Small batch of Gary2 Skinnies

I traded with WoodyCT at Plugfest for a sweet gold G2 Skinny that he made this winter. I had to clone his clone so I can perpetuate this great design. These are now ready to thru wire and then etex tonight can't wait to try them from my yak in BH in May/June

Very nice work as always, Chris.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

For historical accuracy, I think gary2 copied (and upsized a bit) the BM schoolie, which in turn was a surface version knockoff of the Gibbs trolling swimmer.
The plugs swim well, but cast poorly in my limited experience with them.

One of my goals this spring, to get a keeper from the yak in BH or one of the south side rivers. My parents have a few cheap yaks not fitted with the rod holders. When I get one fishing functional, it would be great to join ya sometime!

sweet plugs by the way what are they guna weigh when wired and hooked?

something clever and related to fishing

Johnny-

They weigh just under 2 oz with cut 3/0s and a sparse flag on the tail.

I would definitely be up for a yak session on BH in may/June when the fish are back

I have one of Woodys slims. Nice looking and design features a profile which should emulate the early herring and alewive run this spring.
