I think I may have gotten these light enough, I always seem to make them too heavy.

Neat detail with the eyes. What are you using to cut those?

A cutter I made out of a speedbore bit.

Very, very nice. I'm sure a time will come when you are happy you have the ones that you thought were too heavy. :btu:

Nice, I caught more big fish on small needles last year than ever before.

I agree, I prefer my needles kind of heavy, I want them to be slow sinkers. Usually upon retrieve it works its way to the surface anyway. This way you can cover the water column better..ie, start out a little deep at the beginning of the cast and as it shallows up work it a little higher.


Nice plugs, I like the eye recess well.

This is the cutter, very high tech. A little fabric paint in the center. When I want to get really fancy I use some glitter fabric paint in the outer ring.
Hav'nt had one fall out yet.
