Here are a few things I have been working on.
A squid darter, the paint work was inspired by a flaptail squid, Greek had given me, lots of time into this one, redesigned my darter & am happy with the darting motion. 5 1/2" Nike, played with them a bit and although the original was unweighted I found them to swim better with a bit of lead in them. Handcarves are my new obsession! The yellow one is a 7" redfin copy, the middle one is an 8", I wanted a slightly larger plug, the 3rd one is 11" around 4 oz , the mackerel paint was done by Jmac, they look lifelike! |

A few more,
6 1/2" Nike, borrowed an original off of Gremlin, Thanks Jamie! Reduced the tailweight a bit & made 2 different versions, single & double hooks, also AYC & sugar pine, added a little more belly weight in the single hook version to compensate, this plug has a darting motion that is very awesome! Not sure how the original swam, but am very impressed with them. Next batch is some skinny pikies Fatneck & I made started messing with last year. & a few more darters, See you at plugfest! |
Beautiful work as always Glen. Love them all...but that squid darter ROCKS!!

Man, there is some incredible work on this post. My wife keeps asking what I am going to do with all these plugs and I tell her that "he who dies with the most plugs wins." Then I show her this post, yep she just rolls her eyes. Here are the final ones painted and waiting for tails. Three 7" Sandeel swimmers and two 4.875 musso swimmers. I messed up on the white one and must have drilled it for a high slot lefty #1, so we will see how that one swims. May be a good twist, little deeper.
Next year I am going to plug fest, this year I used all my vacation for my daughters swimming but this is her last year. Can't wait to see that event. |
Wow Glen the plugs look awesome with epoxy on them! (Not that they weren't great without!) I am glad you got the splatter you wanted on the squid paint, it came out fantastic.
It was my pleasure painting the macks. Anytime. Nice pluggage as well Hookset. I like the shape of those slim sandeel swimmers. |
awesome squid
