I added a little over 10 grams of weight to the belly of the maples and they both swim much nicer now. I'm not sure that they will be great plugs in fast current but definitely seem to want to get...

Thanks George! I did try a version of the maple with the left 2 lip which I preferred over the pike lip on the pine version but it seemed to swim almost identically to the one with the pikie 2 lip. ...

Hi Billy,

Right now I've got no weight in the maple Donnys. From what I've been able to find out the originals were unweighted.

Only 6x VMC or 5x Mustads for me. I've had 15 pound fish bend 3/0 4x hooks and I'm not talking about areas with heavy current. I used to think the 4/0 4x were pretty good but they were getting...

They are weighted to sit pretty level in the water but I bet the increased lift will still come into play. I went through about 18 different versions of an 8" needled before deciding what I wanted. ...

Was the can kept cold?

I want to make a larger version of a needlefish and I have been thinking about how to upsize the plug while keeping the characteristics (sink rate, angle, etc…) the same. My first thought was that I...
