The big plugs are cool, but I have to admit the largest plug I ever saw was hanging down at the SaltWater Edge in Newport. Must be 4' long.

Yes I think it is a black one. What a monster. When I was turning this plug I just locked down the 5x5 and away I went. Didn't knock the corners off first but should have. Kind of an scary feeling seeing that large piece of wood spinning and getting ready to hit with the gouge. I am going to buy a bed extension for my lathe this spring. Then the 32" pikie will be spawned.

:kewl: its nice to seee plugs that cant be used. In art school we would be calling this 'denying the piece it's function'... thus making it more special.
good going!

Cousin Newelly


Can you make a 15 ft Sea Pikie Kayak with a cockpit with room for some fishing gear?

That would be cool!

BigFish

Tagger, I could use Newell Guys plug to throw at the pain in the a$$ surfers down Nantasket! Know what I mean?:uhuh:

stick it in this, get ready, and let it fly! (excuse the cheesy photo please)

when I was in highshool I used to have one and when I went chunking we'd use it to launch out chunks for chumming.... man we caught a lot fish that way...big bass and bloos off Ft. Adams. I've never seen anyone else do this trick to this day, but it works.

Hey Newel I hate to break it to you but her sister is pregnant. :laughs: :laughs: :laughs: Can I keep the big one on my boat so I can use it as a life preserver if I fall in?

Very Pretty, maybe even beautiful :D
