Welcome to S-B a great New Sponsor!
 

Labrador1 a/k/a RM Smith Plugs is the newest sponsor here on Striped-Bass.com. Many of you know him and know his plugs and that they have a few things going for them: They Swim, They Catch, They look good, and they tend to get "lifted" from your plug bag by sand sissys on the Cape :huh: (OK, so BM stole one out of my bag last fall)... I caught on a few of these last fall - very nice plugs (and did I mention available at some S-B sponsors too :hee: ?)

Anyway, most of you know the great stuff Ryan builds, seems to be tradition in his family to go a little beyond the norm with craftsmanship. So please welcome RM Smith Plugs as a Sponsor here at S-B...

Labrador1 - please post some pics :btu:

Thanks!

John

Ryan is the real deal, an uncompromising craftsman - even in the face of huge demand, he does not cut corners.

Ryan makes some of the best you will find...and he is a great guy to fish with if you ever get the chance!;) Congrats Ryan on your sponsorship!:kewl:

Congrats Ryan!:btu:

Thank you all for the warm welcome and for the kind words about my plugs! I would particularly like to thank John for the opportunity to be a sponsor. Many of my plugs go to site sponsors particularly Surfcasting Rhode Island and recently to Cape Cod Tackle - and a few have gone to some other shops. Those retailers will continue to be the main source for my plugs but I will utilize the sponsor's special section of this site to offer some of my jointed plugs or other items that I only run in small batches.

Thanks again for the warm welcome - feel free to contact me with questions anytime! Oh yes - and since you asked about pictures, I'll attach a weakfish plug - just to show you what I do when I've got too much time on my hands.

Ryan

Oh man that looks nice. Congrats.

Congrats Ryan and all I have to say about your stuff is
WOW :kewl:

This place is becoming a who's who of great builders!

Congrats Ryan and best of luck. :btu:
