Rory, try attaching the lure to the trace via a NT swivel(or similar) and split ring. I have the larger version of your lure and the extra weight up front definately helps to get the nose digging in....]]> Sun, 06 Feb 2011 10:59:32 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61973&PID=894574&title=black-sheep#894574 <![CDATA[Black sheep........ : A couple of videos on working...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61973&PID=886299&title=black-sheep#886299 Author: Bunzo

Nice Legacy, quite a collectors lure. How does the lure sit at rest? As this will most likely give you an idea of what action to expect...Looking at the tow piont and belly section it gives me the impression it will "skitter" when you sweep the rod...Nice lure to have thoBig smile]]> Sat, 22 Jan 2011 18:03:48 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61973&PID=885876&title=black-sheep#885876 <![CDATA[Black sheep........ : Tried Sid , Falco and Ginga&#039;s...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61973&PID=885209&title=black-sheep#885209 Author: Legacy

Tried Sid , Falco and Ginga's ideas briefly ( bad back ) this morning . Preference is to put a 3/0 on the belly and a v.slow sweep find it swims really good , misses some of the really good action 2/0s give it  but more control over the whole distance. Falco's idea gives it a fairly straight retrive but still a fish catching action I think , Ginga's idea actually ended up looking similar to Falco's on the water , slightly more of a side to side swim . I still want it to swim like a stickbait so I'll try the 3/0 on the belly again and also using the 2/0 and maybe even customising a hook with some fly tying lead .Thanks for the good advise , all three ideas were working way better than what I originally had happening.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 11:16:46 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61973&PID=885209&title=black-sheep#885209 <![CDATA[Black sheep........ : I think maybe you might be trying...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61973&PID=884864&title=black-sheep#884864 Author: ginga

I think maybe you might be trying to hard to get it to swim, i seen one in action today and looks more like a walk the dog style lure.
I would just work the rod from side to side and have it walking across the surface with its nose out of the water.

short flicks of the rod tip , almost like tapping and a constant wind of the reel , I only tried it the once on a small popper but found it a really diffficult action to get right, something else to practice.Carpenters dvd has them using this technique for pencil poppers.

I havent seen any of the DVD's so not sure,but it sounds similar to what you say about keeping the killer sub surface,although its not a sweep just flicking the rod tip straight down short and sharp without a pause. ]]> Thu, 20 Jan 2011 15:40:22 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61973&PID=884722&title=black-sheep#884722 <![CDATA[Black sheep........ : Falco , like the carpenter dvd...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61973&PID=884704&title=black-sheep#884704 Author: Legacy

Has a wide as belly section and tends to get a bit of lift off that and easy to get a bit of a tumble skip rather than dig its nose in proper. Thats what I find anyways. Calm water and a more relaxed seep seems to work good. 

Try bigger hooks particularly on the belly section. Bit of a finickity lure, but then I find carpenter also misbehave as well.
