Bernzy, I got the samples in, will yap tomorrow, just came up from cave.
Bernzys plug is a proven fish catcher as allot of You know, when I fish some thing and like it I yap about it. I make a squid plug that has caught a ton of fish and has been tested ,so now I have a few and the Ho eben has 1 what has spawned from that is a pencil type squid that is longer . its in the action and the ease of use and tweaking of a plug that is my reward. I cant wait to paint this new plug and trash it next year.
I was working on Danny's for a year or so but wanted them to stay on top, I was looking in others bags and seeing how the plugs were tuned and noticed the sacrifice made on action to keep the lure up. ?not bad on a solid color? but you will run into trouble on multi colored plugs,
so I made the body fatter and tweaked and cam up with the phat boy that has caught me bass to 40 lbs.
I have some needles and I have came up with a needle that floats at rest and will swim and dart when retrieved
and a few other choice needles that are hard to make yet swim and catch very well. For those who have fished with me or chartered You may have seen a yellow plug in my bag and that is the best swimmer I have in My cave, simple Yet long to make.
I guess Im lucky to come up with this stuff and the copy thing can get old and kinda hurts when You see Your work being sold.
But its a form of flattery. when I look for a plug I look at the fisherman behind the plug. and for those who make there own and test and tweak good for You for the reward is far greater and ruff looking plugs made By a guy who can whoop on fish is better than a copy'd lure with the weighting all frigged up, cause in the end its the bent rod that counts.
have I been holding back on eye candy
this can relate to fishing ,it was taboo to talk about places and all of us sneak's around. the Falmouth crew of the 80's and early 90's. #^&#^&#^&#^& I drove by one of my best friend for almost a decade with huge fish in may and June until we talked. and it wasn't about where it was where to get bait and dirt roads along with tides. and shared info and each others word.
the point is once again research out Your own thing, Me I did it with a map and a chart both from boat and shore. do I know every thing ,,,,Nope..... never will.
But I will say a beach that allot of guys sucked last year put out if You knew where to fish and it was common sense to fish that flat pc of crap sand in the steepest drop off
