http://www.geocities.com/acoaxet14/WONDERBREAD.html

I'm clearcoating today....if I get time later I'll give you a pic of 200 plugs all at once :D

snow plugs:D

eben - top danny is perfect! :D


#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& - 200 plugs at once :drool:

:hee:

GIMMIE :D :rolleyes:

The Cape sams quartet:D

JUST finished the last of my Pikie Lips. :crying: Those 3 bodies have primer drying (freezing?) outside.
Now I want to work through my 10 Danny and 6 Danny Jr (lefty) lips. Those Jr's will go on another batch of "Chubsters" and I'm trying to think of something else other than the traditional Danny to use the large on.
Can't get PIKIE out of my mind though! I've brainwashed myself! Everytime I go to the lathe and let my mind wander I end up with a general Pikie / Surfster shape! Don't think those wide bodies would work with a Danny lip. Just not right...can't do it.
Must think outside the Pikie box..:huh:
BTW and this is cool...Been suffering through a runny nose while turning in the cold basement. Come upstairs and all done into the dry heat and within a half hour when the boogers dry up mixed with sawdust I'M BLOWIN WOOD I COULD BURN OUT MY NOSE!:eek5:

Note to self: Buy more dust masks ~

re Ebens Plugs,
If you look real close you can see the Angel HALO's around the heads of the poppers , and they are playing in the snow. Coincidence?:angel:

Surfster,
There is no known cure, and no intervention group for your addiction. You will have to just learn to live with your "habit". :D

but seriously though, make sure u use a dust mask with a good filter,its really important.

:crying: :crying: no more, you're killing me!

u had enough??...john's gonna scalp me.

:btu: :kewl: :kewl: wonderbread = mine

I feel like I'm looking at the Sistine Chapel here. Cape, you're truly the Michelangelo of plugmaking :btu:

Those are stunning. I'd never be able to fish those plugs, they are works of art.

tinman..that's just sys3 with a splash of acidtone in it..thins it just enough so you can put it on without a stiff brush.and the acidtone get's rid of all the bubbles before you even start to apply the clear coat.

it's to bad I suuck at pic taken cause the glidda an true colors don't show...need a blue lite, but I'm not payin $35.00 for a blub that goes poof if u look at it wrong.

txs. guy's,,,all spray cans/oil.........u can do it too..just TAKE YOUR TIME.

Tried a few needles ( fat ones) small ones are 5" and 2 1/2 ozs, big ones are 8" and 4 1/2 ozs. ( sink like rocks) oil paints and SB-112 for epoxy ( jury still out on how I like it)

http://www.#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&/images/plugs/plugrack3.jpg

made some bottle darters and finished with oil and SB 112, kind of pissed SB 112 didn't perform well at all. Orange peel even though I had basement up to 72 degrees. ( wife is gonna kill me when the electric bill comes in:laughs: ) After an hour when it looked terrible I took some acetone and brushed plugs down to smooth them out. Looks a little better. Pikies and dannies were done with mirror coat and came out very nice.

dunno why pic not showing up it's on my server?

hmmm it works on an attachment but not external link?

mmmmm ratty's favorite

After the fiasco with the SB 112 I dropped a plug on the floor ( of course it was wet) so I took my frustration out on it. I feel better now

im bout to passout lookin at all of these.

Oh Ya Guzz awsome work and Bernzy forkage of the plugage
LI,,,,,,,,,if You read this thanks for the plug in HEMAN BM fish colors
I guess You been following what get fish for me.
:D

AYC and spruce. 5" long. Some weighted in the tail and chin some no weight. Experimenting.

BA I gots to Ho You:btu:

Bassmaster, since i only fish bait, i check the fish to see what color paint is in their teeth, that how i decide what colors to paint my lures.

