    Nice looking plug. Looks about 35 years old? I seem to remember some metal lip swimmers that have that name as well. Never fished them but looks like they would dig in well in a rip or behind a curl.

    ^^^^^^
    Nice site and info. Thanks.

    I was looking for a small wood darter, that was like the only one I could find.
    Saltys has a kit for it. 1 Oz Little Buggereno,
    Think I will make a couple this winter.
    That plug has hooks out the wazoo. Salty's has 1 treble and a swash.

    Great plug, I do Saltys 1 oz. and 3 oz. version the kits are through wired good in heavy current they don't take much of a beating though if you over epoxy them they don't dart right.I haven't fished the 1 oz. yet but did get some schoolies on the 3 oz. on the backside of Demo. Silver base coat then Chartreuse with some light gold fogged in with a black back worked well.I just painted a red head/yellow one waiting to epoxy it.The bass tend to follow it before hitting so just keep reeling until they commit to it.

    Thanks Stix. I always have the urge to put too heavy an epoxy coat on. Will go light.
    I want the smallest profile, thinking lightly dressed siwash. Guess I have to have something on the rear. 2 trebles on it?

    Make sure you epoxy the hook holders in or they will rip out I don't believe that is a through wired plug

    Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again

    Nice looking plug there let us know if it works if you make one. Surfstix that must be an awesome thing to hook a fish on some plug you yourself made.

    Yeah it is good to catch on something you built I modify a lot of the kits now different lips and weighting just to see if I can get it to swim just a little differently you win some and lose the rest,but you won't know unless you try.The Buggereno kit is through wired they are made from cypress.You can use a siwash on the back.
