WOW.....nice l@@King lures Mr chumBucket

wow!!!!!!

Did you stamp your trademark in the lips?

NICE PLUGS, I can make lots of chips and dust after that it gets pretty crude.

Chumbucket, YOU are a madman.
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Those are sweet. I guess I need to learn this airbrushing thing someday.

Fishpart, perhaps another visit to the slipknot mancave is due? I think we canm get you to graduate above crude this year. Shall we try to set a date soon?

Chum..

Sweet. I love that gold-ish one. Nice work!

Nice!

wow! thier beautiful.

Slip,
You Bet!! After the holidays is best for me.

CHUM
thats a very nice touch putting your name in the lips. REEL nice looking plugs to, great paint job as well.

Bruce i think we should all chip in and get Chum a round trip ticket, guest of honor speaker, for the 2nd annual Striped-Bass.com sawdust get together.

Dang Chum those are too sweet to fish with. They should be in an art gallery. I gotta get to turning, and soon.

Thanks for the comps.:)
Count me in on the GTG but I'm no good at public speaking...I'm just one of the sawdust gang and I'll try to answer any questions as best I can.:cheers:

"but I'm no good at public speaking..."

The workmanship speaks for itself. If you ever want to sell a few of them PM me.

Hey Chum, did you lose any last night ????? Maybe they will float up to the Vineyard ..lol

Did they catch anything ?

VB

ps..forgot ,,,you use rope ... :)

Wow, beyootiful work Chumbucket.

No schoolbus patterns as of late?

-WW

Weewee, Thanks, been trying other color combos but I'm planning on that schoolbus scale pattern I do in a black & gold color.
VB, That chumster swims great with a nice wiggle and roll but we couldn't find any striped ones yesterday/night. A 12lb'er went for my fat needle the night before though.

Chum, that's why the call it fishing !
My budd (neil) just got back from NC fishing for albies and only came up with a 1/2 doz in 7 days !
I am heading down the cape for a few hours today in the rain, wish me luck !

VB

:eek: Chum, your quality is second to none!!!incredible!!Love the mullet color. johnny "the Ratt Boy"

Not Chumster built, but Chumster inspired :btu:

Bad pic, see below :rolleyes:

Bernzy

Here's a better pic

AAAAHHHHHHH!
A Bernzy in purple haze. Making my knee feel better.

Thanks for the picture, I thought I was to wander in the wilderness forever wondering what a chumster looked like. Thanks for putting the quarter in for scale. That is a handsome lure. I just saw the real thing in the other chumster post and they are a thing of beauty.:claps:

Hi Bernzy,

Just recently picked up a lathe from Bruce, and I hope to be spinning some very soon!...

I'll be in touch for advice! :)

Excellent Bliz, Welcome to the madness :spin:

Bernzy

Bliz, Great to hear , Slip is one knowledgeable wood guy...I learned some great tips from him...
Maybe we can trade in the near future...
For now, how about looking at a White Scale Chumster with regular lip...

SWEETTTTT PLUGGGSSS, man! those things looked so cool.

Chum that is a drool maker!

WOW!... That is one AMAZING Plug!...

You and Bernzy & Pasngas are the top three plugmakers I hope to be able to add to my collection!

That is awesome Chum!... absolutely awesome!

:eek: :D

I Liked your cedar suggestion Christian!...

My fence will dissapear peice by peice over the course of time!:laughs:

Chumbucket: How do you make the bends in your lips? They are looking perfect and was wondering if you use a special tool or does it just come with expierience :D

I'd like to know where I can get some eyes for my first attempt at making a pikie. Any help greatly appreciated: Rocket

Rocketman - Any fly fishing shop in your area will have eyes.
Craft shops also have doll eyes.

I make the bends in a vise with aluminum angle on the jaws to protect the metal. Layout lines on the blank, line them up and tap to final angle with plastic lead-loaded hammer and sometimes a small piece of wood to get into that last bend :smash:

chum,
i trolled the chumster from the swap on the vinyard today on my friends boat and absolutely cleaned up with it. too bad it wasnt all bass, blues make paint go bye bye. 2 at a time take off twice the paint and leave twice the damage:eek: :af:

I finally got the original pics at the beginning of this post. Thanks to whoever fixed it. Nice work Chumbucket, I hope that someday i can learn to paint like you, or maybe half as good. Starting out at 50y.o. I'll never have enough time to get that good. Also thanks Striperknight for the tip on the eyes.

Wicked paint, the best I've ever seen!!!!

Pics gone again :confused:

Just a dot photo logo.

Bernzy

...great, now I gotta fix this thread again...:rolleyes:

:confused: ...now the pics are back up again :confused: ...guess I don't have to mess with this thread after all :rolleyes: ...I wonder what went on at dotphoto?
