Hey Larry,
Starting to get back in circulation, now that my health is coming back. Never, ever let anyone tell you dialysis is anything but a great thing. I feel better than I have in 4 years.
I'm thinking of trying to create my version of Mr. Whiggley, but I want to try and pattern it after an eel. I don't mean the typical jerkbait, but an actual facsimile of an American eel. In the spring, trout and redfish down here feed on emergent sand eels and elvers. I thought it would make an interesting experiment.
I'm just wondering if I should keep the plastisol formulation in it's "out of the jug" consistency, or load it up with softener. Is there any other way to get the "slinky" action of an eel, or does the forked tail of the original Whiggley give it that action? I am going to try and keep the entire design around 6 inches.
Cal
