Pichney Large Darter Specs

I'm trying to catalog some plug schematics of plugs that I would one day hope to build. Does anyone have a schematic of the Pichney large darter they would be willing to share? Many thanks in advance.

I would suggest if you want to copy a Pitchney darter, pick up a 2 oz and 3 Salty darter kit. They both are Pitchney remakes.I don't bother w/darters anymore. I do use these darters and I can say they swim & dart very well. You also can very the amount of action by locating the the line tie either forward or back in the wire slot.

FWIW Scott.from Saltys said once the darter kits he has made are gone, they are gone. For less than 10 buck they're they least expensive darter you can get.

Paul, thanks to you, so do I.

In the spirit of SB.com who would like this blank, unfinished, naked Pinckney darter to use as a model?

my pleasure. send it to Surf Caster. That way he won't need a schematic.
