Finished up some

I gathered some of the plugs I have finished recently for a couple photos. I will be bringing most of these with me to PlugFest but I am holding out on revealing some others I will bring. For now at least. :)

A school of peanut bunker ranging from 3.5 - 4" body length. This batch floats just under the surface at rest but I am making some slow sinkers now.

Some slow sinking jerk bait/glider type plugs. Herrings are 5.5" and the mackerel is 7".
Attachment 44151

A bunch of small sandeels I have done very well with in the past. They are 4.5" and sink level at a medium rate. (a belly hook was not helping the action of these small needles in testing and bass were able to suck the whole thing in anyway so... .hehe)

A few dark plugs with eyes made from a plastic material (I got and cut at work) called "solar flare". Stuff is like a color changing mirror.

I dont handcarve many large plugs but these I did do a couple big spooks. These have 7" bodies the needle and peanut are the same size as the others I posted.

Swish. They look wicked, dude. Wish I had a few of those peanuts on multiple occasions this season...

As a new plug builder all I have to say is you have got to be kidding me. They are amazing. Well done.
