These 3 are from a batch of blanks I got from NJT. Ready for clear coat then epoxy. Hopefully finish them in time for the herring run. Not too bad once I was able to remedy the bubbling/cracking paint (thanks everyone).
View Full Version : My 1st Batch Moses 04-08-2004, 09:19 PM These 3 are from a batch of blanks I got from NJT. Ready for clear coat then epoxy. Hopefully finish them in time for the herring run. Not too bad once I was able to remedy the bubbling/cracking paint (thanks everyone). Moses 04-08-2004, 09:21 PM These next three are all my own. Trying to go for the "Spook" look. All painted and ready for clear coat. Obviously a work in progress...... Moses 04-09-2004, 07:11 AM C'mon, someone must have an opinion. Critiques? afterhours 04-09-2004, 07:20 AM then spooklike lure in the background looks interesting to me , hopefully mr/mrs bass will agree. nice job. Slipknot 04-09-2004, 07:27 AM Good job Moses :btu: see, it ain't that hard to do. I like those spooks and the colorful wire hangers;) Now finish them up and put eyes and hooks on them. Surfster 04-09-2004, 07:29 AM Your gonna like the way those NJT plugs swim. I included one in an order of supplies around Christmas just to try. Liked it so much I did more myself. Those spooks look spookalishous. Did you weight them anywhere? Christian 04-09-2004, 09:23 AM :D Moses 04-09-2004, 11:20 AM I put a small shot of lead in the behinds on the spooks since they taper from head to tail. Need to check exact weight. My goal is to have them sit at a 25-30 degree angle in the water, head up. Also still trying to determine best size hooks? Two trebles? Or one beliy treble and tale siwash? Big spook is about 7.25" long and small is just over 6" long. Tagger 04-09-2004, 03:02 PM HOLY MOSES.. sorry .. great start...lets see them again when your finished ,, :btu: justplugit 04-09-2004, 07:51 PM Nice MOSES,really nice colors.I like the black and white guy.With a coat of epoxy it will look awesome!:D thefishingfreak 04-10-2004, 04:50 PM nice!! that green and yellow one is sure to get some attention! the fish will definitly see that one a mile away:) Moses 06-16-2004, 08:30 PM Finally applied clear coat and epoxy. Fished the NJTs but not the "spooks" yet. Heading down Chatham area tomorrow thru saturday and hope to catch a fish on something I did myself. Below are NJTs.... Moses 06-16-2004, 08:31 PM Spooks below, first batch is screw eyed since I don't own a lathe or drill press. Future batches will be thru wired I hope.... Backbeach Jake 06-16-2004, 09:27 PM Yessss! Now you're talking! Catch0 06-16-2004, 09:39 PM Those are AWSOME:D :D :D MAC 06-16-2004, 10:11 PM They look great:kewl: Jigman 06-17-2004, 07:08 AM Look good to me :happy: See how those spooks work. You might want to taper the tail end a little more if you do not get the action you are after. May be start the taper about a 1/3 the way back. How are they weighed? I like them to sit slightly tail down at may be a 10 degree angle. If they work like you want them too :) if not, those are some ideas to try out. Jigman John E 06-17-2004, 07:11 AM Very nice Moses. :tm: Looks like we got another one addicted. ;) bassmaster 06-17-2004, 10:57 PM :btu: like the pink:) BigFish 06-19-2004, 11:18 AM Pretty sweet looking plugs Moses....real nice work!
