Of all the metal lip swimmer types that Ive tried, the surfster was the one that gave me the biggest headache. When done right they have a real sexy wiggle to them and do not roll 180 degrees Seemed that if you make them too thin or too thick they roll real bad. I also found that I needed two belly hooks (I use a teaser for the tail though a third hook could also be used) to make them swim right. Certainly not a plug that I would use in heavy current. The 1 1/2 oz size I make has done well for me and a few others off the beaches in Rhody. Work them slow and on top, boom

such thing as really late?
Can this thread carry on throughout the week for those of us who work on sunday?
Thanks to numbskull, I've been slowly accomplishing some Musso Jr. and Sr. knock offs. The Dimensions are accurate now I'm working on the weighting. Only 6.125" but both the SS and Pine come in at 2.75oz.
Oh yeah and some pencils too.

I think the original pine I saw weighed 2.5-2.6 oz rigged so you are very close.

You know, Lu, Roy L told me his friend got a high 30 lb fish in the canal this fall on a darter that was doing exactly the same thing. If you stop to think about it, a combined sub-surface and surface plug might have something to say for it.

Did you recall if the orig. had a small tail weight?
2.75oz was 12grams in the belly (tried to account for the hole I drilled through the weight) plus a tail weight.

No tail weight. But it did carry a tail hook (which I don't use). Float it. If it sits close to level rigged the way you want with water at the tail and just below the lip slot you should be good. The Pine Srs and SSs I built came out heavy but fish fine.

Good Morning all. I'm early. No paper yet. Got 8" snow w/ wind blown drifts up to 2" . God I hate snow. Gotta plow later. George, I've been studying the 2- A54B pixs. In the xray it looks like the wire hole is say 5/16" and the weight is on the bottom and the wire slides over the top. It doesn't seem like a double cut hole by the shadow marks. I finally got the blank template set up on the lathe. Using my plastic Atom version, I come up with 1 1/16" diameter, 5 3/8" length. The pix looks like 1 1/8" dia. like an Atom Jr w/ 5 5/8"length. Do you know what the swim characteristics were in this plug w/ just a recessed tailweight? I looks to cast better the an A-jr.

Prof M. here is the rear view of my weight placement of my belly weight Wadd. the hole 3/16" and below a 1/4" dowel plugging up the remaining hole. Put entire blank on lathe and spin away. I do go slower when I approach the dowel area.

Go to your local municipal swimming pool?? Or the "Y"? I am sure they would not mind you swimming a chunk of wood with sharp hooks on it through the masses?!!
