Firstborn, Worstborn Plug Porn!

Slipknot and I were laughing at PlugFest about some of the first plugs we ever made! Its funny to look back on your first after you been doing it a few years......the thought "What was I thinking" comes to mind! Here are a few of my "firsts".....first one is the first piece of wood I ever chucked in a lathe....I was real pleased with it....not bad for a first!

The next pic has a picture of one of my worsts......at the bottom is a popper I made I think it was in my first batch of plugs......kind of UGLY! The needle at the top was a Habs knockoff from my second batch....it was the first plug I made that I caught fish on.....that night 4 of us were hammering bass all night up to 25 pounds....that needle took 17 fish to between 15-25 pounds before that split ring straightened out as I was grabbing the needle to beach the bass! That was a good night!

Another cool looking one I never finished....a jointed bucket mouth popper.......I might try to finish a couple of those...the mouth is huge and should make quite a bit of noise!
