I'm going to do a custom run of B-17 or B-17J (large Bombers) but it costs a lot per plug to do, so I'm looking for suggestions. I don't want to be stuck with 600 plugs that don't sell.

What pattern would have widest appeal? Keep in mind most people live in NY & NJ so it has to be popular there.

I was leaning towards doing a large Jointed Schoolbus or a Jointed Blurple. The B17 Blurple is already out there.

Thanks crazy plug people.....:D

"Chicken scratch" for NY. Light yellow/off white with the broken stripes on the flanks. Very popular here but apparently not in some other locations.

This spring when I was fishing almost every tide at c-town, the baby striper color(bumblebee yellow with the chicken scratch marks and a black back) outfished every plug in the bag 4 to one... I even went out and bought the lighter chicken scratch colored plug and there was no comparison. I'm not sure if that color is make in the B-series, but if not, it would be killer :D:

Wish I was fishing that much now :smash:

i think since SWE brought back the black/purples, all my bomber needs have been met. of course, i'll buy a few dozen if you get some customs made up. :smash:

how about some black 7" red fins? i have only 2 left..... :bc:

Thanks everyone -
I've got some good suggestions....

I'm aware of the history of the Red Fin and I know that it still produces - but I have only so much money to spend. Someday though, I hope to have lots of custom lures from the major manufactures.
