I might be lucky if I have something to show two Sundays from tomorrow. Don't think I'll have much for Plugfest but I rather go with less then rush what I got.

Lets see those jointed pikes :)

These are some Creek Chub inspired jointed swimmer/pikies! I have been wanting these to fish from the kayak for quite awhile now and finally got around to turning a few out! The action on them is crazy! :uhuh:

I can't wait to fish these!!! Fresh and salt these are gonna crush!!!

Mmmmmmm.......tastey!:drool:

A pile of Atom-40's too!:uhuh:

If you missed it....a little video I made.

I am going to take a quick wake me up shower and get a second cup o' Joe! I expect some pics from you guys when I return!!!:uhuh:

:gu:.....:eyes:......:huh:

Mmmmmmm.......tastey!:drool:

Wow, nice! How much do those weigh?

A tad over an ounce!!!

Nice stuff Larry, I need to try and downsize some stuff for freshwater too . I started doing a little bit of that last year from the kayak, mostly for trout.

Thanks Dave! Yeah I enjoy fishing smaller lures and I am looking to do more freshwater!:uhuh:

I refinished some beaters that have already caught their share.

Darters... This fall I lost a monster in the canal on a red darter George gave me last year. A couple of my polaris's and a Mac Danny (first 'custom' I ever bought)

Some big needles where I am messing with line ties, I think the big yellow one will be the winner. some needle proto type stuff where i am messing around with sloping the head.

A couple of refinished needles and some more experimental slope headed stuff.

Nice stuff! That red darter is damn sexy!!!

Hey really like the video. I still don't post pics but will see ya next month and show you what I've been up to.

Cool! ;)

A tad over an ounce!!!

Sounds like spring to me!

Nice looking stuff guys. Can't wait to see those pikies painted up. perfect size. I've been running behind and hope to be able to get all the stuff I started ready to bring with me to plugfest. Here's what I have have cleared so far and I have a bunch more painted or in primer.

These are the three sizes of lipless swimmers I've been playing with. The biggest one needs cleared but threw it in just for scale. The smallest one is my crappie (or crappy) paint job.

And the rest are some unrigged swimmers, a small slow sinking baitfish that I have a few more of, and some one of pencils. I did some holographic foil on some stuff and while it looks cool, it's a PIA and I probably am done with it.

Very nice builds. Here's a bit of what Ive been working on. Some time in the cave is the only thing that's been getting me through this winter. Cant wait for Spring.

Greek, as always, your paint and finish are flawless; just curious, do you apply the eyes after epoxy, cause they look perfect.

Mmmmmmm.......tastey!:drool:

hi Larry, great videos and pics. Question about the lip for the Creek Chub; did you make the lip? I have an old CC Pike I got at a yard sale that I wanna make too. Thanks

They are far from flawless but thanks. I set my eyes as I am doing my topcoat and epoxy over them. I used to not epoxy over them but have given up on that and I like the way they end up this way.
