Hi all, Thanks for all the replys.I'm gonna try to respond to all at once LOL. Well Big fish the derby was some very hard fishing this yr but all the stripers I got were on my plugs so I'm pretty psyched.I took 2nd place in the shore grandslam and tooks 2nd place shore striper in Octoberfish.The AYC is too boyant for what I'm using it for.
Salty I'm using 5/32 brad point as a pilot bit and stepping it up to a 6in long one to connect the holes.The sap line is so much harder and not straight that the bits walk like crazy sometimes.
Numbskull how is the birch comparative to the pine as far as boyancy. The maple seems a bit too dence. The birch might be an alternative.
Raven do you think lathe or drill press would be better plus any idea on the affect the change in density from the sapline can be dealt with?
Also bigfish I do have some ayc on hand and a load of basswood too.
Rockfish9 how would the increase in drill speed affect the bradpoint bits and the parabolick you mentioned what does it have for a tip 17 degree or more?
Gottafish did you use a drill press or lathe to do your drilling?
Charleston I'm using the power end of the lathe for the bit and lining the wood up with the stebcenter on the other end.I'm interested in the lubrication idea in the hard sap line. It might really help to some extent.
Well thanks much to all of you. I've got some ideas to head out in the shop and try.If I have any sucess I'll let you know tonight.The alternative wood will have to wait till I get some to try. The boyancy along with the paint job seem to make a big difference on how the plug works. The ideas came together combining an r smith idea with a salty idea and an old block island needle and my paint job.It works some sweet to the point I don't want to loose what I've come up with by too much change at once.Thanks again all. Tight line
