmer I am happy with and eager to fully test this Spring. I just need to get some pics taken and posted. |

Sweet looking plug. I'll be curious how you do with it and how it compares to the Gibbs. I have a copy that was given me but was not impressed by its action and never understood why Musso picked it to be the model for his plastic super strike (which has even less action in my hands). |
