This plug I have been working on for about one year.I gave this to a few guys and had some very good results with it.I caught a lot of bass on mine but did not get any over 15 lbs.A friend had a super day last late spring with bass in the thirties and one at 42 lbs.
It can handle current very good and can be made to dig deep with slight modifications with the lip.The smokey joe is a deep digger and will be used in certain spot that is deep and swift,the bass will let us know what it looks like.
The pink is staying with me and I plan on targeting the big weakfish with it,that will be here soon

:drool::drool: ooooooooooooooooo smokey joe :btu:

Thanks guys:wave:
A little more on this plug,I made the tail similar to my superkick plug as this let's me thru wire it.It turns out the tail throws a little more turbulence while it swims.It has the shape of a mega bait,sidekick ,and probably a few other lures I do not know about.I have workeed on the lip shape and at this time the plug swims with a somewhat tight wiggle
perhaps close to a bomber shake.
We used the plug last year in a variety of situations,from crawling on top to let it dig in the sand botttow and killing the action.This worked very nice down in south jersey.The bass were following the plug and when it started to rise it got hit.
It is a small plug and only weighs in at about 1 onz+.With the right rod the little guy casts fairly nice.I made about 15 plugs that I sold at the Asbury show,hopefully more feed back will be coming

How did you get one?????????I know Big John has one

Gary thanks for the plug, and NIB didn't get it from me.

Big John:hihi:

Excellent stuff Gary! Do a pearl white one for that rock you warmed up last fall :drool: :devil:

Early July this past year, a day that is going to live in my mind a long time.. I threw Garys plug (the one he posted about) in its prototype days to the mouth of the Manasqaun. It was foggy, outgoing tide with a severe south wind at 35 mph. I needed something to dig in and his plug did. Those bass did everything but jump in the boat to take that thing away from me. I retied after every fish, just to help not to loose it.. I pulled bass after bass on that plug.. probably had thirteen bass over 30 lbs on that plug! One at 42 lbs. THEY ROCK>
And that smokey joe, pssf It doesn't catch, should just send it to me.. :drool:

If you need my address again Gary, I'd be glad to PM it to ya again :D
I kinda feel like the depreived stepchild :hidin: I know you still have the intention to get me a plug for that trade we did, but it's been a year. I know I missed you at the plugfest last fall, but I'd gladly wait for one of these plugs if you are making more, actually if you still have chums' needle, I'd gladly take 2 of those :D:wave: thanks whatever you can do.
Your plugs rule

I am going to epoxy that Wood O tonight and I will need your address.I have the needle ready for the Chumster when I see him.

I'm gonna see slip this weekend. If u can get his plugs to me by friday. I can hand deliver em.I'm workin on ocean avenue in belmar.Call me.

Thats awesome Gary, we do need to wet some plugs. I'll be fishing in North Carolina next week and I'll send some bass north so we can get em. Everytime I see your little guys I think of that day. Below I have a couple of pics from that day. Notice your Intiser hanging, I had to stick it back into the fish, it was so nasty while fishing I couldn't get a desent picture. But as we reached the dock the sun came out and the wind stopped, A rainbow showed off to make this day more memorable. Talk to you soon Bill

I lost that picture quite a while back.I guess you never can figure those bass out.Big fish banging a 1 onz+ plug:smash:
