Been working on these for a while had to customize my mold a little,shorten the frame wire on both hook and blade ends used a #1 mustad 3366 hook instead of 1/0 and am using a twisted eye frame instead of the r bend style that’s normal for this size bait 1/8 oz and using a ball bearing swivel in stead of the standard crane type that just wasting time on the porch

Looks nice to me and you know how experienced I am;). Yesterday I read an article where the host advocates bending his store bought ones open further as it increased his hook-up ration. It looks to me that this version could open to 90+ degrees. I'm excited to see the results and how it works for you. What type, if any, trailers do you plan to use.

Probably no trailer but easy to add if wanted and I tried to locate the end of the blade away from the end of the hook I’m trying to keep the presentation as small as possible
