Pt. Jude used a cam shaft lathe.

Hi gone fishing do you happen to have a closeup of that yellow, white, and red number on the right in the right picture above? Looks pretty sweet.

FB is this the one?:musc:

:eek: WOW
Don... awesome paint :claps:

Wow that thing is pretty sweet! Even better up close!

Crap! Where do I get one of those?

PS. Eddy and Chris, I'm pretty sure they are unweighted, if I get a chance I'll check for sure.

pudgie pencil
 

this is my pudgie pencil popper
4" long with some lead in the tail.
i had just made 10 for a trade im doing.

Fred, that is some work there! North Truro for sure! ('Scuse me now I have to wipe up the drool):btu:

I used a surfster lip. I have a theory....Probably gonna hurt like the other theories....

Real nice Fred ... Surfster lip on a 40 ,,, never saw that before.. your the nuts ..

Nice plug.........nice dog. Looks smarter than my golden.

BBJ -- Like the 40, but especially like the reverse atom. :claps: Any trouble thru driling to get the wire eye in place where you have it? Did you drill to the hook hole in the rear and drill from the front to that hole? How does it swim? I have been meaning to try that plug scaled down just a little. Using a single hook in the center. :bl:

I drilled from the fat end to where the line attaches. Then I start the other end straight in and thed turn toward the rear. The way I've weighted them they lay dead flat in the water, because of where the line loop is it will leap up if twitched hard or slide if swept. It will also walk the dog. I only used a tail and a belly hook because a third hook is a PIA if you're not killing everything you catch. It's a plug that never was- a wooden reverse 40.

A few more bottles, now finished.

Here are my first plugs ever - turned them Saturday - big thanks to Baystalker for the lessons - especially the safety warnings!!!!!

This Danny shrunk & shrunk - here is whats left :as:

This one was a mistake :) After rounding I gouged too much - had to reverse the stock and try to save it. We'll see :fishslap:
