Made these 2 darters from some birch I bought up in Rowley MA a week ago. Used a template plug I got from an expert darter guy who likes to fish with his dog.

Had such good luck with parrot and off white last year that I had to go with that paint. Still need to fire up the airbrush I got from a friend last fall... maybe the next few will be airbrushed...

Unhappy with the bumpy finish as the result of sealing with 2 ton epoxy instead of the tried and true soak sealing... Think I am going back to the PVC soak tube for next plugs.

those look nice.... nice fade on the plane...
I love birch.. you just have to seal it well...

those plugs are so good they can use a Logitech keyboard!

Nice job, they look great, Chris!

very nice....

sweet plugs chris, cant go wrong with either of those colors, but id take the white one.

good article is Sj from anderson saying basically all you need is white.

super nice....wow, I'm darter challanged lol

I did read that article in the current SJ about colors... I guess the fancy paint jobs catch more fisherman than fish... it is true that most baitfish have whitish bellies for sure

Real nice as usual Chris.
