Nice, whats the weight?
it's a little light 1 1/4 hooked up it's 1 3/4 still needs a test swim.
thanks
Thar's cool. A lot of the metal lips are heavier and you need a bigger stick to throw them. This one should be perfect for a lighter setup.
Very weellll done, congrats
I bet on a cloudy day that thing will be a fish magnet, nice work!
nice colors bro...
nice job sure it will swim as good as it looks after all it has a real lip

Surprised to see that you guys missed something …what’swrong with the plug in the pic …..it’s the first thing my swim tester fixed
The through wire is not parallel with the lip I told DS that before didn't want to upset you in post #9 and it has no hooks since you asked. Been tuning plugs since the 60's . I was taught by some of the best builders god rest there soles.
So do I win the plug only kidding but do like the paint job.

you are correct finchaser ...my buddy twisted it horizontal to the lip ....I did not know it. feel free to tell me as it is...I just learning as I go
no problem any time
Never bend the lip only the wire, up to make the plug dive ,down to make it swim higher. I just did a few RM Smiths for xtreme _visions

You made your first mistake there, Madcaster, asking Fin to "tell it as it is".... hope ya got some thick skin and can take a little abuse..... as he had some other advice for ya we discussed over the phone today.....
****
Seriously, folks....
The thing about Fin, is he is one of the most honest and candid people I know out there...
He sugar coats nothing...
Is brutally honest....
And his stinging ascerbic commentary is at times worse than a beating from Mike Tyson...
I think in society in general today, we have gotten away from the concept of honesty,. and at times we are too polite with one another...where does that get us when we really need honest feedback about something...
Like if we really do smell as bad as people say...
Or if we need to brush our teeth more...
Or are a little too loud at times...
Or drink a little too much at parties...
Or stare at the wife's friends too much when there is a pool party....
Or have a business idea and want to know it's merits and weak points...
Yup....who would ya rather have in your corner in the above situations....
Someone who always kisses your butt?
Or someone who tells it like is is.....Like the OGB Finchaser.....
dark the waders stood up by them self ... and lets not get started here bro ..!!!!!
^^ Another one with the honesty.... You and George Washington cannot tell a lie...
Guess I do smell a bit...at times....
its ok dark dont care what fin said about you ....lmao...
^ Yeah but you don't see the "me" as I usually am...when I came to see ya that day I made sure I took a shower that day and used extra soap....
