Here's a hot new concept lure from Hab and Tattoo. The Ink Floyd could have easily been called the Pink Floyd, but I think that name may have already been taken. Regardless, this is a fantastic lure to work during the dark side of the moon.

Anyone know where the inspiration for this lure came from?

...just another lure on the wall.

Seawolf,

Have another.......seems like your comfotably numb.

Caching...Money...What's it cost?

I want a Floyd Roman too! :cool:
But I can't afford one:eek:
Uh, Tattoo?

Ill test out that ink floyd for ya ! a couple other colors just to be sure of its functionality ( black , yellow and parrot ) . I think would fit the testing bill . call me .......................anything but late for the tide .

Nice, Habs where can I get some short of raiding the shed!!!!!!!!!!!:happy:

In Olive over Gold they would probably make a nice replacement for a Mambo or a Bomber this spring.....

One of these days, Ink Floyd will be learning to fly, provided Tattoo learns a better knot from Slip.

Otherwise you might as well set the controls for the heart of the sun... BTW - I hear Habs likes SHEEP and PIGS...


:smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

:eek: THAT LOOKS GORGEOUSLY FAMILIAR!~!!~...:D:D:D



...One question, whats "your" theory on the postioning of the hook??...why not the other way around?...I know it'll dig, keeping the rear hook up, but why face the hook down?...Any particular reason?...

bloocrab, thats how HABS does it and i'm sticking to it , but for you we can change it J. HABS

haven't we seen these before?

Tattoo and Bm I found the one thing that would make those plugs look great. Put them in my new beach bag ;) ;) ;)

Sorry this was to be on last post

Look there is lots of room for INK FLOYD to come and play???

have u seen these

I have more to.....

cool no...

how about needles...

seawolf where is this

They all look great but all look like they could use a nice home???;) ;)

GB - I have the same bag but I pull out one of the plug bins so I can stuff the rest of my needs in there. I can get about 8-9 plugs into the one rack and survive for the night ;) ... It's certainly a worthwile inexpensive alternative to a SurfCaster Bag...

Glad to see I made the right choice I think we can get one for the Cuttyhunk derby for a prize no charge. What do you think guys worth it for second place ??? John thanks for the hint on setting the bag up sounds good! How about a few plugs to put in it?????

I like all the plugs on this thread. Hab,good job on that pink Floyd.

Dave, nice Wavy Gravy plugs. I thought you didn't like the Grateful Dead ;)


GB, I have a few plugs to add to that bag:)

plugs look good, but ya know what. bass will eat a stick of wood painted black:D

bm, did you throw up on your plug.:o

___ Dear Mr. Habs:


........Whoever said anything about change? I was simply asking what the reasoning was for facing the hook down...thats' all..Aren't you afraid of hang-ups?? ...Or is that how you keep them coming back to buy more...:D;):D


:smash: :smash: Come to think of it, a plug with a Trebble hook on the end....faces everywhich way eh?...:eek: :smash:

BLOOCRAB. I like the hook facing down, last year I had some request to turn the hook the other way. I tried it and really didn't notice any difference. THNKS J. HABS

Puke paint jobs, the easy way to hide mistakes.

:smash: :p :p :laughs: :laughs: :happy: :drool:

bm, hey, you make a decent plug and most have seen that. it's just that everytime someone posts a picture of a lure, you have to post 5 of yours and it's the same ones we see all the time. it just gets old. yeah, the paint jobs are different, but are we trying to catch joe fisherman or mrs. cow? maybe a schoolie will hit any piece of wood painted black, but a queen won't. but, to each their own...

do i know that spot? maybe, maybe not. even if i do, i won't say where it is. i don't post about places that might be good fishing or what have you. that's for someone to go and learn on their own. it's amazing what the internet does for lazy fishermen. many want to be a hero.

Slipknot I thank you for the offer of a few plugs for the bag. I thought there were a few plug makers onboard. The bag has room for more!!!

A queen wont . are You sure about that...
How do Ya know they wont eat them plugs:smash:

.......yeah, maybe a drag queen.

How would You Know? :happy:

In my best Rupaul impersonation, "Work it, Work it girl..."
hee hee, drag queen.....

RuPaul he he he:D

Welcome bo_peep...have you met Ron Arra? You have a lot in common http://fisheye.striped-bass.com/images/gif/arra.gif I'm a cow-man myself.

SeaWolf, I agree with you...action first, shape second and color the final factor in getting a strike...just my .02

BM, Do you belong to the Massachusetts Rainbow Coalition Party?

Gentlemen, we've done pretty good so far this year without Cabin Fever taking over...

Seawolf, he might post a lot of the same pics (over and over again :rolleyes: ) but he often pitches in to help others instead of just bitchin' about it...

One of my favorite lines: "Lighten' up, Francis!!"

One of my other favorites: "The negativity in this town SUCKS!!! , It's like the fellowship of the miserable" ;)

:bshake: :bshake:

Im a lumberjack and Im OK ...... I wear womans clothing and and hang around in bars ......... hes a lumberjack and hes OK . He wears womans clothing and hangs around ....... hay wait a minute !

who's bitchin'? i'm just making a statement. and, judging by some of the replys, i'm not the only one that noticed what i wrote. just because i said what i did, i'm getting slapped on the hand? show me where i went too far on this thread.

i'm not being negative either. i do not see anything in what bm posted that either followed what this thread was about or mentioned anything having to do with this floyd. yes, he posted a his floyd. that's fine and i have no problem with that, but why post the other 3 or 4 lures? i don't see the significance. i just started noticing a trend that was occuring and was starting to get old.

bm - you make lures and do a good job with making them, there's no doubting that. maybe we don't see eye to eye on things, and that's fine. maybe i don't agree with your color schemes and that's my opinion. maybe some like them and that's cool. maybe we don't agree on what large stripers like in a wooden lure - that's personal preference and experience. but, i'm not going to change what i write to "fit it".

No slap on the hand. Seawolf, first off, just lighten up on BM a little - everyone gets a little wound up this time of year and I thought you were a digging a little hard - not bad, malicious, or trying to be an ass or something. Secondly, I'm gonna lighten up a little 'cause I think I might be suffering a little C.F. myself... Thirdly, I confused you with someone else that posts from time to time just to be abbrasive and just thought it was you (well that guy) doing more of the same. That's probably what had me going the most so sorry for being a little bitchy myself ;)

The "Lighten Up" was a little for everybody (including myself) as we've been getting a little whinnier as a whole. Nothing bad, and certainly/unfortunately not like the good old days at WMI ;) .... But this thread just seems to have a little more annimosity running in it - which bunched my panties a little....



"Larry Bird, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale are not going to walk through that door tomorrow and the sooner you fans learn that, the better off we will all be... The Negativity in this town just SUCKS!!!...It's like the fellowship of the miserable" - Rick Pitino - not long before he goit the self-inflicted boot....

Well, I don't know about cabin fever, but I'm just gettin' over the real thing - and also didn't have the benefit of being able to go online due to some Cox issues (which the talented Ink Man) helped me resolve) -

So after a few days of bedrest and meds, can I offer a suggestion?

Can't we all just get along? :smash::smash::smash:

Okay then...well...nevermind.

Yeah, it's an outbreak of Fishing Pox without a doubt. Irritable, moody, ya notice yourself doodling little fish pictures at your desk...the good news is, it ain't that far away, 6 to 8 weeks, maybe.

The surest indicator will be Iron Mike on Ground Hog Day. If he pops out of his Jeep and sees his shadow...

Oh yeah, Bird, McHale and the Chief walkin' thru the door?

Hell yes! Hey Pitino, we got your door right here.

Just my $5 and .02 - whew! - I feel better already.

Yup, I recommend SB as an effective analgesic for da Pox. :D

Along with Bloooberry Therapy as needed. :cheers:

IN MODERATION, that is.

Yep, internet providers can be a little messed up, sorry to hear that. Good for you Crafty that Mike could set you up, I don't know how he does it, I'm a computer googan.

I hope when Media One changes my Email to AT&T that it goes smoothly, next week. But my address will change :(

There is a fishing show this weekend, maybe that will help get rid of some shacknasties:smash:


:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Yeah, Slip, my good ol' cousin Charlie in Florida calls it House Rot. I think men are more susceptible to it. I'm feelin' better, might hit Woosta myself, but gonna have to try for early Sunday before Da Game.

Yeah, some of my cable stuff is squared away, but I think I gotta offer the Ink Man a spot in the will - I still gotta fix up the email thingy - don't feel bad, I ain't exactly Bill Gates myself. :rolleyes:

:af: And just whats wrong with that???...:laughs: :laughs: you mean to tell me thats NOT NORMAL ??...:jump1: :jump1: :jump1:

Hey, Bloo, nice job. :btu:

Geez, I dunno, we could be seeing the emergence of some kind of a Northern Alliance logo here.

