Danny time

I spun up 10 of the larger dannies awhile back that were just finished recently. Can't take credit for the paint, my friend did that.

The smaller eelskin was something that I did by accident. I messed up a danny and decided to put it back on the lathe and put a groove in it. I didn't line it up correctly and the groove isn't even. However, my friend was able to fit a fat eelskin on it and swim it the other night. It swam awesome!

Good stuff. The bottom looks like a danny, the top two are more like a gibbs trolling swimmer or gary2 slim, with a pivot point ahead of center. They ought to have a big tail wag. Nice.

Thanks everybody.

Numb, yes they do wag very nicely. I made a prototype of the top one earlier in the Spring and did very well on it, but I had some adhesion problems with the paint. This is my second attempt at them, hopefully I solved the adhesion issue.
