Not quitting this summer

I plan to make some plugs though-out the season, I didn't make a ton of classic proven designs like many of you guys did this winter, Most of my stuff is pretty odd and I want to continue to tweak with my weird ones as needed through out the season.

I find myself getting over specialized...make a plug for a specific spot under specific conditions at a certain time of year.

Just finished this squid this morning. The blotchy look was done on purpose . The night photo is crappy...it glows a violet/blue color at night. But you get the idea.

Beautiful, Jim! I would love to rig one of those bodies for the NW Corner!

Not that you need any more plugs....but I have one of these (in white/pink that glows pink at night) for you to try out but I am trying to finish up one of my other ones to ago along with it before I sent it to you.

Sweet Jim. I know of a couple spots on the island that will be some nice to throw that into. I'm workin on some fat pigs to see how well I can make them waddle and cast to see if my outline will maybe get moby to come up out of the rocks. Still stinging from a couple of those that broke me off on the rockpile last fall. One I test these out I'll send you one or two to try. Ron

Ron, Glad you survived another winter.
When you visit this season, stop by and we'll pour a few for you. By then Revisions B and C should be complete.

They work!!! They could not leave it alone last night. These also seem to cull out the small fish as small fish also could not get there mouth around it. They bump the heck out of it. Bigger ones seem to grab it and get the business end of the plug.
