Ok here are some pictures of some of the plugs I have finished up. I spent most of the winter working on my 8" needles and recently started doing the metal lips which are based on the Musso design.

I've also been spending some time working on a 9" jointed swimmer but I haven't come up with a version that I liked enough yet to finish. First ones I tested sunk which wasn't what I was going for...

The large yellow needles is something new I'm testing out, wanted a little bigger profile and it's 10" and about 4.3oz.

I also in the process of making some smaller 6.5" needles, test swam some different versions over the weekend and liked the results on one so I hope to have a few of them finished up to start fishing in a couple weeks.
