A new plug

This plug I have been working on for about one year.I gave this to a few guys and had some very good results with it.I caught a lot of bass on mine but did not get any over 15 lbs.A friend had a super day last late spring with bass in the thirties and one at 42 lbs.
It can handle current very good and can be made to dig deep with slight modifications with the lip.The smokey joe is a deep digger and will be used in certain spot that is deep and swift,the bass will let us know what it looks like.
The pink is staying with me and I plan on targeting the big weakfish with it,that will be here soon

I notice a few builders lately are coming up with plugs with different shapes around the tail area. Very Nice Gary, glad to hear they catch fish.

Thanks guys
A little more on this plug,I made the tail similar to my superkick plug as this let's me thru wire it.It turns out the tail throws a little more turbulence while it swims.It has the shape of a mega bait,sidekick ,and probably a few other lures I do not know about.I have workeed on the lip shape and at this time the plug swims with a somewhat tight wiggle
perhaps close to a bomber shake.
We used the plug last year in a variety of situations,from crawling on top to let it dig in the sand botttow and killing the action.This worked very nice down in south jersey.The bass were following the plug and when it started to rise it got hit.
It is a small plug and only weighs in at about 1 onz+.With the right rod the little guy casts fairly nice.I made about 15 plugs that I sold at the Asbury show,hopefully more feed back will be coming

You are a master Gary

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
