I wasn't able to get Alaskan cedar so I got some mahogany and cedar dowels. That is tubebraid , it looks awesome in person. It has enough wieght to float with the tip up slightly.
I caught a fish at Watch Hill Sat. night on my first cast with it. Habs says I should retire it now. I can make more. |
OK - so do we have a vote? Sounds like we need a plug builders forum. Tatoo & Slip for Forum leaders?
And start up some location based forums? Cape Cod & the Islands & the Ditch? South Shore Mass to Cape Anne? Points North? Rhody & CT? Points South & West? (Saltheart and I have, of course, complete moderation capabilities as well :p ) |
In regards to my post about you aint seen nothing yet.....it was directed to my two cohorts, BM and Slip. The more I thought about it the more I thought I was showing off. Sorry to offend anyone. :D

One short of a six pack. :D I think if the parrot had wings it could fly..... |
BM and Slip that is some nice work. I went out last night looking for a lathe. The minis at Wood workers were 300 and up. Slip how do you like rigid tools. The reason I am asking is I can get a full size for about 300 at home depot, then I can do pool cues and shafts also. My buddy works at Home depot and he may happen to find an "open box discounted one" if ya know what I mean.
John this place is getting popular. It might be nice to do it like you said. Tatoo those are some nice plugs. If we start a plug building forum you guys might have to run a work shop somewhere. |
Specialist,
Before you buy check out http://www.grizzly.com for lathes. Great quality machine and you can get the mini for $149.00. |

Shoot...anybody can make a pointy stick and put hooks on it.Needles are nice but variety is the spice of life.Here's my stuff.
http://www.pixhost.com/pixp/poltroon/mvc-806s.jpg Hands off BM!!! Didya ever notice BM has little squid like suction cups on his fingers?Plugs just naturally stick to his fingers.Goes with the webby toes. I still got my plugs cause tattoo and slip run interference for me now. Hey Tattoo!I think that's really funny how you tell BM those darters are 2 oz. when there really 6 oz. It was a real hoot when he busted his rod last week.Think'll figger it out?....Nah.Not a chance.I think he should get one of them ugly stick thangs. Wait'll he finds out I cut his line every 100 ft and spooled it back on his reel.:eek: |

LMAO - I'm thinking that both should be co-conspirators on the board - if they want to. Besides - it looks like there will be a team effort needed to stop this:

Sweet stuff Tattoo. Nice work - I'll, uhh, have to inspect 'em a little closer like - knowhaddamean?
Seriously, nice plugs. How long have you been making them? |
John ,lmao.

John, been messing around with this for about two years now. This year was the make 'em catch fish AND look real pretty year.
Dave, holding out? Not me...:D |
FOLK'S
I THOUGHT I WAS BAD. THIS JUST CONFERMS WHAT I HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS. FISHING STRIPERS IS NOT A SPORT, IT IS AN ADDICTION. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH FISH CANDY! REMEMBER IT IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT LENGTH, WIDTH, AND COLOR.AS IT IS ALSO ABOUT “PRESANTATION”. LATER :cool: |
And to think I am still woking on my first bucket full. Looks like I have a long way to go.....
|
My inventory is about 2/3 of what BM has in his, uhh, first picture. Many of the plugs I have suck or at minimum, need a rework...
Of course, I fish EELZ |
Snakes huh? Maybe you could try out a "prototype" eel skin swimmer?
I haven't built one so it would really be a prototype. |
