///how do ya make that cut with it curved ??? blows my mind/////
I just shaped it on the belt sander no biggie.
I think If I make another one Im going to weight it so the rear/tail
floats half out of water By it self at an angle so it will still cast.
Have not tested this one yet.
But it floats in freash water (My sink) and the tail sinks
it will cast very nice.

Nice Knuckleheads. One thing I learned though is that the Knuckleheads by Creek Chub suck compared to the original Striper Strike plastic poppers. The #1900-P in Chrome kicks ass along the Elizabeths and off the Beach a #1900 in Pearl white is great. The knuckleheads just don't fish as well.

Why even try.........

BM, how big is this plug? I turned 1 yesterday from your picture. It is 7" long and 1 5/8" wide at widest point. I am going to try wiring it the way CS does his jointed plugs.

mine comes in at 4 oz and is fat as one of my fatboy dannys.
it is I guess 6.5" long Im guessing as it is made from the same blocks i use for dannys
Im going to make a few more only Im going to cut the tail weight in half and push it up towards the front of the lure. to balance the tail a bit better.
I have one lead shot in the front half
I think I am going to go for the plug to sit half way submerged.

Thanks to BA ,I cant wait to try the front loop thingie.
wicked pissaH plug...............
