There....I feel better now! :heybaby: Sweet, sweet plugs Capesams...you been busy. :rolleyes:

Hey Capesams
 

How did you get started building lures.. a history lesson

the squid is the same size and shape as the atom 40..was spinnin up a few atoms when I thought of rearrangin the back end.

the 2 pc..squid...back end is from a hard ta find vintage and I just added my own head an cut it//jointed.

the ballerina[my childhood go to plug] is made out of very old pine from exterior doors.

started carving shore birds an decoys when I was 14[long ago] then started bangin nail's after school..that turned into furniture/kitchen's/custom moulding/reproduction's of all kind's....then since I had all the tool's /wood know how//paint etc. I just switched over to building plug's as fun time..plus I've been fishin since 9 so I kinda know what works and what don't.

ps...been buidin rods since 73 an that got abit boring so that helped turn me on to plug's too,,something different.

Busy, busy, busy.......
