Got a friend heading up North to find toothy critters in a few months. Gotta help a brother out right?

Oh they swim pretty nice :mrgreen:

I wouldn't dare ever say they swim as good as larry's though. Those things rock. Mine definitely do look alive in the water I can say that.

Rhett,

Many people that I've seen doing Whiggley's are coming up with there own nose ring variation to slide the leader through and belly hook as Larry does. Some people even just use some Owner Twist Locks in the nose which I'm sure might work for a little while before tearing up but just wondered how you were rigging them as I didn't see any hardware in the nose. If its proprietary, no worries, just wondering.

Great patterns. You got me thinking that we should throw a post out there to invite AlumiDusters to post on the MakeLure gallery there favorite dustilicious creations.

Looking very nice, Rhett! How much softener did you use in those? If that's ok to ask?

I do a centerpin (owner) in the nose that i screw in before I clear coat. My buddy wanted to try his own rigging method with these ones (basically insert a straw to slide the leader through with a single treble hook.

No secrets here! I think larry's method for riggin' provides for the best action!

Hey Fogel, I just basically do a 20% dilution.
