Looks nice
must be heavy though with that board stuff

I like the action but it was very fast, or is that just the video

interesting joints

I like that you got it to swim without a lip. Pretty cool.

I can swim it real slow just enough to keep it from sinking and it has the same action. I did the joint with swivels pinned top to bottom with a 1/8" stainless rod.

Dan I will bring another one to plugfest for you.

I swam this bait today, video does not do it justice. I took it off after 3 casts and gave it back to the Greek. He was mumbling something about him goin in after it if I broke it off.

I got an image of having to do CPR on him and quickly removed the plug from the watetr.

Nice plug, I want one.
