I'd have that thing sitting on my dresser like VB's daughter does.

Very surprised .. Well known builder worked his arse off reproduciing this .. has a sliding weight inside and all held together with brass cotter pins and soddered

Sorry Peter that didn't sound right. I meant well.

stripersniper did sliding weights
I have one of his plugs, he used to wrap rods

Nice stuff. I hadn't a clue.

CS. Last guess. I am going to bed.

it will be prominately displayed in a glass case, wait till you see the case I build for it :soon:

The wigglet is macs..So is the 2 fish tail lures.
I'm surprised Tagger didn't recognize the Kuzia.

I know what they are ... Stan gave it to me ... You know all of them Nib ...

Thanks good nite

Oh that's the wiglet, I remember that link, I want to make one now, Again. not enough time in the day, so many plugs :hihi:

Paul, this week if I finish some tailhooks, you can borrow my vise, or just come get it Wed. either way OK

Mac made the yellow one

Thanks Bruce I appreciate it.

Slip ... You win ..I was pulling for you ... you did all the work .. I don't know if many here know etch or Killies work ..

The only one I did not know was the Batmobile darter.I would guess u made it though..
I have seen striper swipers plugs for sale commercially.here in NJ..

No problem Paul

thanks tagger, it was fun, even with the internet being unplugged several times while trying to post and read

I always wanted Killie to do a plug to give to my dad, he loves lighthouses, just never got around to asking him, does he still post over there.

Killie is a great guy .. pm him over there .. work whatever deal works for the both of you ,, I sent him a blank Nike because it was big .. He is very slow though ... I mean like a year .. Etch makes killer freshwater stuff .. His frogs are mint ,, does alot of hand painting on his stuff ...
Let me know what you want me to build and I'll get buisy .

I did not know Numbshull made the little fish tail plug..
I was pretty sure it was not mac's.Altough i remember him makin em with the groves in the tail.The size had me confused.

I don't see no darter there Nib .. ????? I like the idea of a batmobile darter... maybe next years plugfest entry ..

the fancy one with the eyes and hair was numbskull, not the little one

Nib ... . That darter type is Numbskulls .. He calls it a Surf Hootie... Girls face when you see it from the front with long blonde hair ... Mac did make the little fish .
I'm surprised you did know the Stan Kuzia plug ..

Ok, here's my guess.

Did I win? :musc:

-spence

So the only thing i did not know was Numbskulls thing with the hair on it..
I feel weird even saying that.
I was not sure in the painted thing was Killie's or Don's wifes..
I remember the Kouzia by the weight on the outside.U had posted them before..
I look all the time but i mostly don't comment much..
U know why..:D

lol ,,nice try ...its over

Nice U got em all but ur too late..
It's over Johnee.

No .. I was pretty sure you always comment .. That Numbskull thing was a one of a kind "Plugfest"contest entry he made goofing on me . It was looked at as a joke in the contest but if you take a second look its an amazing piece of work in handcarve. I don't know who's hair it is.

it's certainly not my hair...

Hey Eddie.....here's a tough question.....which of those plugs would you be comfortable using (and maybe losing)? Seem's like there is always a dilemma when you give or get plugs from other builders. The nicer you try and make them, the less likely they are to get used.

From the ones you've shown, I'd throw the Bernzy, Smith, Slip's, and Lu's. What criteria do people go on when deciding what to fish?

Good one George .. You don't know the history .. means something to me .. Bernzy Howdy I got in a swap I think 5 yrs. ago .. Thats first time , first run he ever made a Howdy .. Lu's I have another to throw. I just like that plug and lu's work enough to showcase it .. Slips I like the design of the pencil and thats a Fishing freak paint job on it .. may copy the pencil to throw . Ryans is on the fence .. they are sold commercialy so I can get another and I don't have many jointed plugs although I do have more RM Smiths .. I might have to get that one wet .
