Why the pistol grip? I've switched to trigger grips on my spinnerbaits years ago? I still plastic worm fish with 5 1/2 ft pistol grips.

I've got 3 Deadly Dudley "skimmers"; the flat-headed true buzz bait version. 2 of them have never been tied on. Buzzing was the first term i heard when the lure splattered water across the surface. Charlie Campbell gave me my first "waking" term when I first read about his 1/4 oz. C.C. Spinner with a #6 cupped blade that would create a wake while remaining below the surface.

I have caught Northerns with the blades clamped in their mouths with both the main hook and trailer hook securely buried under their chin.
