These are for Backbeach Jake. He challanged me to make one of my small spooks in any color I wanted. Did up a classic jiggy blue. Figured that wasn't much of a challange, so I did up a larger version, in a sort of olive mac color. Figured he is getting on in years, so I personalized it for him as a helpful reminder who he is :hihi:

I look forward to seeing you there. Thank you and beautiful work..

unfortunately i couldnt get a decent pic for some reason but here it is, for slip.

Here she is Outnumbered! Just wired her up! 6 3/8" in length and weighs 2 1/4 oz. Complete with 3/0 VMC's and a new BigFish feature.....gill plates! Hope you like it!

Closeup of the gill plates!

Here's a danny for redneck24. It's a very pale wonderbread like the old pearl bombers. It's one of my 3 'go to' colors.

It is 5 1/2 " and 2.5 oz. It has about 1/4 inch of lead in the tail which is just enough to take most of the tumble out of the cast without affecting the action too much. I tied a tail for it but I did not close the eye of siwash so he can fish it that way or swap it for a rear treble if he prefers 2 trebles..

some really sweet stuff so far.......BF, can you put those into production so that I can buy one, that thing is awesome...

I might make a small run!:tooth:

That PNG plug is just awesome!

Looks great, can't wait to fish it.:jump:

That BigFish Atom Jr has some character to it. Really Nice.

for the record its a Monte Carlo I dont want to upset Joe:hihi:


Pardon my ignance ... not Cutlass ?

STRIPERCRAZY heres the Cowboy jr. 5 7/8" 3oz.

He said he did not have anything with a surfster lip, well his first is hopefully a special one. This baby is 8 1/2" long and 4.5 oz. We seem to agree on big baits! Wood is AWC. All custom. I cut the lip with tinsnips from 24g stainless and shaped it on a doming block (took a few tries to get it close). The glass eyes originally were clear and I painted them red. Its funny he should ask about the cupped eye sockets, because this one has them. The paint scheme is my favorite old Creek Chub pattern, White Scale. I don't tie often, so I am a little rusty, but the tail matches the paint. Retrieve this one slowly right on top for some tail wagging action. It does roll some, but the white sides flash like crazy and I believe will pull in some fish.

Saltydog, I can mail this baby or bring it to plugfest. If you want me to mail it, PM your address. I hope you enjoy it and catch a cow!

Larry, this was great idea. Thanks for the opportunity to build specific to a fellow angler and builder's request.

Adam....that plug is quite tastey!:drool:

I am diggin that paint job:shocked:

Glad I made more than one, my e-tex was old and there is some white stuff on the plugs I just did so I'll try again. maybe I'll just use devcon.

:hihi: - Sorry Fred - that was funny

Closeup of the gill plates!

Sweet - but where is the Red nail polish inside the gills? Recently I was watching a Mike Laptew presentation and remarked that baitfish frequently flash their gills and it is something very apparent under water :btu:

...incredible work!

Should be around 3 ounces
I'll bring to plugfest Finatic

nice guys. I need to assemble mine. Have been slacking as my guy is out at sea so he can't see it anyway.

In the famous words of MAC....tick tock!:btu:

I'll be posting mine tonight Larry, Got it epoxied last night and just need to throw on the lip and some hooks.

Larry can't wait to get the plug you made me. Love the gill's cut into the side. This was a great idea thanks for coming up with it again.
