here it is, I made it with a dremel and some a ton of sanding and Used spray paint. I wanted a plug with a bigger profile than the gibbs polaris 3 1/2 oz. My is 8" and weighs 3 3/4 oz.
what do you guys thinks. please be honest, I have no problem being critqued. Oh yeah i haven't put envirotex on yet.

thanks for the compliments. I just put envirotex on last night. I will be getting a lathe very soon.:)

nice job on the popper. belly hook looks like its in the right spot
Hows does it float.? If You floated it Yet

I accidently took to much off of one side when i was sanding, so I put a little split shot in the other side to balance. I aslo put a little split shot in the back. now it floats great and cast good too!
:D

as long as it work right the bass dont care:)

i hear that!!!:D

i got some polaris type poppers i made in early 90's when I lived in falmouth.
I used those dowels and pored lead right in the belly towards the back.
they casted a mile with a p229 and caught
one of My fav colors for popper is yellow with a read head
and white with a blue head.
I used ace hardware flo yellow and green for the toothy ones

just so happens I work at an ace hardware!!

see your all set:D

Very good for the First Plug Ever. BUT, you have to remember;
"Ace is the place for the Helpful Hardware Man"!!!
