the Dart was my first car. Fast and light. Beat IROCs and mustangs on a regular basis. dove ti into the ground though. Mine was brown and ugly so it lulled others into a false sense of security

Go Bears!

Update your website!!

I like the shape of your canal pencils but they sink like a stone and take a while to get back to the surface. Maybe a slower sinking canal style pencil??

They are built that way Lurch. They passed the test with flying colors this past season with many big fish caught and lost. They get down to give the big girls a look and swim back to the surface.....this is how a canal pencil is supposed to work. "Sink like a stone" is exactly the way I built them.....lighter would not be a Canal Pencil......it would be a standard pencil with a flat bottom. The entire reason for the flat bottom is because they sink it helps get them to the surface quicker.......they work.....if you have one I suggest you give it a shot and fish it accordingly as it is built to sink.

Website soon!

Yes! Thanks Larry. I think those will be good sellers, they are a very unique plug that no one else makes, especially in that size.

I wanted to have them out for this season but life gets busy so on the back burner they went...reluctantly! I fished them though and I love them!

Hey Larry,
I think the post you're referring to is a puzzle. The picture of the "Dart" with the letters "ER" under it is what he's looking for you to build.

Dart + er = darter

As long as you keep making the pencils and the prey swimmers I'll be plenty happy!

Night Mackeral sounds like a cool color option. I would like to see that.

As far as the dart-er, I just like'em and you asked what we would like to see. I have good luck with them, but that's just me. You have to admit, though, that was a pretty good looking picture of a Dart! It is much nicer lookiing than the ones I remember driving around in years ago

I would also like to see smaller bodied prey that would still weighs in around 2-2.5 oz. (maybe in night mackeral... hmmmm now we're talking)

The "Prey" that is now available.....and I believe you have some.....weighs 2.3 ounces? The small one which will be available soon weighs 1 ounce.

Was a sweet Dart!
