winter danny project.....danny's only talk here...show and tell

[BigDeuce]

I love Ed's plugs, top of this page ed made some "slender" ones that looked pretty killer

Small Danny variations. These are 4.75 inches long, Pink/white are 1.4 oz, yellow is 1.6 oz and also has a split shot midway between lip and hooks, all 3 are also center weighted.  Yellow one has a Danny 1 lip with standard bend, pink/white have Danny 1 lip that is bent to same angle as a Lefty 1 lip.  They just came back from a swim, pink/white ones swim right on the surface, yellow came in 2-3 feet down. I have had good success with the surface swimming ones, I made the yellow one to get down under the white water quickly on days when there is alot of wave action. I mostly fish open sand beaches and off jetties, although thanks to the ACOE there are not as many fishable jetties as there used to be.

Looking good Tom,

You need a sexy, trendy, marketing name for your style of Dannies, with the flat sides......maybe Flathead. Or Buzzcut. Or High and Tight. That's a real signature effect you got going there. Pink and white is always a fave, and what more can you say about yellow? It's yellow!

 

I just cleaned out the garage, time to make chips.

this is what I got done this winter as far as Dannies go. Got a few other colors too. Top one is a foot long and for a specific spot, place, rock.

Steel Pulse , like the thin blue one, how long is that one?

 

Ed, you know yellow works in our area because our water is always so clear and clean,lol.

The thin blue one is actually a Pichney Eely copy that I reweighted different and put on a new lip. I want it to perform more like a danny so i am changing things up. I love the profile so i said why not.

I wonder where David got that idea.

I fish more Donny (preferably slim) style but I do like large Dannys. Fish on em seem a bit more earned.

The slim danny above the eely looks spot on too!

those are nice Frank.

 

Yeah i made a bunch of those slimmer dannies this winter after i proto'd one last 2 years cause George was doing so well with his slimmer Donnie's. i do prefer the dannies over the Donnie's. George is opposite. Had a couple real good fish from shore on them. I use a schoolie lip on them fits perfect. I am finding a few plugs that like that lip.

Its just preference I suppose. I opt for Donnys but like dannys as well. I remember a photo of you and a fish on a slim danny. 6X is tough on some of the slim stuff I've made though.

My first attempt at a Danny, and I need a little help. Should I epoxy before or after putting the lip on and thru wiring?
