885, Tilapia plug sneak preview
Posted by brian, Fri Nov-15-02 12:48 AM
Got chris' tilapia plug all primered up today, and I was gonna take a picture of it as is, but decided to torture you guys a little more. Here's a silhouette of it. I should be able to paint it and finish it later tonight and have it ready for field testing tomorrow. Hopefully it'll swim. I'm kind of stressing on that, but I got it to float real nice and straight, so hopefully I can mess around with bill shapes and get it to kick real good.

Dude, I'm drooling. That shape is truly real life. I can't wait to see how you made that dorsal fin. The last El Salto trip that got back this week, a couple guys absolutely hammered 5-10 lb. fish on the Osprey. Those fish have not seen very many big swimbaits or plugs. Hard to believe, but true. Cranks, blades, big plastics are all the norm, but the big bait potential down there has yet to scratch the surface.
