I don't get to see alot of the custom stuff. I'm not talking anything you can go into a tackle shop and buy. I mean the stuff you guys do for swaps etc. or to build to meet a certain fishing need.

What is/are your favorite custom plugs that you own and why?

Pictures required!

favorite customs:

Masterlure jointed eel I re-habbed.
mac - flaptail in mullet :kewl:
Mac - pumpkin seed pikie in night pogie.:kewl:
mac - white fish smokin' danny : every barb on this is crushed. This is my savior plug, this things like A 50$ bill at the wedge.
Mac - hybrid surfster, true proto, with an epoxy paint dave was testing out :devil:
Long Island Fish in Vermont - yellow red head pencil popper man if I ever lose this lure it will be the scream heard round the world:bc: black and purple darters.
Gary2 - anything Gary touches is brought to life.
digger - slim style in lemon lime.
had a good nigh last night on a pikie I turned and highlander painted in a perch color.
Jigman hypno needles - are worth their weight in diamonds and high priced call girls.
I've got a special color bernzy howdy, whats basically left is a through wired tooth pick. I asked him for a repaint, he said there isnt anything left to paint.
Trouble maker surfsters - steve doing better healthwise for anyone concerned, but he made me a surfster in mullet that is outstanding.
Adam R jointed eel - Beautiful lure, I throw it before any rubber eel imitation.
Striper sniper - smackeral colored needle.
Taggage perdator - green purple red.

There are others Im sleepy I havent slept yet. Gotta take a nap so I can get back out there tonight.

1) Outfishes anything I own (and I own nearly everything) in hard moving water (side sweep) 5-8 feet deep.
2) Built a bunch of these, but this one is a special daytime plug. Ever watch 25lb bass imitate Polaris missiles?
3) Calm nights when you want to use a danny, but there's no big bait around, this has done the job for me time and time again. Casts well, too
4) You can buy these (Bernzy's Surf Howdy), but not easily. It is the best light wind topwater plug for bass of all sizes I have ever fished. Works by moonlight as well. Casts great.

TDF Jointed Danny.....just beautifu and destined for greatness this fall.

And since you guys broke the rules I will too. Bernzy Wonderbread Howdy and AH Jointed Snake. Both responsible for some great 2007 bass.

My fave is an 8"yellow needle that I turned in '04. That'll change in a week or so. All time, feed the family lure? Kastmaster.

And all the Macs, 'cause I really admire the workmanship, the ones I do fish catch, and I like the man.
