upwards of 8"......word of warning to those who use ayc an u don't seal it,,,the heart wood /sap wood/ pitch will bleed through the primer an paint an bubble the clear coat. that's if u own the plug long enough..

CS, thats the shape I like to make too. I find I like large needles and heavy because I cant always feel them when working it in the water. Those are real nice 
The sanded eye thing is cool too |

Cape are the bottom three ayc, looks just like pine? Are you still using Kilz for sealer? water base or oil? Been using oil base and it takes a long time to dry.

top one is birch,,bottom r ayc.....I've changed over to oil, I'm finding laytex anything just lifts off in no time,,,oil is slow drying , but I think it'll last a bit longer......anything that drys fast doesn't get a chance to soak in an grab. think way back when ,,when they had nothing around but oil,,an how the old plugs got beet an the paint for the most part is still stuck on,,they also had lead in the paint that made it last an last....that's my thought's anyway .

Cape i agree with you on the oil based paints, thats all i use it holds up well. an old timer up on the cape makes a similar shaped needle, it casts amile and catchs. i think his name is George Calizone. from what i hear he is in his late 80's. also makes a nice small pencil.

if any of us are still turning plugs in our late 80's, i think a little free advisetizing would be gladly accepted. i don't know who he is, was given a few of his plugs . and they worked quite well.would surely like to meet him though

Where are you weighting these? I have been drilling, gluing in slugs and filling with wood filler to keep the weight balanced front to back, and to keep a lower center of gravity to keep the plug hook down when I retreive. I prefer to drill from the butt but find that doesn't work for me for needles the way it does for pencil poppers. Nice shape! I always liked the Super Strike needles.
