A few new ones, ready for the weekend

Here's some swimmers I'd been trying to get done for the weekend. I've got a big plugging weekend planned with my dad.

The thin ones are the first ones we caught fish on, 5 1/2 " and just under 2 oz. The fatter ones are the same length, right around 3 oz.

We're mostly fishing nights, so I made us each a set of large and small black, pearl and black over gold. The bottom pearl one has a little pink in it..

For epoxy the small ones have e-tex, the largers ones have mirror coat. I wanted to do a little experiment to see how they hold up... I'm hoping these get the snot beat out of them this weekend...

These are the black over gold ones, but you can't see the gold on the big one too well though...

did You seal the plugs?
i like that fat yellow one

Yup, their sealed. Submerged in val oil for 24 hours then dried for 3 days before priming.

Funny how the yellow always looks the best, and yet I get most of my fish on simple pearl or black.
