First Dozen.....
 

almost done.
All I got to say is this, to anybody I've ever Ho'd a plug from, or been lucky enough to have been given a plug from, I can't thank you enough. Knowing now what goes into the process, as much as I apprecaited my customs before, I cherish them more now.

Still on a learining curve, and some more to do to these yet, but here's the first batch... I've copied a couple of these needle styles from Tony Sr., the fat ones he made produced many nice fish... hope these catch a few, if not they will make good kindling wood.

:eek: :btu: WOW Karl, those look like the fat ones will really push some water :)
Nice looking first dozen.

:claps: they look better then bm's....do I see a cs an a little ts sr. in there:D

Yep CS, Thanks a plenty, some TS, some CS for sure! :D

For all the kind words. :D

You all made it easier, wealth of info on here, if you use the search forum.

See what happens when you play with your plug....
 

KarlF....really nice work, I hope mine come out that good. Did you use an air brush to paint or spray cans???:confused: :btu:

Yellow upper right looks really nice... good job

thanks again
 

BF, all spray cans, don't own an airbrush

Mr. Sandman, thank you, that one fought me at every turn, but I persevered, the (dare I say) grain of the wood, did not like to get drilled, swivel hole angled out, had to go bigger and used a grommet. Weight holes wanted to walk, and even though I center punched, the eye holes wanted to walk on me, the easiest thing I drilled on that was the thru wire hole!
Like I said, Learning Curve.

Karl....nice job!

I'll be down shortly...:D
