plugfest plugs..with time to spare
 
2 Attachment(s)
Just finished up some plugs for Saturday. I'm not the best at approaching people to swap so make sure you guys hit me up. I don't want to take any of these back home.

This plug is one I've been working on since Fall. I wanted a plug I could walk aggressively then stop, give a little pop then let sit. Walk, pop, sit. Etc. So this is what I came up with. It was a real pain to get weighted properly. To much tail weight, wouldn't pop right, too little and it wanted to glide. Front hook placement also helps keep the nose down. Length is important too, for the walk the dog action. Amazing what 1/2" will do. I started with my favorite plug as a platform (Bernzy surf howdy), then added some spook and popper characteristics.

It also gives a nice little pop/blurp noise when walking. Think there will be a number of ways to use this thing. So anyway here it is.

6.5", ~2.0 oz.

Damn! I just painted a wonderbread plug. It looks like crap compared to yours, more like a clown plug I guess. Live and learn. Beautiful stuff.

Slip beat me to the yellow.. but man.. I hope I find ya.. and have something you think worthy of a trade..
Nice Idea.. bet that is gonna be a catcher!

Thanks for the compliments guys. It's always nice to get the positive feedback from this group. Karl...you might stand a chance at the yellow. Forgot to mention these are my Moass plugs. Slip will be getting one. So he might let you have it. Either way your on the list. Be sure to save something for me. Might take awhile to find ya.

Numbskull...From what I've seen on here, I'd take any of your stuff...haven't seen a bad one yet!

VB...definitly. I thought Slip once told me you lived in my neck of the woods.

Your too funny Salty.
