FJR/Jimfish lure
About a year ago, Frank very generously sent me a plug blank to complete for myself.
I had only just begun on this journey of discovery & so did not feel I might do this beautiful blank the justice it deserved.
Now I have a few under my belt, I felt I might be able to do the plug in a fashion that could please the eye (& hopefully the fish's eye!).
The original design is Frank's classic diver, I have taken the liberty of removing the vane, adding more weight to the 'arse' of the lure, to give it a surface, 'walk-the-dog' style action,
Fitted with three meaty trebles, she has the weight to cast well yet moves superbly when twitched on a braid line.
THANKS FRANK!

Nice job Jim, you really did her justice !!! I like your idea of making her walk the dog, I'll have to do some like that in the future.
