$600.00 lure
 

I hope this works .
This is a picture of my first lure .
After adding up the cost of a duplicator , spinners , airbrush , paints , hardware . various tools , etc. this plug cost me about $600.00 :rotf3: .
Thanks for the help getting me started , ............... maybe . :jester: .

damn nice $600 plug :kewl:

well look at it this way, after you make 600 lures, they will only cost you a dollar...

nice poppah :D

So hurry up otherwise it will be real expensive if a bluefish steals it.
This sounds like my wife explaining why she had to buy something on sale, or me if it's important stuff for fishing.

worth every penney ..what eles would you be doing ??? :faga:

Beautiful work Dan. :drool: :kewl: At $600 ya got away cheap. :hihi:

way to go

you got from making it...

I just bought a custom surf rod....because...as i told my wife...

it is on SALE ...and that next year the price will be going ^ UP ^

and even though it was definately not in the budget,
because of
that reason... it being ON SALE ...i have one now . :wavey:

Trade it with someone for a vanstall---it is THE original, after all


Your one of us now.....U decide if its good or bad :devil:

Yeah , it keeps me out of the bars , ........ well mostly.
:gu: :rotf3:

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :cheers:

Thanks , does being "one of us" involve a support group or a 12 step program ?
:rotf3:

Nice looking $600 lure :)
ya done good

Yes. Give me 12 plugs and everyone else will support what you did :jump:

Thats a heck of a first plug.

My thoughts exactly - for a first - that is REALLY NICE!!!

Ditto, and worth every penny. (and you will spend more)
You've set the bar high, now you have to top yourself :D

Thanks for all the positive feedback from everyone , I owe everything I know about making plugs from this forum . :thanks:
Just for the record , the top half of the plug is redwood which came from an old redwood fence and the botton was a piece of scap maple . I glued the pieces together with titebond 3 waterproof glue . Before gluing the halfs together I ran a vee router tip groove down the center of each piece creating a perfect center wire channel . I finished with e-tex .
Any questions about the glue holding up , .......... I've had a plug glued up and submerged in water for about a month now and it's still holding strong.
Thanks again
