I finnished this one today, it's body is 6"long 1.1/4 round weight is 2.6
the feathers an deer hair is another 6" on a 3/0 3561ED hook, Bellyhook is 2/0 3561ED. I like the shine in the hook over the VMC'S
just to give it a little more glitter. eye is 3/4 molded.the paint is white, w/red on top, the another coat of white over the red so they both belnded together, in the light it's WHITE ! in a shadow it's PINKISH-RED to it, should look cool in the depths.

Good Looking Stuff...Still love the Tails you do

Sweet

Very nice looking plug. In my experience however, a 1.25 in. dia plug would be better off with a 3/0 belly hook.

Scott - you using screw eyes on that plug?

Looks real nice. I really like the eyes on that one.:smokin:

GONE-FISHIN, SCREW EYES 1.5 STAINLESS got them at C.C.T. from Mike. don't have tools to do threw wire, Im a Hand Carved, Rattle Can, GUY:rollem:

CHARLESTON, sorry it is 3/0 I just looked again.

QUESTION, is there a set rule on hook for PLUGS, should the TAILS be LARGER than the body HOOKS, Im lost on that .Im just using what it looks like it should take.
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

Salty.... I am doing through wire with a Delta shopmaster mini drill press,,,$99 at lowes,,,, it does ok,,,,,,I use a short bit first then the long bit,,,,,, just have to go slow and make sure I set up a plumb line to a screw and center it before I get started,,, There is a page here on how to do it,,,

I think your plugs look great,,,, I could not imagine what you could do with an airbrush....... you could get one cheap from michaels and use the canned air or go to www.bearair.com ....

I look forward to seeing more stuff,,,,,,

GattaFish, Im just playing around this year. maby NEXT season Ill dive into it more w/ tools an SPRAY GUN.

Those tails are beautiful. Wish I could do that. Maybe we can do a trade. I'll send you 2 plugs you do the tails and send one plug back to me. PM me if you are interested. Paul

Salty;
Give some thought to using Siwash hooks on the tail. That way you are not getting chewed up while trying to get a blue fish off all those trebles. That plug would be pissa with a 3/0 treble on the belly and a 5/0 Siwash (tied with hair etc) on the tail !
