I don't even make plugs Slip....but last year I thought that would be cool to combine a wood swimmer with some rubber
there can't be too many new ideas

ac plug. and castiac made plugs along the same idea.
I had a ac plug and though it sucked, I cracked it off of bird #^&#^&#^&#^& rock years back on my way down to the hole via some jucy rocks

I make that exact same plug,,,,only the rubbers in the front with the wood in the back..:rolleyes:

Cutting edge? Pffft! I've been cutting tails off the Rubber Man's Curly tail grubs for a while now to use for that same purpose.:smash: ;)

For those that think your idea was stolen - it sucks doesn't it?

Funny, I didnt complain when everyone started making spook type lures when there was no other company making them through wired for saltwater before me. Nor did I cry and stamp my feet when every jumps on the swirl paint job band wagon, which was done way before I decided to do it.

Check out some musky plugs, this is not a new idea, never said it was.

Nothing is "new", you can only improve on what is there, some do it better than others. Take it or leave it.

Since it's only 1/2 a plug is it going to be 1/2 the price :devil:

-spence

Ya evryone copies my stuff.U don't see me blowin a gasket.:D



Negative NIB:smash:

No double price for Ur silly questions.

Musky plugs???? I gotta get me some crayons.:cool:

Tatoo. Speaking for myself, my post wasn't meant to diss you and Habs plugs in any way shape or form. You guys are making some really nice, quality stuff there.
I'm not a plug maker anyways. I do like to experiment though.
Hell, I even recently used a trimmed down 5 1/2" split tail from the "King of Rubber" for Cod teasers.:D

Well said Tattoo.

I have some big black Musky Jitterbugs i used to use for largemouths at night. I wonder if those would work in a salt pond under a full moon.....hmmmm

I invented swirl paint........................................... and musky plugs. So back off my chit, hombre

krispy, didn't you invent the BUTT-le plug?

BigBo -

No harm done. Two things I have learned....

1 - If you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen.
2 - It's slippery at the top.

well said.

Only so many shapes and shades. Everything goes thru phases, right now it's swirly paint...... Meybe we all need to just learn to enjoy the other fellas interpatation, and not worry about if the chicken came before the egg... all right, so you invented the egg.... :hihi:

gonna be a long winter boys................ Buckle Up! :cool:

where can i find that kind of rubber? i got a superstrike bullet needle and a single hook on it. i am looking for a better rubber to make the action more lively.

No ONE IS GOING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL, The sad part about this is SOME want it all when there is plenty to go around Theres enough pieces of the pie for EVERYONE and no TWO do things the same. Just some seem to see something and copy it right away when no one was doing it. Wait go to the Bourne Bridge paint your self PINK then Jump , How many would follow, Lifes to Short Boys........MERRY XMASS and a Happy New Year..................................Can't we all get along, To some That would be to EASY.

Just to make sure I've got this right...

It's PINK then JUMP?

:smash:

-spence

That is a brilliant plug!!

i'm just pissed that i didnt think of it :smash:

Habs You invented the wheel ,cause Your that old:)

Okay, I am starting a lure company. It's gonna be called, " The I copied Bassmaster who copied Salty who copied Habs who copied Murat who copied Gibbs who copied Capn' Bill's who copied Atom who copied who copied Creek Chub who copied Heddon who copied the Native Americans who copied the Egyptians who copied the Cavemen who copied Lucy who copied a shrew" Lure Manufacturing. What do you think? :smash:

It's all just variation on a theme and there is room for everybody. There is no room for jealousy, back stabbing and bad mouthing. Just make your plugs and let's all enjoy them and share what we have learned. Sheesh!!!!:rolleyes:

Slingah, you're right, there can't be too many new ideas. There are lots of ways to trick a fish into biting a lure and lots of variations of those lures.
I like the name of your new company Flaptail but it's kinda long, you might consider shortening it.
I wonder who was the first person to slide an eelskin onto a plug???
Tat, what's the name of that proto? catch any fish on it yet?
Ya Spence, the color is pink , I think squid pink but you might want to check the patent.
:scatter: :scatter: :usd: :conf:

U have a pearl pencil popper of mine put a pic up.got fish of 31 an 32 lbs on one like it.this yr.Seems My Norton has some kinda block in it I can't click on links but I can add to favorites an pull it up.This also apply's to the upload pictures thing.I know if I look in the book i can figure it out but I got more importantant things to do with my time.I don't make alot maybe 30-50 plugs a yr.so i'am about 9,950 from habs quota.I'm to fussy.i fish the crap an give away the good stufff.I just finished up a dozen for the club chritmas party chinese auction.Not 2 are the same.i made a darter.a squid eye canal pencil popper.pikies,BM style danny's( the best i totally trashed the yellow one i got from u at the mass show30 fish on it a few wekks ago.got em on the green too.thats the only swimmer i need.) a cool cutty hunk type popper i turned off center so it has a cool hump in the back kinda like the giant rebel pop-r's.I also did one of them littl fat BM Pikies.Also did one of them fe fi fo atoms.but it looks more like the dude from conn. thaat used to make em. there's a small swimmer i been worken onthat they make here in jersey throws like a rock an swimms pissa caught a bunch on the proto i made.Maybe i can get one of my more computer savy clubmembers to post a pic for me.If not u can just dream.

nib I know what Your stuff looks like and swims and it is very nice workmanship and pluggage....
I got a needle from ya. I should throw it but I dont, love the colors...
the pencil is the balls to....

O yea well ur danny is my favorite plug it covers alot of bases.I've copied an gave away to many happy campers.the key is the ayc with the plumpness cast well an the fish can't stand the wiggle.I agree with the eye thing also.An we all know about the famous BM NeedlsI love em with the paint around the eye.i have air brush but i'm tolazy use it so i use cans.

Jeff, for you it's "any color," then jump.

not as purdy or uniform though. Yea they work :bl:
This you can see was never intended to be what it is now. Was just a standard sinking swimmer I made then LATER hung half a rubber eel on in curiousity one night...BAMMO!
Lazy S swim makes the tail slither!

with a "power eel" trailer

This ones slightly loaded to suspend a little lower in the column. Calm water killer in the spring.

F@#% the plastic tail, id lke to smack a small dead eel on there:devil:

I was working on that myself.
Working on a sinking cigar butt (2" long X 1.25dia wooden head with a swinging 7/0 siwash. I feel a big pikie lip up front and a good shot of lead.
Sort of a mix between a riggy and an eel skin plug.
Could work well when your last eel is a dead one and the bass want them.
Just crack the back and hang that hook through the skull. :drool:

Cant wait till may:drool: :drool:
