The top one was made by Larry on Long Island and sold through the Surfcaster back in the 90's I believe. It is the only real one I have so I made a few more to fish this season. I used Upol as a top coat to see how it holds up. My feelings are that the VMCs will tear them up though. Only time will tell. These were made with white pine and work just like the original.

Those are beautiful Dave. What are they like a 3/4 bottle plug. P.

Hey, where were you hiding those when I was over:smash:

Sorry Andy, I just turned them a few days ago. Paul, these are bottle darters.

Turned, painted, wired. Few days. Man you are slipping.

Hey MAC,

Those are sweet....how deep do they swim in a strong current at a slow retrieve?

Thanks,
Skitter

Dave,

Sweet pluggage as always. Let us know how the u-pol holds up. I hate epoxying.

Goin to Riisa an goin sat u goin.

I'll be at RIISA on Sat. too.

Mike, originals were thru wired. They will go down 4 to 5'.

John, I'll keep ya posted on how the upol holds up. I did Tony's in epoxy.

Here it is Tony, 1 of the ones on the left. :D I put system 3 clear coat on the olive one. Still too cold for it. Used mirror coat on the others.

Impressive. Just damn impressive.

Urs is spinnin now.Taggers is spinnin an I may have a few others wit me.How come u do 5 plugs an the one u care about most comes out worst.F'n epoxy.so tempermental.The SB112 came out great.the Clear coat the first 2 good the last one not so good wtf.The little fun junker thats been layin around for my own stash came out best.Not one imperfection.well see in a little while.

Ur gonna be really happy.:hihi:

Took em swimmin down at the local fishin hole today. Nice. The real test is when they go for a swim tomorrow in the canal:tm:
