....squiddies!
6" and 2.25oz.....birch.....will test before painting! :D

Top one shows where body hook and lead will go.

nihhce:)

nice! Glad to hear you are gong to test them before painting:D: I only had AYC laying around (which we all know is very bouyant) so I needed a lot of lead. I've been using .531 caliber musket balls and thought 2 would be good, but it turned out I needed 3.

On the next batch I'm going to weight and wire them so the eyes and head are in the back.

Oh... one plug please for design royalties:huh:

nice looking squid

Yes I made it a couple weeks ago for an art show... Not to toot my own horn, but it won 1st Prize:D

Eben.. real nice on that squid...
CS, U too.
Picture doesn't do that plug justice

sooooo! the price just went up huh!.....congrats, alway's nice to win.

anyway..thanks for the kind words boys.
*newsflash* got an airbrush today! Squids will be the first to get the squirt...soon as I figure out how to use it right!

Now I return youz to the Hijack...."how much for the squid Eben!"
HOW MANY PLUGS IS IT GOING TO TAKE!

Cape~ster ... How does the one with the metal lip swim? I was a wondering what to do with these. I have Danny style and Pikie lips. I also considered a darter body. In the end I think I'll go with the sinker twitch / pencil theory. ...Thoughts? Anyone?

Nice stuff (all three of you guys) CS you just gave me an idea.

SUrfster, sorry for the Hijack... although.. the topic was squids:D:

Sorry but the squids stayin at home..If I make some smaller ones I i'll let you know:D:

Raben ,,,,ya killin me,,I can't sleep or do nothin right, knowing thats out there...I gotta have one before this happens ta me:jump1: Ok let's face it,,I'm already there.

Well ... if you Gotta have one, then...... um.... well....

here! A picture is worth a thousand hoE's:laughs:

Nice squids :happy: Eben :eek: killer glass work. How does it swim :D

One from me. Couple shots of lead in the belly to make it sink. The fins at the front are cut from stainless steel sheet. Twitch the rod tip during retrieve to get it to dart a little. Rubber skirt breathes when it is at rest.

Jigman

Eben: everything you do looks like glass. The finish on those plugs is awesome. That brown needle looks like you used brown glass. Like a re-worked Budweiser bar bottle. Beautiful!!!:drool:

Rocket man... those are capesams plugs... He knows what I'm up to...

right CS:hee:

Jigman, nice squiddie!

u mean I can close my eye's tanite with a smile on my face:confused:

Hmm stainless sheet huh?! VERY good thing I didn't paint yet!
Consider that idea borrowed! :soon: :fishslap:

May go larger though. Might get a nice glide out of it.


Eben...hi jack away! I'm kidding. After all the subject was inspired by seeing yer squiddies :drool:
