Here's an old warrior courtesy of a west-coast friend.
Thanks Winch:happy:

Sweet, I have a few of those. May have to redo them.

Sweet looking Plug Bernzy!...

Surprised you didn't create it!

Thanks Bliz, I wish I could take credit for designing the Creek Chub Pikies ;)
But, I did make these scaled down versions based ( loosely) on the original design.

Bernzy

WOW!!!

Those are MINT!!!

Nice work man!

Thanks again for the needle you had sent out to me!

Your plugs are AMAZING!...

Those are Beauties for sure! :D

Bliz, Thanks for the compliments.

The needle was my pleasure. Hope it nails you a LARGE.

Bernzy

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Those are gorrgous Bernzy!!!! My money is on that top one! ;)

Killer looking pikies bernzy :happy: Those should do well down this way. Hope you pick up a few scars on them this weekend :)

Quite nice looking plugs. I have a question on the lips. After you have cut them to shape and size do you apoxy them in place? and is the through body wire going through the lip? The only swimmer's I have made have been with carved wooden lips.

:confused:

Thanks:

Armand

Hi Armand,

The lips I use are pre-manufactured. The plugs are turned from yellow cedar and thru wired with 116L stainless. After painting, I assemble the plug ( lip, wire, swivels etc. ) then I apply the epoxy finish.

Hey Bernzy,
I used the little brother of that purple haze and she swam like a champ! The bass are still smalll but it was nice to see wood swim like that. Can I put an order to do some more repainters for next year?:D

Hey Winch,

Glad you like the paint :D Hopefully, they swim the way they were meant to.
Send those beaters my way, I'll fix em up :hihi:

paint that changes color
 

first of all those plugs are unbelievably nice very well done!!.
just a thought though, if you wouldnt mind some tech talk.
my neighbors shop has this truck (hes a painter of cars expert)
that completely changes color as you drive/walk by it because of the higher degree of minute particles for the metal flake in the paint. The paint is extremely expensive costing 300 or so a pint.
seeing those plugs reminds me of that truck sorta. its blue then changes to purple and then green.... i wonder if that concept could be utilized in plug makin.

Raven,

You could certainly apply the same ideas to plugs. Most of us include some glitter in with the clear coat. Chamilion colors from Createx paints are similar to what you describe, they'll change color a little depending on the light.
