Ben Franklin says hello

Finished these up with some random foam bodies i had laying around for a little color to the rig. That's all Folks!!!

I texas rigged the drakes at the club over the weekend while I had down time watching TV in the evening after working in the marsh. I bought all the rigging supplies from SNL corp in FL and poured 4 ounce weight.