BA,
oh man are those poppers ever freakin' sweet!!!! i think i just peed my pants:( very nice work!

guzz

BA...may I ask what paint your using...very very nice...:eek:

BA- 3rd one down has caught me:D

I've been playing with popper weight lately too and i've come to the conclusion that a popper that just about sinks is best. if they are too bouyant, the lure wont look like a natural baitfish, instead most of the lure will sit on top of the water.... just my 10¢

I guess it's all preference but I find a popper that sinks forces you to work it faster which may be suitable in certain situations but not all. I like to have some poppers that are weighted so that the bottom half of the plug is submerged, that way I can work it slow on top (like a wounded rather than a fleeing baitfish) along a jetty or to entice lazy fish to come and get it:)

Cape Sams those are cheap acrylics that I thin with a solution of water, isopropyl and a bit of dish detergent.

Thanks Guzz, I still owe you a plug, I am slow :blush:

TXS...with my luck the water would spill on the floor, the alcahol wouldn't make it in to the paint[burp] an I never get close to soap....very nice paint jobs indeed.

Great work BA!... :btu:

BA great stuff as always.....Keep up the good stuff .......Now about a certain needlefish I saw..............Ray:happy: :happy:

BA, those look great:eek:

Yeah, Yeah ;)
One of them is yours but you'll have to take it as is since they haven't been tested. Yes, the needle with the mylar stripe down the side. At the rate I build plugs you may have it next fall:p

Cool knuckleheads BA :kewl: Glad to see you turning some again :happy:

I have one of Mr. Pogies bottle plugs. the picture doesn't do them justice. Kevin does the best paint bar none. Can't tell you how the plug swims though, I'm afraid I'll cry if I lose it :(

BM, we'll work out a deal when I get them where I want them. Of course I won't ship any plugs until I receive one from you first:D

Ray, thanks for the heads up;) :D

BA, those casting swimmers that mrpogie does swim as good as they look :D I would recommend throwing one.

One day I will.:uhoh:
(in shallow water;) or from a boat :)

Hey Eben, that Sylvester when you make one are you going to through wire it or use the eye screws? I just can't get myself to trust eye screws? or the double screw hook holder. Maybe I'm just a scaredie cat.

I'll through them. I used to use sceweyes, but I'd hate to loose a 50 due to equipment failure.

that's what I'm talking about. I don't think I'll find a fish to break the welding rod I use or the 4H split rings. They're rated for 95+ pounds and the swivels are rated for 90 lbs. so That's much safer. But hey I guess they worked in the old days buy they had some losses because of it.

I think some companys still use them on the cheaper stuff though.

Buyer beware I guess. Thanks for the feed back. Show us a pick when you make one of your own. Thanks

Armand

Tagger-- How about a pic of those primed plugs when they are painted ,epoxied and turning in your 50 foot drying box?:D

Here's some of my new stuff...

The squid is weighted like a needle and the other lures are a new prototype I've been working on tentativly named the Lazy Fish.

-DAve

thoes '' lazy fish '' look crazy!! how do they swim?

After watching the infamous "Fluke Footage" from last years night out, I wanted to make a lure that acted like an oblivious bait fish. They sink very slowly, wobbling all the way, when you pick up the rod tip they wobble up. On a "needle Slow" retrieve they wiggle from side to side, and can be made to resemble a frightened bait fish when worked erratically like a slug-go. The only problem is they are really time consuming and made of expensive mahogany. I am experimnting with other woods now.

I hope they catch something, or else they will end up hanging off my mirror or something :p

-Dave

New poppers done :)

yeah they do look tuff to make...do u go from a square of wood? or carve by hand?

Hmmm... That might be possible :heybaby:

Let me do some more testing with other woods... I am almost out of Mahogany.. and I'm scared to buy more.:eek:

-DAve

Don't worry Russ, Your first in line :D

-Dave

when your ready, you no what todo :hihi:

Oh... you were talking to Salty heehhe

It's even more that that, I have to make the lure from two thin pieces with the weight sandwiched in the middle. I also have to rout a groove for the through wire because there is no way I could dril that plug I don't have the skills :p and then it's 25 minutes at the sander and 3 days of blowing the mahogany dust out of my sinuses. But it is fun...:happy:

-Dave

No no no i was talking to both of you :rolleyes:


Jr Link

ok.... hehehe GOOD SAVE!!

You're on the list...

-Dave
