Just wanted to post something a friend and I got into over the weekend. Through-wiring and weighting factory swimmers like Redfins, Mambo-minnows, old Top Guns, Bombers, etc...
This is something I tried in the past but didn't have the right materials. This time, with the correct tools, I think they came out really nice. My friends source makes the loaded Redfins based off the method put up on I think another site a while ago, and he knew Ron who used to make them back in the day.
Anyway... Here are my finished 2 unloaded but they are through-wired and filled with foam for a little extra weight but mostly to prevent water from filling the cavity.
Anybody have any experience doing this, or even catching a cow on one of these plugs? Would love to hear about it.
