Thank y'all for the compliments.

I have been running some line through the eye when I am done, just to clear out any cement or make sure I can get a line through. I need to focus more on not crowding the eye so I don't have to worry about it.

I fished with that beetle last Saturday and caught 2 bass and a bluegill on it. As soon as that beetle hit the water for the first time, I had a bass on it. I was pretty tickled.
