And you were damn good to start with.

Hey, congrats on the new baby, cute one... adjustin' in well with the boss cat?

How do those danny's swim with the one belly hook?
I was thinkin' of doing that, but thought they had to be 2 :huh:

COOL, I like that Spaceneedle.

I see some widget dannys too :)

Txs..Crash.....for the sake of arugument, I call mine surf walkers.

Karl..black cat plays with it while the white cat runs:rolleyes:the dang thing runs sideways an bounces at the same time.

gibbs liked those, their just baby's too.:D

Slip...that's what I call my seaweed needle......those little danny's came from one I picked up from Jim Grechy when he owned gibbs,,but u gave me the idea to make them...txs.

:eek: Wow, sweeeeeet plugs CS. I guess ya did spend a little extra time painting:D

I'm getting use to rattle cans...no airbrush on those:hee:

:D WOW:cool: Done with rattle cans? WOW

FINTASTIC!!:D

Nice knock-offs CS :smash: :af:

Those 2 fat dannys have an awesome shape and the silver scaleing on that needle is beautiful!:btu:

BEAUTIFUL WORK CS!

REELY NICE Paintin is my favorite part the scalin is beautiful.I'll take the jointed plug now thanks.

That is a full fledged plug orgy!!! They are AWESOME!
:kewl: :kewl: :kewl: :kewl:

And with spray cans! Very impressive.

txs. guy's....spray cans work well once you get to know how each one act's. templet's,netting all work the same with spray cans as with an airbrush.

BERNZY.....have you looked at a old heddon zaragossa plug lately? those were made long before you came along...atleast six different company's made that same shape, so before you make a total fool of yourself claiming it's your, do some research first.

NIB...12 of those just went to RI...I'll be makin more...those are murats lrg. jointed....just remind me later on to save you one or two.

CS,
wow! that is some excellent work dude! i have to admit,even though the fish probably don't care,i too get into playing around with the painting thing.your paint schemes are awe inspiring!

are you sure about the zaragossa thing? i thought they were those sort of triangle shaped critters that in my opinion were a hard bait spoof on the sluggo craze? i think i still have a couple of those things lying around some where.your the first person i have ever heard mention them.for how great they looked in the water,i never caught a darn thing on them:(

guzz

GUZZ..I have many old plug catolog's /reference books...hundreds of colored pages ....my go to book is by Karl T.White,,a must have if you can find one....it doesn't show every plug built, but it sure cover's alot of old time maker's/company's.....one stroll through that book an you'll see many of the same shapes from different company's....in fact I had my hands on a brand new heddon zargossa this weekend at a flea mkt..in the box....other than the screw on haredware there's no way you can the different's between bernzy's,mine an this heddon, other than the size differents...the heddon is only about 31/2" long.....if it didn't get sold last sunday, I'll blow the $$ an pick it up from the guy[he's bringing some goodies for me next sunday] an I'll post a pic.......yea! painting is half the fun..wait till you see the next one's.

can't wait dude! and thanks for the info on the plugs.

Bernzy Ur post is out of character.So U made a copy of a old design an some folks had some success with it.Another talented builder makes one similar an u jump on him.U should be flattered.not insulted.I hope that I'm reading U wrong.But isn't that what this forum is all about Sharring successfull design's.Anyhow Its all been done before.I haven't seen one plug that isn't a copie of a older design (except for some Bad first runs).Lefty Kreh who has come up with many fly patterns has the right idea when he says "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery".If U ever get the Chance to meet Capesams I'm sure U'll agree.Its tough to meet a finer individual.It's just a fishin lure.

Cool paint on those Capesam :kewl: Can't believe you did that with spray cans :eek: thats some talent.

You're right NIB. I am flattered :thanks:

I really don't know a lot about plugs even though I was a factory rep for both Heddon and Cotton Cordell for several years


Here's an original "Boy Howdy" which inspired me to make
these:

I agree with Jigs that is talent with a spray can. Nice work.

http://66.31.249.101/dsc00818.jpg

it's all in knowing how to use them,,that's the whole set up u see there. think layer's...one coat,let dry, next nite, another coat,,etc,,,till done.

Nice work CS!:btu:

zaragossa..next post is pic:smash:

Beautiful work CS and with cans at that!!:D :D

CS,when you do your scales how many coats do you use?
Thanks:)

I really like the 2nd one down:D

after the base color is on[ an well dried] I shake the can to death, then make two squirts in the air to make sure it's all paint that's coming out an not just the carryer,,then in ONE med-fast pass over the screening I let it have it,,,wait one minute if that an take the screen off....if you leave it on to long to dry, you'll find your screening welded to the base coat....repaint.


newlly...signed or not?

:D Signed of course:D

Thanks:)

Bernzy I never implied U don't know about plugs.An I didn't realize U were A S-B sponser/Plug builder.I always admired ur distinctive paint schemes.good luck in ur endeavors.I would bet the people at gibbs are loosin lots of sleep over all the danny's I see copied here.If ur plugs are good u won't be able to make enough.just ask Mr.Habs.The negative attitude is not good for biz.u attract more bee's with sugar. What do i know i only OWN thousands of plugs.

Nice plugs Capesams!

Now listen up folks... I think its time for a big S-B.com group hug :love:

No problem at all NIB. I was just voicing my opinion.
Thank you for the kind comments and well wishes.
