Curious little darter. Very high line tie and not much slope. More freshwater/CCBC style than standard saltwater fare. Always more to learn it seems.

Thanks man, glad I could help!

That lil plug looks great.

I have a few spots where that will crush.

Thanks again.

when i test swam them, they were digging 3-4 deep, i could not push it deeper without fear of hanging them up.....they sit butt down, nose taper level with the water

i find the high line tie gives the lure more ability to dig in, and if you use a duolock/similar(not direct tie) it seems to dart more...more freedom to move???

the pic does not show the true taper, but it is a 2 stage , similar to a gibbs
