that's looking pretty sporty.... I use mine for everything that requires and angle....I'll have it at Plugfest along with a bunch of other jigs and fixtures..

I finished a bunch of stuff this weekend...and spent both days ironing out the details on something for plugfest specfic...

I love the smell of that stuff!

I agree the whole shop smells like Christmas. This came from a tree I took down at my in laws down the cape. 40th anniversary coming up I am making them a bunch of stuff out of the logs. Got the final piece on the face plate now going to leave them on the counter at the cape house.

Bummed not getting to do any plugs this winter. Bought a house and it's keeping me far to busy. Hopefully for next winter I'll have my new shop all set up and get to it again. Some, seriously nice work being done on here.

George is the an explosion proof blower? If it is , that's something i could use doing my bat finishing.

Dan good luck with the new house. Place looks great.

Wow, nice work from many builders. Plugs and non-plugs alike!

I finally took a couple pics of what I have been up to lately. Some more of the slider/jerkbait type of plugs I like to make and fish in different sizes as well as some needles and some new swimmers I have been working on. There is a bunch of other stuff I did not get pics of yet.

A couple mahogany needles in mackerel and purple scale and a slow sinking slider. All right around 6" (pic is a bit distorted)


3 of my new swimmers. They are 5.5" and swim just subsurface to around 4 feet depending on retrieve speed. 2 macks still need epoxy.


A box of assorted stuff. HEAVY maple macks, herring and yellow sliders, blurple jointed etc.

And more...

2 heavy, fast sink maple mackerel sliders built for friends for the canal.


Assorted small stuff from 3.5 to around 7". All slow sinking.


And 1 pic of some of the collaboration work I have been doing with GooGoo Man. My mack paint on some of his fantastic slim pikies and super jr's. I also did some redfin style swimmers and nikes for him which I can't wait to see epoxy on.

J Mac beautiful stuff. Those sliders Offset turned?

Thanks. No, they are handcarved like most everything else I do, even the needles. I do not own a lathe. The only turned plugs I have been working on are the swimmers that Glen (GooGoo Man) has turned for me using my template/prototype.

Looks to be a jenn-air drown draft fan...made for grease.smoke etc...been using one for years....spray anything you want...I have an I'm still alive an well.....but it's made to have an 8" intake..5" out going....have one over my lead pot as well...what fumes.

Second to last batch for the winter just got lips 5 Musso 6" pines, 4 6" musso SS, 3 Eddy Needles, 2 A40s and a partridge and a pear tree

and the A40s

These are really cool!

Nice stuff, JMAC and Hookset!
I have just put five on the spinner with epoxy, and sealed another ten today. But with only nine days to go, it's awfully quiet in here......

Ross have that spook you sent me coated with epoxy right now, colors really pop, ill post some pics once its cured
