NJ Tackle Musso Kits

Just ordered a few of these today.....I'm not worried about the quality, but was wondering if anyone has swimmed these before....what do they swim like? Looking forward to putting these together and taking them for a swim..... Any advise?

do a good job and let us know how they swim

I'll have to check those out someday

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

"Musso" style swimmers, the originals that is, though having the exact same body shape, were wired two different ways, one had the through wire coming in low on the flat front of the face, this style swam on top kinds like a Danny ( whom by the way D. Musso contends he actually invented) the other had the through wire coming in almost dead center of the flat front of the face and this style swam very deep, kinds like a Conrad.

Hope that helps.

Why even try.........

I've built a few of the Musso style kits and they swim well, but fairly deep.
