This a hand carved Wood O I make .I use this plug in saltwater for large stripers.It can be trolled or fished on top.Thru wired with316SS ,4/0 4X VMC,metal lip plug is made from alkaska cypres which I believe to be one of finest woods to use for a swimmer..I was asked to this by a fisherman who uses this site.Hopefully I can post a picture and he will get to see this plug.It is going in the mail this morning.This the first time I have made this plug for the sweetwater and really believe it is going to do quite well.

Nice work Gary, wire thru construction, beautiful shapes and proportions. I don't care for the tinned hooks and maybe bigger eyes. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words guys.If I made a bunch of these for the sweetwater I would probably put a freshwater type hook on it as the Capt said.This plug has been a salt water plug and that is the hook that the guys need and want for big bass.Anything else would not be stronge enough.
thanks again
