That's wicked cool. Bet it will work good, too.

Pissa! Tried one for the plugfest 2 years ago, but it didn't swim and I scrapped it. Your's looks better thought out.

it will sink bell down...
i have 1 3/4oz of belly weights in it most in the belly of the head and 2 just after the joint in the tail.
it needs to be fish like a jig or a buck tail kind of settle in the sand and give it a pull up and drop....

WOW
how'd I miss this one


that is pissa

good luck with it, I bet it does well but you may have to experiment with the hook , a single with that wide body may be difficult to set a hook in a bass's jaw, but who knows
