Ball rasp in a drill press after I cut the angle.

Cool look. Did some goo goo poppers a while back for some friends. Unfortunately I never kept one for myself. I'll just have to build some more. Made those from pine though. Good luck with them.

They look real good. Tip; Don't make the face angle too steep it will cause the plug to rise in the water and not throw as much water. The way to weight a steep face angle is to get it slightly tail down so the face hits the water when you "chug" it.
I like the double eye up top like that.

Beautiful! Let us know the results when they fish!

Now my self esteem lowers further on not being able to even turn a damn needle proper...
