Something a little different
Been playing with some new stuff lately. Idea for these came from a friend of mine who does a lot of musky fishing (lurks here too so maybe I can guilt him into joining us  ). Uses a lot of jerkbaits/gliders. Cool looking plugs and the action is right to tempt stripers too. Sooo I've been experimenting with thoughts of stripers rather than musky. I'm still messing around some with weighing and various shapes. Here are the first couple. Right around 1 1/2 oz. Slow sinkers. Action all depends on the person holding the rod. Twitch the rod, the plug will dart in one direction, and come to a slow glide before it starts to slowly sink again. Twitch again, does the same in the other direction. Basically, think of a spook or slugo  Can be used on top, but more of a just below surface type bait that occassional breaks the surface. As its a sinker, you could also work it at deeper depths. Something to keep me entertained through the winter as I probably won't get them in front of fish until spring and find out if I need to make a bunch more

Right on. I agree. A slab sided slugo-type surface plug that will roll onto its side as you "walk the dog" has big promise. I've turned out a bunch of those larger Frech Banana plugs, and they look good in their own right, but I've been thinking something smaller would be better. It looks as if you hit the nail right on the head. Nice work.

Don't know, I'm home now so no jacuzzi for test swimming plugs Threw them for a bit this afternoon. Action looked pretty good. Still need to test out some other weighing configurations.
numbskull, I've seen the photos of those Frech plugs. How are they used? I was thinking that they were more of a floating, slow wake on top action. Is that correct? The ones I did will wake on top too, but was going more for the slugo type action.

Jigman. These Banana plugs roll and plane side to side with each twitch of the rod tip, but they're too big and heavy in my opinion. I'll pm you some more weighting info, etc.
