Happy New Year to all my striped bass buddies, may 2004 bring you the fish of a lifetime, don't forget to bring your rubber for safe fishing:).

I only bring the rubber when I got wood!:laugha: :hihi: :hs:

Happy New Year Everybody!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

Hope to see more of your products out there John!...

Congrats on a successful year!

BLIZ, You Will , You Will ;)

That's great news John!

My new years resolution is to add one of your signed needles and split pikies to my collection...

Will gladly send you a check for a pikie & needle when (or if) available... or I can pick them up at one of your distributors...

These aren't to fish, but rather, I have been working on putting together a display of the creations of the many craftsmen that are out there so that I can showcase their talents at future events...

Consider it a "plug" for Plug makers!...

So far, I've got a few contributors, and I'm hoping to get more who are out there who are willing to kick in a plug toward the cause.

If anyone is interested, please PM me as I would love to add your work to this collection that will be touring around eventually...

I am willing to purchase your signed creation if necessary...

THIS IS NOT A PLUG HO'ING SOLICITATION...

This is a project that is a labor of love for me... as there are some great craftsmen out there who have amazing hidden talent!

I'm hoping to bring recognition of those talents to the forefront in the near future...

Hopefully, I will be able to get these into some of our local publications!

Your work however John, is more than well established, and is classic for all of us in New England!... and beyond...

You'll be remembered with the likes of those such as Stan Gibbs and others!...

So, for those who are interested, I am looking for signed work only...

And John... Great Work! :)

happy new year to all, nice post bliz
