Cool looking plugs! Hand carved? How do they swim?

thanks fellas, eel is carved and then w/ some of the features added w/ 2 part PC wood and swims like a needlefish, squid features were added w/ PC and swims like a spook, sits just a little high in the water I think, I'm going to drill it's eyes out and add a little weight there w/lead shot to change the angle in the water slightly and help it along in the cast....it's looks great in the water and bumping through the suds, had a fish drill it when I was test casting it..

Thumbs up

That squid is incredible.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
