Playing in the shop today with an idea I had.....this is one of my popper bodies outfitted with a metal lip! She is going for a swim tomorrow and I am wondering what some of you think it will do? Will it swim? Or will it sink? Any guesses?

One more....

i think that it will wiggle and gurgle just under surface.

My only thought Don is that the top lip might resist too much and kill it? Most swimmers have the water flowing over a more aerodynamic (rounded) head......I guess I will find out and let you know tomorrow.

I agree : I think it'll blow sub-surface bubbles and catch! Looks like a real noise maker. HEREFISHYFISHY!!
