First Shot at Making Plugs
 
I have been reading all these great post on lure making and had to give it a try. I bought a used lathe, and air brush a few dowels and now I am hooked, here is a photo of my first 3, any suggestions would be helpful, also I'm having trouble finding the center of the dowel does anyone have a hint.
Thanks

Very nice Plum. You can get a centering jig at woodworkers wearhouse for a couple of dollars.

Thanks guys this is turning out to be a great hobby, now if these plugs can catch a striper or two all the better. Your post to this board are very helpful.
Thanks Again

Those look nice!
Much nicer than my first attempts.
I'm sure those will catch fish. Good job.
