making progress
 

I finally seem to be making some progress and wrapped up the spooks and needles I've been tinkering with. Maybe its a good thing I didn't get these done for plugfest.

The spooks are 3 oz, I did one up dark to try at night. The needles on the left are floaters made of pine and the ones on the right are maple. I kind of supersized them from the originals which are on the top of each row. They are all right about 2 -2 1/8.

Now I just have a small batch of misc odds and ends that I'm tired of kicking around that I want to get painted and then I can move on to something new. Seems like every year I lose about 1 of everything and somehow they turn up months later and I never get back to them. Here's a darter I finally painted thats been gathering dust on the worktable atleast 2 years. :smash:

that's ok, I'm sure I'll be hitting you up for one of those needles :uhuh:

those spooks are heavy, very nice :grins:

Yeah when it's time to fish those needles you'll know where to find me. :drool:

Hope the spooks aren't too heavy, those are a plug I haven't fished very much but I did make these ones a little heavy on purpose to try at slack in the canal. Can't wait to give them a try, May just can't get here soon enough.

Looking good Dave.

Pissa needles and you're right......you wouldn't have left plugfest with that darter.

Nice stuff Dave. :drool:

Needles are real nice.

DJ,

Beautiful plugs! I really like the pink mac spook:drool:


MS

All of those are really nice! Nice mackerel pattern

great stuff. those needles have a perfect shape and size.

nice work!

Looks good Dave... nice clean work as always.....seems everyone got a jumps start from plugfest ( or maybe it has finaly stopped snowing every other day) I finaly drilled some small Gibbs style pencils i turned in NOVEMBER.. and got them in the sealer.... as well as dahters and sand eels plugs....

Too heavy? No, just perfect for casting to BFT!:drool:

Diggin Jiggin LOVE the DARTER:drool::drool::drool:
GOOD LUCK GOOD BUILDIN:uhuh:

I'm just getting around to priming some plugs I have had sealed since last summer. Plugfest always seems to kick my rear in gear.

Nicely done Dave. Plugs look great. You must go through some serious lead :rotf2:! I don't think you've ever made a plug under 2 oz!

Love your needles!!! Always in my bag. First plug i started turning. . Great job.

I hear ya Mike. when I'm done with the last of the stuff I've got going I'll turn ya some stuff for tuna.. all it's gonna cost ya is an invite :grins:

Eric, PM me your address. I have something for you...

Ya when I get home from plugfest I'm always motivated to get some stuff done. Looking at everyones paint always gives me so many ideas to try out.

This made me laugh. I was going to go down and take a picture of my lead pile, but most of that gets used for jig heads...
