Personally if I wanted a Zuker I'd just buy one rather than looking for a copy of one.

These are called Mrs Palmer mother in law...that's a Pacific Baitfish series lure??

Here some plugs I machined up some time back but just the big bullet has been cast in moulds and some sold...

The big off set is in the moulding process now....Smaller bullet next...

Bit slow with doing jobs on my boat and making up big chilly bins

Big off set ...Narrower than zuker 5.5 .......Slightly longer ...I might try weighting just the bottom half.......Views Please..........Cheers Phillip

What about epoxy heads? Do people avoid using epoxy because of break down and yellowing from UV? There is now some pretty good super clear and durable epoxies that are a lot less prone to yellowing and UV degradation. Would imagine it could handle the knocks a lot better than poly? Whole lot less toxic as well. Quite a few being made from plant based materials now.

Hi
I have some heads done with several types of epoxy and many have a wet look with tiny waves that cannot be polished out..
Fish wont care but many want them perfect and another thing is people use polyesters that are very clear yet go and add colour to it..

If colouring I use the likes of easy cast that arrived clear and hardener took on an amber look but good to tint.........Phillip

My Parents Parents came  from Norway so it's  a brand name that's making its own id.....

The first 150 or so i made have no id and many last year went out late season for trials so more reports will be expected shortly...Well i hope as with running last season NO one got a fish .........So mine were by that just a good as any others.....L o L

Thanks that what i  needed is other point of view....i rigged one recently for a client and could not decide if weighted or not...It was an original
Cheers Phillip

So with the recent talk of offset leader holes I decided to knock one out as a prototype for testing.  This one is 350mm overall, the head is 42mm x 66mm so is shorter and fatter than a Zucker.





And this one is a "Time Bomb" 4 ounce jet head bullet.
