Update week one , 4 weeks to go. How is everybody doing on their plugs? Anybody start theirs yet? Mine are hanging waiting for epoxy. BM probably has his done. Keep up the good work guys:btu:

Oh ya . I'm getting on it this weekend ..

move Your arse taggage bastage:p and where is me tadwart
i just painted mine
maybe get them finished and then wire them by next week should be done.

I need wood ...I turned a bunch of Pikies like a freakin beaver..Ate up all my wood ..Pikies Ok ?? I got good Moores lipps..

gettin started this weekend.

Still designing... :smash: Was gonna do a 2 oz deep darter, but I don't have any fast water within drving distance to test it. It works fine in flat water, dives down and runs like a drunken sailor at about 8-10 feet, but it will pop out occassionally at a fast retrieve, so it still needs tweaking. I'll probably turn out a tried 'n true popper design I worked on all summer... slightly under 2 oz... the way I saw some of you canal casters slinging lead in the Ditch, this thing outta be outlawed in your arsenal... even in a headwind, it flies like a small rocket at takeoff. Blue over silver OK?

Sealing mine today... will need to wait a week before painting.

blue over silver NICE!

I've been playing with a prototype needledfish/darter/? . Right now without finish and hardware it weighs in at 2.8 oz.. Watch'yall think go with it or is it too heavy for most ?????? ep:confused:

Sounds good to me :D

Sounds good to me too:D

well epoxied them today

tadpole i want tad pole. and now i want that blue pink white danny NGuy:smash:

I'm still fishing(and snapping off plugs). I did think about starting today but watched TV instead.:happy:

im making something nutz, it aint a pencil danny or popper, but its like those 3. i made a smaller version a LONG time ago, like the 1st year i was making and it took my first fish on a plug. its now improved and bigger. pictures tuesday i think.

I'm in primer ....

tadpole:smash:

just finished turning my set (not TV set) of plugs:happy:
...covered in dust...now the hard part begins...

If I did'nt have all this work on the house I would have got in on it. I won't be spinnning for awhile...:(

Newell Guy how about PM'ing me an address so I can send out these plugs by Monday. ep:D

I wish I had a videotape of all you guys at work. :happy:

Ben and you would turn that into another one of those mindless etc. etc. etc. hi ben:wiggle:

Hi Ray. :wave:

I am not a maker just a drooler of all your fine work.:drool: Let me suggest that instead of a raffle that an auction take place for the site for the collection. AND that you guys each put your small signiture on the belly of the plug to be auctioned. This would make it quite unique as a collectable and bring the most $ for an auction. I myself would push the fiscal limits for a complete collection of all your work.
Just a suggestion.

That will be up to John. He can do with them as he sees fit. Personally I think they would fare better if auctioned seperately.:)
