Made these up yesterday and took them for a swim today. Jointed surfsters...smaller than the "Green Death" jointed I posted the other day. Two have traditional surfster bodies with small danny lips....one is weighted and one is not. The two others have a fatter profile identical to the "Green Death" plug....and they have surfster lips, one is weighted and one is not.;) They all swam pretty awesome....slithering like an eel in the water.....not too much variation one from another......I was happy and will be making a nice stash for the upcoming season. These are approx. 5 1/4 inches long.:D

I got a Bigfish fat pencil yellow red head from an auction recently and the workmanship is top shelf...and I thought you were just a big dude who was new to plug building...very nice work!

But its calling me to toss it into the salt....

to say again in a different way: I`ve collected a lot of the modern builders and to my eye your work is among the best.

Thanks for building!
Mike

Mike, you flatter the heck out of me...:blush:....you master plug ho!:laughs: In all seriousness, the bar here has been set very high, and being a real perfectionist....I got alot to live up to.;) I see what some of these guys do and I am so impressed that I just want to be building plugs as good as they do.:D They just keep raising the bar.:)

Thanks for the comp just the same, its nice to hear.;)
