Really neat. Does it affect the way they swim?

Thanks guys.

numbskull/Tagger,

It may need some tweaking in the back. We'll see once I swim it. It's the same profile as my large darter with the exception of removing stock to form the head shape. I believe it will swim very close to my normal darter. We'll see this weekend at "M".

VB,

I like the rear hooks down. I feel it makes unhooking blues easier. Don't know if it's true or not but for me, it's easier to remove the hook from the bottom jaw then the top one or corner.
