4" dannies

This is a scaled down version of a 6" danny that I really like. About 1.25 ounces. At this weight and size, I've discovered that they become very sensitive to little things, like lip size, diameter of the thru wire, even how much wire is used in the line tie loop at the head of the plug. These guys swim a bit nose down compared to the 6" version, consequently a bit more tail slap. Can still be tuned to swim in moderate current. Doesn't take much at all to make them wiggle.

Keep a firm grip on your rod when using those. Very nice.
