Goose that guy was a good find? How quick do they come and what was the cost?

Goose
01-30-2003, 04:11 PM
names go for $2.10 apeice or you can a sheet with 64 names for $23.75 .......Again, customer service was out standing.


after taking a better look I got #14, not #18.....smaller lettering can do smaller diameter blanks as well as larger ones.

You can't see it in the pic, but there's a stripe of pink pearl down the middle between the yellow and the white.
They will need 2- 3/0 trebles.

Just painted Blue pearl over Silver pearl. Pics don't do the colors justice. I borrowed the paint scheme from Eel Punt.

Ed if we are all making 11 plugs, then there will be 2 sets left for John right? If there are how about we hold one set for the year long tourney.

Fishpart
02-07-2003, 06:56 AM
My plan is to give them to John for him to use the best way he sees fit to support the site. I would imagine he'll raffle at least one set.

Some for the tourneys would be nice too.

the plugs are done and will be going in mail tomorrow.
If one guy is out there is a plug in there with sparkles on the tail.
I mashed a little to hard and put some small cracks in the tail.
no worry epoxy and coverd with glitter. it works and stops crack.
I feel My finish could Be better, But I always get down on Me.
the plug sit very nice in water and 2/0 or 3/0 trebles should Be used on them.
they will spay like a skunk.
will stuff a few clams in there for mail :)
now on to finishing surfsters for the other site. there sweet to.
