Sorry. I wish that was my rig.
a mini CNC would be cool!!!

too much work and no fishing makes Mike a loose cannon

Always! I've got another batch in the works. This is so addicting, I come in every night covered in sawdust and smelling like cedar. There will be pictures when done.

I'm sick of using screw eyes. I'm waiting on a chuck to show up in the mail so I can through drill this batch.

Still looking for a local source for wire. Any ideas?

Also, brad point drill bits . . . know where I can find some?

Capesams....thanks for the treat I am a huge fan! Those are some sweet plugs! I could look at your work for hours, that was quite a fix!

Question.....those Surf Howdys look to be about 8 inches long? Is that long for a Surf Howdy? Also, how are those weighted?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
