Title: Conrad and Conrad jr.
Post by: Out Fishing on March 12, 2015, 10:28:43 AM

I recently picked up a few Conrad sr and Conrad jrs. i have been toying with the idea of increasing the weight of both. I thought maybe adding it to the chin not sure if i should just keep it centered. Any thoughts?

Hi Jim, I think you could add a little weight into them but wouldn't go too much. Your going to ruin the action of some really sweet swimmers. Danny is of course passed on but I copied those to make them the same as the originals. Would be cool to talk plugs with the guy if we still could.

I sealed and glued the weights in,I do believe your right. That sr is going to be sick off the jetty. The junior I'm a little skeptical. It weighted in exactly at 2oz on my triple beam. Are the Conrad jr's turned out of something different than the Conrad sr's?

Yes they are different as were the originals.


They swim great as is.
