So Whats On Your Agenda?
 

What types of plugs are you planning on building this winter??? Will you have them on display at PlugFest!

Another builder (who shall remain nameless) came by yesterday and was kind enough to gift to me his copy of an original Floyd Roman Nike......so I have the bug to turn some of those!:drool::drool: The curves of that plug have always tickled my tastebuds! I will also be focusing on some smaller offerings for my bag to use both in freshwater and from my kayak!:drool:

So what are you brainstorming for the winter building season???

I don't have an agenda

Are you sure?
most everybody has an agenda ;)


But, like you Bruce, no agenda here..more than enuf of them already...

I am hoping to spend some time in the shop, after I dig my way towards it, this winter, conrads, pikies, surfsters, are on my list as well as a some of the stuff I have done before..... If time allows, I may re-visit darter hell (:fury::smash:) for a bit... if i wanna make myself crazier that is...

I unfortunately lost my one and only Karl needlefish this year so my agenda is to practice my ho'ing skills qand try to get another.:wave:

snif snif...
do i smell lu tools?? ;)


lu, i hope it weren't a snap off... hope it was in something swimmin..

i'll put ya down for a needle and maybe something else :)

more of the same ... need needles... old friends 9" blue/white and small 6" olive... More pencil poppers ,especially knockoff a 5.25" 80's factory loaded cordell wich ruled the rivers this spring.. More work of an eely type danny I been playing with... It caught a couple of fish in the canal .. would like to try mahogony eely ... Also a gibbs type profile ,,darter (black) with single belly hook ,for BI... Have one I made a couple of years ago seems pretty good .. I have a real Atom Jr. I'd like to knock off and weight it to 2 3/4 ounces like the Franky D daul 50's one .. I'd like to make an oray of needles with snout's like Spofford and pointy arse like Norris .. And 1 Flaptail ... I didn't forget you Ray ... fear not ..

to finish the 269.5 I started 3 winters ago....ahh f-it,they all look great in white primer..where's the hooks.

Thanks Karl i guess i won't have to practice as the force is still strong in me.:devil2: What lu tools you need?

I'm going to mess around with some different woods and I like the donny shaped swimmers a lot so I'm going to play with that shape a bit and see what I can do with it.

I turned one nike shaped plug last year and never got it finished so I'll probably go back down that road. I think theres a lot to learn there and I have a few things I want to try with that shape.

Other than that, probably just some long distance casting topwater for the canal. If I get to it I'd like to experiment with some eelskin stuff too.

Work on some handcarves. Make some more Lefty style swimmers.
Build up my stash.

the list is long... and I've already got a bunch done ( one advantage to calling it a season in mid October)..

Yes they will be on dispaly at plugfest...

IM going to do what EASTENDLU said--->practice my ho'ing skills --- :uhuh:
LARRY--> SORRY:smash: MR. BIG FISH, could I get one of thoes-->Floyd Roman Nike look-alikes from you.when you turn some. I don't have ANY, not 1.:fury:
