XBMX Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Several of the principals of Driftwood are participating members of SOL. They’ll probably chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Hooksetter Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I was told by a friend that he thinks it's a driftwood plug and I asked Charlie K about it but forget what he said. Have a look at this pic,maybe someone will recognize if it is or not. HH Ps- I reworked it because it would not swim,removed the wire and hangers,filled in the void with epoxy and ran screw eyes then epoxy coat and a hand made lip,swims great now. t_man7 1 An armed man is a citizen,,,an unarmed man is a subject,,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason that plug will not swim, I looked at it and looked at it and I'm like I have to rework this whole thing so, I removed the wire the lip the hangers, filled in the void with epoxy and then added screw eyes and made a custom lip from scratch took it fishing and the thing worked perfectly caught a few fish with it too, has great balance and I don't believe it has a belly weight in it anywhere that I can see. Thanks for the get back! You have any pictures of you what you got I'd love to see them in various colors and whatnot.