We gotta get some input here - this could call for an Advisory Meeting of the Supreme Council. Of course, the first order of business might be appointing someone as...uhhhh...Sergeant at Arms.

Hey, Habanero, whaddya think? A logo? Fish_Eye. Tattoo, John?

Geez, I always wondered what the fish did in the off-season - do ya think they're day-dreaming about us? :D

.......LOGO?...:confused:


...It's more like the before and after picture of a BLOOOOBERRY NIGHT!!:laughs: :laughs:


...Thanks for the compliments Crafty....I pen~nd' the second one for ya....PAINT' SUX!!...give me my pencils anyday!!...:D

:smash: Seawolf Im an internet Hero. 1 last pic b4 I pill the plug on this box. sorry the pic is old july 2000
:smash: sorry, im a pain in the Arse John...

:af: ...What'd ya do with all that fish???....


...SHEEEEEEEESH!!!! YOU SHOULD BE LOT FATTER THAN YOU ARE!!...:D:D

...or maybe you gots a big family like me ;)...:bgi:

Blooo - I'm LMAO here - :laughs:

That's great...now if we could do a little lipstick and some eye makeup, since the best bass are females...

Hey, now, nothin' racy - this is a PG site. just make the bass a little more girly lookin' - like a 50, maybe, ya know.

Hey,

That kinda looks like the HABS guy after Mrs. Tattoo drank him under the table! :D


EXCELLENT JOB!!!

Remember now kiddies!!!.....


DON'T DRINK AND FISH!!!

..Instead, FISH THE DRINK!!.. :D:D:D






psssssst, hey Tattoo...Hab's modeled for me!!!......shhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

bloo I sold them,just like im going to do this year:D
last year was my year off:smash:
I wont post no pics.
Ya know im tryin to get of the puter all together, Im serious now...
it cuts into fishing and gets me in trouble at home.
Im seriously thinkin of it...:smash: This thing is a disease.
I had a few nights last year where I limeted on comm quota.....
It was nice not to care about big fish and plunk my butt at the town hall......
Its winter, and honestly I want to have a drunken fist fight:smash: :happy: :smash: :rolleyes: :p :mad: :laughs: :eek: :p

Not with Habbs, I need to walk away:smash: :confused: :happy: :smash: :happy: :smash: :p

Bloo, ya got some talent there, my friend. :btu:

It really is excellent - I'm still laughin' :laughs:

Bloo - That's friekin' awesome!!! I love it!!!

That is Freikin' ART!!!!

BM - just relax. If you're frazzled & need to pull the plug for a while & get some R&R, do it. No sense putting yourself into burnout. Been there, ain't a pretty place man...


Bloo - this is "dOoDlE" - Big Difference!

http://striped-bass.com/images/doodlin.jpg

Tattoo & Habs, I'll take a few of them off of ya hands. Matter of fact I want to get your plugs in my shop here in NJ, lots of guys saw some of the ones I bought up in Weekapaug and they like. Contact me please.

Hey Bloo,

Outstanding work...as always. Don't change a thing. I took the liberty of doing a little colorizing and slapped in a logo.


I think this will more than work for the official logo of the Northern Alliance.

http://fisheye.striped-bass.com/images/feb/na logo.jpg

John, don't Kid yourself.....thats a great Doodle if I may say so myself..:)


...is that a picture of your "future" boat?..:D...or did you draw that out of your head?...either way, your a talented guy!!! ;)

...Fish_Eye...YELLOW BACKGROUND:confused: :D :D ...kiddin!

...We'd make a good team, I'll do the sketches you fill in the colors..:)

Ya John, is that your future Seacraft or Regulator or SeaPro? Nice, I see you went with the center console instead of the walkaround ;)

Tried out a cheap knockoff over the weekend and that thing swims sweet:happy: now for some paint...

Fishpart - how are you getting all that free time? Or are the boys helping you while mommy hangs out with the newest addition to the family... BTW - Give me a call - the Loomis/St Croix/Batson mystery may have been solved...

Free time is spinning a few after bed time for about 1/2 hour and then on the cold days we crank up the woodstove and head for the basement and drill holes, bend wires and bandsaw while the boys hammer and saw and draw and ride tricycles.

We'll get a chance to paint in the garage in the spring while they dig the yard up. It's amazing what you can get done in 10 minute bites
