Its been a long wait and I am sorry for taking so long, hopefully it will have been worth the wait. Slingah will post the pictures of my first batch of plugs sometime today. Kind of a big first batch (22 plugs) a mix of needlefish, pencil poppers (I call them "Fatboys" because of their wide profile) and 4 poppers that I mimicked from the old Gibbs v-cut mouthed poppers from yesteryear.:D I just want to thank many of you for your input and tutoring through this process. When I had a question or problem, you were there with an answer or suggestion and because of you all and the wealth of information on this forum, I do believe I did you all proud because without your help, the results would not have been as good as I hope they are. Now I just gotta catch fish on them.....that will be sweet!:happy: So once they are posted, I hope you enjoy!:btu:

I was nealry speechless on the quality of these FIRST RUN ever plugs Larry made. Absolutely impressed and I doubt I could make them look that good after 5 years of trying!

Nice job Big Fish :kewl:

:D sweet!. cant wait to SEE them :)

Bigfish's plugs are top notch. he did a real nice job on the paint. I especially like the baby blue that he put three ofhis plugs.

Thanks JohnR and New Jack for the kind words. Glad you liked them. Nice to see you guys last night. Let me know how that popper works for you JohnR, hope you go large with it!:D

good hue of colors !

Larry the plugs are great you did a great job. I like the yellow one with the red tip in the lower left of the picture. Oh ya I forgot it's in my truck.......:bl: :bl: :bl: :laugha: :laugha: :cheers:

It's about time you shared them with the rest of us.
Now get some fish slime on them when you get done wiping the fishermans' drool off them.:smash:

:eek5: Wow! Those are sweet!

Whoa ,Big Fish ,Whoa-- They are awesome and worth the wait:kewl::bounce:
I think i remember your first comment when you were going to build was "I can make them and save $ over buying them"
How did that work?:bgi: :bl:

I figure with what I got into this new hobby, if I was gonna break even by sellin' them I would have to get about $90.00 apiece!:laugha: I really do enjoy making them though, it is very worthwhile. Now I just gonna hammer fish on them.....I will let you know how that goes as I am gonna take them out this weekend for a long swim down the backside!;) Thanks again for the kind words, it means alot....you all had alot to do with how well they came out as I had alot to live up to!:D

Ya,just don't keep us as long in letting us know how they fish as you did posting the pics:D Hope you catch big.:)

Holy Cow !!. Those are absolutely amazing Larry. I am speechless. You really did your homework, and it shows.
Good luck with them, I am sure you will do quite well this year.
