"MOASS" plugs

Here is what I'm thinking of doing for the swap.

8"
2 1/4 oz.
Yellow over white.

Swim test scheduled for tommorow. I'm looking for a slow sink & hopefully a little wiggle from the hackle.

Looks sweet! I love the yellow, can't go wrong with that. Mine is in top secret test mode. Had to hide the evidence when some s-b'ers were over tonight

That is sweet.....that has Cow written all over it.

I've got it narrowed down to a couple of choices.....still up in the air though.

I did finally figure out the Duplicator, thanx to Tobias.

Sweet looking needle. Please don't tell me that you're done already!!
I'm still wrestling with my options as well. Duplicator? I wish!

Not to worry!!
This is prototype only.
I'm still working out duplicator options as well.
31 is a lot of wood. Normally I'm a last minute procrastinator as in starting Christmas shopping on the 23rd or so.
This swap requires some serious advanced woodworking!!

I saw this a few days ago and meant to post. Great looking needle. Very clean. Did it swim like you had hoped?

I was overall very happy with the swim test.
It casts nicely and has a nice slow sink rate. Anything but a very slow retrieve will bring it up to the surface however. I'm new to fishing needles so I'm not sure if thats good or bad.
