Numbskull and Tagger inspired me....

Did two of those Nike Roman style plugs. Big one is 6 3/4" long with .4 ounces on lead in the butt, nothing in the belly. The little one is 5 1/2" long with .2 ounces of lead in the butt and a 00 buckshot in the belly. Both turned with cyprus. We'll see how they swim after the epoxy sets up :-) Very interesting plug to do.

Looks like you nailed the profile. Very nice! I made a few, they looked more like an upside down polaris popper, but swam nicely, and unfortunately casted like a potato chip. please let us know how they cast and swim when yer done.

Last Cast, No, Really!
