favorite plug to build
 
Hello everybody,
I've been away from the forum, my lathe, and the beach this Summer and Fall. I'm sitting here flipping through pics on the forum and getting fired up to make some sawdust this Winter. Since i'm really bored at work right now I wanted to ask everybody what plug do you enjoy making the most???

Last year was my first full year of making plugs and really liked making Danny plugs and big 3 1/2 oz. Musso style trollers. I was very happy with the finished product and the way they swam when I tested them out.

Again, what plug do you like to make the most? Pics would be a plus!
Great to be back!

Any piece of crap I can put epoxy on and trade to Prof M for something good is my favorite.

Any handcarved.

I like sexy metal lipped swimmers with curves! Having fun with the Floyd Roman Nike right now! I also like replicating the classics!:drool:

I like reproing the oldies and refinishing oldies. Spinning vintage style A-40's & Jrs. I have a slightly smaller jr which has a tail slug. I think it's called a A-54b.
