Show me your Mur-Eels

Mur-eel

Here is a Mur-eel from my collection. If I have time I may be able to post some things in your "anything different" category.

Is that red on the bottom one part of the original paint? I never saw one like that.

These are all great pics guys. Between this thread and a post Capesams did earlier (around christmas) I've decided to give this style of plug a try. I notice in the post capesams made there were two weights in the tail section. Can anyone tell me how much weight is in the front and back? From the looks of the pics CS posted (around christmas) there appears to be an 1/8oz slug at the tail loop and 1/4 near the joint? Any help would be appreciated.
