Thank you all for your kind words. I didn't know how it would be received but I had to do it for him and this thread was the perfect opportunity. I can only hope that he is as proud of me as I am of him and as I am proud of my association with all of you on this site as well. Thanks again, Steve S.

That being said, now it's time for more plugs.........:claps: :claps: :claps: :claps: :claps: :claps: :claps:

While at the dinner table last evening the doorbell rang and the UPS man delivered a package from Gibbs Lures. In it was these two samples of thier new color for 2004, "herring". I I just can't wait to pitch these two into the surf. Thanks Dennis and Dan!

Nice colors.They have always been my first go to colors in the Mega Bait lures. Usually they produce the first hits.:D

Lookat Steve still gets samples from Gibbs.............CS them squids are cool .

I was drooling over those at the RISAA show, they look very tasty.:) johnny "the Ratt Boy"

Steve, I know what SPAM is and I know what you are thinking and don't go there because it's no way near that. I think the color is awesome, plain and simple.:hs: :rtfm:

more work done on the future stash, now they need epoxy:hihi:

Got Slip Plugs? Slip, is the bottom one yours? BM? I can't remember.

:hee: :hee: :hee: heeheehee
That's an interesting question Adam and I can see why you asked :D
I have one of those too.

BM and I collaberated on 2 of those swap plugs pictured there, ya see he turned the jointed needles for me for my swap plugs and I turned the small pikie bodies for the same swap, then we both painted our own - I painted and finished the jointed needles and he painted and finished the small pikies :D Simple see?:smash:
So, to answer your question, yes and no :)

Weren't those 3 plugs - the yellow pikie, the small pikie and the jointed needle- from a swap where 10x10 was in on it and we got Kenny's very last creations? :( the squid and I think a yellow needle.

I think you are right Slip.

Im glad You remeberd cause I didnt
how come that plug aint brown:laughs:

cuz it' s red cedar, not ayc scraps from some childlife swing set cuttoffs :p

No finger joints.I have the jointed needle also :D I want a slip pencil popper Hay Slip is yellow red head ur favorite color?

:eek: After all this posting and going down to my basement and seeing still more plugs I just had an epiphany!

I GOT WAY TOO MANY PLUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:s pin: :spin: :spin:

Well hurry up then Flapper... take some more pics, and get 'em posted!

We're waiting!
:laughs:

Flap, I thought having too many plugs was not posible. If you think you have too many, I will be happy to take the excess lures.
Just the kind of guy I am, always trying to help out! :rolleyes:

Adam, I am thinking of unloading a great deal of my collection actually, It's just morphed into a big living thing and it's money just sitting there doing nothing for the most part. I see pictures of others stuff all the time. The picture of how wastefull it is to have too any is Dave Manzi's. 90% of those plugs he has made himself and he has hundreds more in various stages of completion. He cannot and never will use a tenth of them and thas just plain crazy, If anything this plug thread has opened my eyes to this. I love to fish and you can only fish one plug at a time and only certain plugs in certain colors work reliably year after year. I will keep a hundred or so collectibles but I am definetly going to unload hundreds more in the near future, it's stupid having all this stuff:confused:

Let us all know when the garage/yard/basement/attic sale is going to take place, will you!:bl: I need "too many" plugs.:btu:

Steve I hope You pass Out with stiff Tip on a deserted island:D
Hows that slpnuts

Dave, I know you're joking but can you tone down your last post a bit or I will delete it like I did that last one a few days ago. PM him or something, this thread is no place for that kind of yakking:p

yac this:D

u guys
 

u guys need plug's :)

Put this up in another thread but thought it might do good here too.
