grooved chin

Two more experiments in jerkbaits .
Both lures have in common to have grooves cut into their chin to generate a popping noise and splash , when twitched or slightly jerked "on the spot" .
For this purpose they are tail-weighted , or , in other words , I took over designs , that just ought to be swimming tail down for proper function 
.
Both lures fulfill this design target , even though the black/silver/orange one turned out to float up a little improper 
.
The lure with a tailfin is an own design , in fact it was the first jerkbait design , I've made without any knowledge at all many years ago , and it caught some small pike:yes: !
As said before , one can work these lures almost "on the spot" to tease a pike to strike , but also jerk them coming back in a "walk-the-dog" or "glider" style .
The lure with the tail fin dives down to 3 to 5 feet on constant jerking , darting unpredictably to either direction , also ocassionally overturning on a sharp jerk .
The "orange head" lure pops , splashes and darts 1 1/2 feet down on a sharp jerk , on constant twitches it "walks-the-dog" , either on surface or a few inches below , depending on intensity and direction of rod movements 
.
I had posted this two lures somewhere in a thread before in a blank condition , but can't find the thread no more , even with all search functions I haven't been successful 
.
Somebody out there remembers ? Would be glad about telling me where !
