I'm getting towards the end of a wiring/epoxy marathon (my least favorite parts). It will be nice to get to the end. I still have a few things I want to try but wanted to get all the in process stuff done/out of the way first.
The darters are all ones I refinished, the one at the bottom is one of George's.
Second pic is some new needles. I had an issue with the green paint and the epoxy interacting so those look like crap but fish wont care. Larger ones are pine, smaller ones are maple. Both types are right around 1.6 oz.
Last pic is a shorter/fatter proto type version of a needle I usually fish in the fall. I made 3 of these last year (top one is the original which I did well on and took apart and refinished. I made a few more to try in different colors. Those are around 2 1/4 oz.
