Those are neat, Man there are so many plugs I have yet to see. Are they similar to the ones TT made in white for the swap? P.

Those are awesome! Are they weighted? Is there a tail hook or do ya use a teaser? Mint!

No Fred ... They are not weighted and there should be no tail loop.. I fed a loop in,through the swivel, on the end of my wire and cross pinned it. PIA.. The one with the loop is red ceadar ,, I didn't feel the wood was strong enough for the cross pin.. and yes I am going to put a teaser on the end ,, no tail hook .. The originals have that old hardware that screws in place ..

Nice plug, nice link. The uncut one bears a strong resemblance to Pt Jude's RI special.

ive played around with a couple of these. made some jointed out of red cedar but put some lead in the head and in the tail, used sinker eyes epoxied in instead of wire. Also i didnt carve the face like yours just cut it at an angle similar to yours. They swim real nice and float at the surface till ya start rellin then they dig down pretty deep. Always wanted to see what an original swam like, any one here got a clue?
