Nice Day
 

Anyone testing out new creations today?:lurk:

My wife and I are looking at a house where the back yard backs right up to a small pond :hihi:

I tested yesterday.
It felt like fishing season was nowere in sight.

Numbskull, Tagger and I stood on a guano covered dock in Sandwich and tested some stuff. Tagger and Numby really do some nice work.
Artists really. Made my stuff look like chit I always feel inadequate when they are testing thier latest creations.

Thanks for lunch George!

Your kidding .. I was throwing mine looking at that jointed lepard you were throwing ... felt like jumping in and :humpty: it ... I had a couple of lipped needles.. With me its brute force and ignorance .. hit or miss.. Numby actually thinks about stuff ,angles, and heights of loops and weights,, sometimes speaking in tongues... what the heck was he talking about .. I nod my head knowingly and walk away .. have no clue .. Great morning with yous guys rumaging through Carls basement ..

Wishing i was there :nopain:

i was out slinging new pencils.

Now that would be SWEET:kewl:

Not too happy with these ,,, tried some rock maple to get down.. Lazy swimmers but did suspend.. Already swaped hooks to smaller size .. The bottle plugs a Hahn ,, dud of the day ..

tested out the toboggan today.
nice looking plugs there eddie.

damn..:drool:

funny .. I heard from a very good source they were the best in the ditch ... I'm talking coming from a true blue Gibbs man .. I didn't throw it in curent ... just reeling in ,,it came skipping in, on top like a small flounder .. In desperation I put a 5/0 VMC on the belly to anchor it down I hope . I don't understand the physics of a bottle ... very touchy plug I'd say .. Numby is brain storming now . when the smoke settles I'll ask him whats the skinny ..

In fairness, I think the Hahn will swim in fast current OK. It's problem,
which some of mine share, is that it is too bouyant and as you slow your retrieve it looses its bite and comes to the surface. That is no good for a plug you want to fish in slower water in the dark. Fixing it is not as simple as adding weight, however, since the shape of the face is important as well. One of the things I've come to appreciate is that a truely good plug will do what you want it to do in different conditions and at different retrieve speeds, even when you can't see what it is doing. Achieving that goal is no easy feat.
