The Bomber bombed. I need to rethink the weight or the lip or something....
The little swimmer fooled a few small schoolies :-)

From what I could tell, yes. It was pretty dark... But there was no pluse in the rod tip that I could feel. When I dragged it thru the water in front of me, it took a pretty nose heavy attitude and seemed to stay pretty straight.
I was looking for a tight wiggle.

Forgot to mentino that I tried to weight it at the same point the similar sized bomber is weighted in front of the hook. I'm wondering if that may be my problem, as the overall bouyancy of wood/vs plastic bait would be different.
