Finally found some time to finish something!

Wow has it been hard to get in the shop and get anything done.....man depressing.
At any rate I was able to finish up a few J-bugs and Flaptails. I've made some changes to both which have been well received. I fattened up the J-bugs just a little and shifted from the dressed tail hook to the extended treble. This has dramatically increased the hook up percentage with the Muskies. The Flaptail here still needs hardware, but I changed the head angle so it would dig a little bit and really shortened up the flaptail bade lead and it has made it a louder and more erratic "flapper" (didn't have hardware attached on this guy). I have a batch drying now that will be ready to roll.
I hope everybody is surviving winter (I haven't even been able to get into my heated shop with the cold).
Best,
MS
