........fabric stores are where I hang out now.

wow George, That came out great.....you must be dying to get it wet.

Nice :drool:. Sign me up I want one!

Murse ? for 4 GIQ's ?

Do you also make a six tube bag?

How much did you spend on materials?

Very awesome. Nice work!

BET YA CAN,T WAIT TO GET IT WET >><<><,:doh::doh::faga:

Neat! Pondered making one for a while. To do list is just that though.

I like the configuration. Same as a single row yet looks more compact.

looks like a custom big boy diaper bag........:rotf2:

The most annoying thing about all plug bags ,to me is fighting the flap .. Got jam it in behind while your working a plug out, then surf, whatever makes it fall forward when your half way out with your plug .. pia .. Always wished the flap went forward ,,yea but then it wouldn't close secure ..i know ,. gotta be a way .. Your square design could be a side flap .. just jam those other flaps inside .. Would love to see a more easy access bag .. Did you sew that ?

so your true avocation is to be a seamstress?

That's what I would suggest. That bag is impressive.

Will all of the garage plug bag builders taking root these days we may need a new forum: Got Bags? Custom Tackle Bags, Curtains, and Seamstressnessing

Seriously - looks sweet George. Now embed a pigs ear into it so it can be retrieved by the local dog.

George, you have just destroyed my surf-life long love affair with my surplus U.S. Army gasmask bags.

You have WAY too much time on your hands...you need a boat and some kids.

George,
That is one real nice live eel bag - I thought you were strictly a plugger?

All kidding aside - nice work. Is it dacron?

A man of many skills!!! Very well done George whats next building your own kayak?:)

aaaargghhhh, you beat me to it...:wall:

that is great. I have been working on a design and am ready to make the pattern. I was also wondering if you used dacron and if so, how hard is it to sew?

I used military spec 1000 denier nylon, Dennis. Might try one out of 10oz dacron sail cloth (but I think this codura stuff is tougher). The tubes and end caps were the toughest part to find (easy in retrospect, however). Bought an ancient heavy weight homestyle Singer sewing machine, which was adequate but far from ideal.

It actually turns out to be not that difficult. Figuring out the layout, cutting stuff, and getting the assembly sequence right is harder than the sewing part (which obviously I suck at). Thank god for seam rippers. The material cost is not much, maybe 20-30 bucks a bag, half of which is the tubes. The equipment cost to do it right, however, could get steep. It was fun and I'm sure I'll make some more..........once I finish the pink frilly tutu that Back Beach needs to fish a plug.

How much in doctor-by-the-hour-bucks is it worth?

a little old man in New Beige would be proud of you.
Looks great. You didn't waste any time getting that done .

Numby's dog is cool ... real surf dog ..

Showoff! First the lipless swimmer and now this... :smash:

aaaargghhhh, you beat me to it...:wall:

Hey Mike, I still think it would make a better eel tote. Has nice belt loops, leader/eel rag pocket. I'm sure it has some grommets for drainage. Who would have thought George would come up with developing the first custom eel tote? Do you think George would make us one? It will now be forever known as the "Numbskull Eel Tote". Aquaskinz or VS might be copying it soon ;)

DZ

Very nicely done.

I 'd like to be the first to be on the list if you start one numby.:devil2:

Numby's dog is cool ... real surf dog ..


I hear Numby already fitted the poor pooch with his new saddle bag style soft tackle boxes...:hee:

very nice :kewl:

You didn't waste anytime that came out great! You should get the guy from NB a picture of it...on second thought maybe not

I hear Nymby already fitted the poor pooch with his new saddle bag style soft tackle boxes...:hee:

That's actually not a bad idea .. Plug mule ?.. Maybe not ,, the dogs already giving Numby dirty looks when he drops fish ..

Put your skilllz to work and lets see a custom eel bag...if there is such a thing

NICE!!!

I tried my wife's machine once a long time ago. I made a hole and bird'snest combo in my shirt. Took about a second. Wicked nice bag, Numby. I may ask for lessons.

nice george!....been tempted more than once to do the same thing.

Seems to be a project more and more guys are tackling these days.

A buddy in CSA is doing them, and I think I'll give it a try this summer once school is out and I have time to kill.

Wow! What are you going to use for a strap? That's and important part. I hate when they double over.

looks nice George...kudos...

very nice job George, you were just talking about them, you don't waste time

any tips on where to get the tubes?

its look like a baby huey size diaper bag ...:fishin:you,ll be pulled out to sea if u take a wave and your bag fills up with water.better have drain some holes nummie.

Very nice :drool:

Great job Dude. Don't let them give you any crap or I,ll get a kid to help me post pictures of my artsy plug tote. I make them out of windshield washer fluid gallon jugs. After cutting a big smile in the side opposite the handle i insert tubes into the smile and rotate them like a cylinder on a sixshooter. It,s light,floats and the best part is that nobody and i mean nobody will fish near me . Who in hell wants to fish next to a guy wearing a gallon jug instead of a plug bag.
The chit we go through to have fun

I used to fish with some guy from Chatham who carried a milk jug full of tooth brushes and bic pens...crazy bastard he was...

Backie Beachie Where is your respect for elvers

Nice job George. We've been having a custom bag epidemic at C.S.A. A nice side hobby. You do your own custom design of your wants and needs.

Nice! A Little bigger it would make a nice shag bag for my golf balls.:)

That's sweet work. Good Job!
