Another First!

I learned this at "Plugfest '08" , A special thanks PNG for your teachings on offset turning, I actually retained something for once.

I test swam this saturday late afternoon @ Plum Island amist the rain & fog, I was pleasantly surprised, she had a nice tight wiggle w/ no roll, it swam about 1' below the surface. Maybe the long bucktail may have slowed down the wiggle a bit This plug is 4 1/2" long & weighs 1 1/4 oz.

WIcked nice job!
