Tagger.. WOW :claps:

Thanks Salty ... Magna Strike marched to a different beat ,, Everyone was making fishlike baits ,, they made aliens .. I really like that creepy lure ... thanks guys .. Other than darters and predators I don't know if any of these new ones even work ... I just learned yesterday when knocking off plastic to wood you have to make the lip larger to compinsate for weight of wood ... whoops .. new learning curve ..

Eddy, very nice, very nice indeed! Can't wait to see those in person.:wave:

WOW:claps: :claps: :claps:

I'm crushed.

As usual, you set the standard I strive for, someday.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, glad to see you're back. I was wondering where you went.

Me too!!!

So when you going to start the fan club?:happy:

Stunning stuff. :claps:

Ah George old man, I know you are working on something in that mad scientist lab in your basement. How about posting something?

Youve been too quiet and that scares me.

Come clean, I know you got stash.:uhuh:

I can't compete but they should do what they are intended to do.

a few more

Bruce! Wicked nice! You know, I can tell a Slipknot plug anytime, you have a signature tail loop. Gibbs had one, Pond had one too.

I think those slant faced poppers have a date in the "Jenna Rose"!

Slip, you've been busy. :btu: I like the ones witha a li'l patina look. :hihi:

Please bring that most awesome figured maple needle with ya to the fest again this year. :D
Thanks.

That middle danny looks damn near perfect to me, Slip.

And Flap, I've been busy but have nothing past primer at this point. Got to swim some tomorrow....still alot of weighting issues to work out.......but I think I'm close.....we'll see.

:drool:.. those are gorgeous! :kewl:

yep , patina, that's what it is :D

OK, I'll bring the one and only I have that matched the first one I made. Tried to duplicate it, but haven't succeeded quite yet.

Well George, it's close enough. I don't like belly grommets anymore. That danny blank was one of 2 out of 24 that was heavy for some reason, so we'll see how she swims.

Slip.. how you cutting your lip slots? They are perfect.
And what U using for lips? Making your own?

Bandsaw on those
sometimes a handsaw

NJtackle and moores on lips




That yellow pencil is 3-1/2 ounces

I gotta get a better, (wider blade) bandsaw....

NICE stuff Tagger :kewl:
what kind of wood are those alien plugs anyway? Back when I made them I used red cedar for their lightness and they swam great as long as I was precise with the body profile.
You Have to do some trading with me at the fest OK

Neat shapes, interesting idea on to nose loop, and peerless finishes as usual. Inspiring.

Mike great looking plugs love the spook .. I got Capesams one like that exactly almost .. Slip great plugs ,, I know they catch .. I seen you down there .. I'm making the Predators out of white pine .. love the stuff .. smells like christmas ,,, darters are hardmaple .. handcarves basswood and rock maple .. I have a love/hate thing going with ayc ..Great for plugs ,,bad for me .. been back in forth with it enough to know its the wood giving me headaches that I never usaully get .. I don't wear a respirator either .. just full face sheild to preserve my good looks ... I need more wood ... Off to Downes and Reader to give them all my cash and pray the tally man don't rob me too bad . :happy: :walk:
