blueshark Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I added the lower hanger for boat use or deeper water ...it can easilt come off leaving the top...the rear blade makes it have a wide searching swim action ~~~~><(:> ! }>< little over an 1oz. I changed the lead profile slimmer like the real deal, skims the bottom if you let it sink. chicken scratch is slightly larger ...still drying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueshark Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 thanks the idea was to stop losing the plastic tails, but get that deep sandhugging low swim they do with the tail waggling.... heres the finished 'scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippylures Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 sweet looking, but I do not want to try to get it out of a bluefishes mouth I learned all I want to know about Islam on 9.11.01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueshark Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 the bottom hook can come off for blues invading...otherwise its set up as a rubber shad hook.... rear hook , that can be added too..siwash with no belly hook I could turn the siwash upside down or point up to skim the bottom...

johnny ducketts Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 stupid question, but is the top hook just inserted into a groove and then filled in with wood filler or plumbers epoxy?

Winch Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 stupid question, but is the top hook just inserted into a groove and then filled in with wood filler or plumbers epoxy? Not a stupid question but questions that should be asked and answered if this forum is really about helping each other rather than showing off a look at me photo. Sweet plug design Shark.

minivin5 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Awesome plug!, nice to see the adaptation to your original version. What you do with your time is more important than the amount of time you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshark Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 hmm I sent a response to you 'stupid question' from my pda but it didnt show... the only stupid question is the one not asked I use a 1/4 forstner bit to drill several OOOOOO's along the back then carefully connect them as a groove then drill a tail wire so it comes to the back of the groove for the tail wrap...and a hole in the belly for the hangar..all the wires connect to the 6/0 jig hook for support so its got 3 points of support.... I put weight in the front bottom and behind the belly hangar so the plug rides like a clouser [ visit fly forum ] and yes I either use a thin level [self leveling] along the bottom of the grove once the wires /hook are in place....[ if you let the epoxy get a little thick it wont run out the bottom hole ] 5 min epoxy to set hook level , then plumbers epoxy to fill and shape the top contour... they have a wide searching swim almost like a ss darter with the metal tail with the flaptail it..er ah flaps ! if slow on the surface it really makes a noise...without the belly hook they skim bottom... sorry for the late response...no secrets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
