#8 and #9

Well I just finished round 2 (only 2 plugs, but hey Im still new at all this) Tested one prior to finishing and it looked pretty good in the water.

I know it gets a little old looking at the same old thing, but I gotta show someone!

Thanks for the compliments guys...these truly are my 8 and 9th plug built. I'm slow as he!!, but at least they seem to be coming out.

I had a chance to swim these (finished) for the first time last night. Had to play with the lip angle, but finally got them wigglin...maybe to much?

The back half of these dannies seem to be a smaller diameter than a lot of what I see here. Right now I have no tail weight...wondering if I may need it to slow the action down a bit?? I will use these and I would have to think they will pi$$ off some bass, but is there such thing as too much action?
