When you say things on sites like this more than 1 person is reading the post.

I had to look it up because the double prop Devils Horse isn't one of my favorites.

I need to go look at mine but I think the lighter lure is thinner compared to the heavier model. I just know I have 2 sizes never thought about the weight but the profiles are different as far as diameter. I am not sure about length but that sounds about right.

I think the New Devil's Horse is plastic? I know they local shop has them in several different Color packages from different years under Pradco or Pre Pradco I guess. 

I kind of prefer the Rapala Version better personally, but it is a lure that requires Patience & if I have to choose a prop I love that Bagley's bang o lure Prop but have never done well with the 2 prop models now that I think about it. I like rear props better most times as well.  I have a few made by Cotton Cordell that work well, I forget the name but they make that Smokey Joe color I like and one comes without props or one prop. I am sure you will know what the lure is called. Comes in double,single,and then without a rear blade but a Split shot sized weight on the tail so it is a thin Minnow style lure without a lip that walks...Looks good, never used it much.

I spend way too much time on the bass archive Site. Great post. I learn so much reading that site and love reading about how guys fished back when lure selection was limited, especially resources like books etc...That site is a gold mine of info.

Here is a great article from this site on the Horse.....
