Man those look sweet.:tooth:

yellow redheads :drool:
my favorite :kewl:

Karl ,, those are fish catchers .. Funny I just made a pencil out of that beech you gave me ... I think its going to be good for the ditch ... what you make them out of ?

Oh yea ... used my Salty ball to cut pop .... worked the nuts ..

Those look like trade/swap bait!!!!! Look sweet Karl.:btu:

Stripedbass can't see yellow, its been proven many a time, if you hand over the canal specials I can dispose of them for you, free of charge

There's big fish in their future..

:eyes:

Simple is good. Neat pencils, remind me of a Bagley's dub'l-O-7, a small pencil that fished real well for me a long, long time ago.

Karl, ask the Senior Angler about a George Carlezon yellow pencil like that, it's his fav pencil and yours are perfect!!!!! Nice Job!

Nothin wrong with them pencils, I'd fish um to

very nice shape. now ship me one. ha

Lookin good & I like yella!!:humpty:

plain painted my butt,,,great colors,,,,, I would fish them with pride,,,,,

Although those fancy paint jobs look incredible,,,, I still like the basics ..... and so do the fish,,,,

like they all have said before me they look great!! I love yellow!

like they all have said before me they look great!! I love yellow!

Nice, strictly business.

One of my favorite color combinations red/yellow/ maybe some white. I will take craftsmanship over a fancy paintjob anyday. Looks like you nailed it.

beautiful tail wraps. They all look very consistent. & Nice & round.

They give off a nice shine. Very even paint.


looks like love went into them

you must be using a duplicator....

those are perfect.... whata ya mean jelly bean :rollem:

We must be sharing a brain-wave, Karl! I painted some like that last night. Mine are pispoorer. :laugha:

Clean, quick and effective... NICE!

karl, those look really nice and clean. I bought paint last weekend for some top water I'm working on. Red, Yellow, and white. You can't argue with what works.

Karl,that is my kinda plug,plain and simple.

Nice job K.

Thanks to All..
I got looking at these, when in primer.. I had just looked at a lot of the newer stuff posted on here (a lot of real nice paint lately).. I was thinking how am I gonna paint these?.. I must admit.. I love looking at the fancy paint jobs.. but I'm thinking.. these are pencils.... no need to doll them up.. so... they is what they is.. ..

the two plain white.. NIB posted once that he didn't think any of us could do just white, no eyes, and leave it alone.. so I had to do it... I like 'em.. but.. I know NIB.. he will say.. the pencil isn't a flat bottom.. the danny needs two belly hooks... well..NIB knows what he likes :D

BBJ.. I doubt you did anything poorer :D..
tell ya the truth.. and Flap, the Senior Angler, and Jake will know what I mean.. (others too, right Slip?).. I was also kinda think early early AM.. at a beach that BBJ and the Senior one frequent.. what was most effective there in the last coupla years?... :)

Tagger.. these are AYC.. weigh an ounce and a half without hooks.
Beech.. yeah, I bet that would make a pissah Canal Special.

I find it hard to keep it simple, just too easy to get caught up in the glammor, not so much with topwater, poppers (I dont make many anyways) but even Danny's, goo-goo's and Conrads, seems like I always have to mess with them add colors , scales etc. I admire that you are able to keep it simple... I've probably caught more big bass on a plain light blue danny than any other plug, no eyes no B.S., but still i screw with them.. Nice example you've set, I've got some going into the epoxy tonight(all duded up) and a bunch more to be painted, I'm going to try and follow your lead!...K. I. S. S... Thanks for the inspiration! and having the corage to be "first"

Nice:jump:

K, HOWS 'BOUT A CLOSE UP OF THAT dANNY WITH THE FANCY ASS END?

Plain Janes, yeah rigth Karl, Plain Janes. :rolleyes:

Those plugs have the feeling of the 40s- 50's and eat me written all over them, along with your last year's Plain Jane needle, best needle i have ever seen, told ya that before. :hihi:

Damned Karl....I come into the store looking for simple needles and pencils and you say *NOPE*.....Those will work WONDERS where I use em...and it won't be out of one of these...:ss: I'm offering to buy a few to spank a few of those lower cape offshore bass...:buds:

Jeff, REAL men surf fish out of one of those:ss: :laugha: :humpty: :wave:

Yo Slip...Been there done that....Hope to be back doing it again someday...Hey do you still spend the summers in Wellfleet?....We should hit the backside *in my boat* on one of my off days next year....Hey I will even let karl tag along and bring the PLAIN UGLY WOOD...:hidin:

Karl...Salty's been SERVED.......I got the run around with him too!...:soon: :soon: :yak5:

only on weekends Jeff but I'm self employed too
Big K would outfish both of us
Jeff, look up John from VT(l.i.fishvt.) he does many pencils

You will be just down the road from me so look me up!...I should have time in mid to late may as well as july on here and there....JUNE is SWAMPED as usual...Bet you boys would like to throw some of that custom wood at 50lb bluefins?....:)
