You can only put up one pic per post.

I like them but why 2 belly hooks on such a small plug?

2 hooks

These were direct copies of the origional surfster I have thought about the 2 hooks don't care for it. Next year I will be changing to 1 belly and a tail hook. I told you before I'm new to this but learning every day.. Good stuff

Talking new to this

I started back in January of this year. I started to suppliment my income of which I had none now I'm working so it has become a hobby more than anything else. After the new year I will be getting into more lifelike patterns. I learn evrey day and its very fun and fulfilling work I love it and love catching fish on my own stuff.

Thanks I went with proven colors I know catch fish next year I get into more lifelike patterns trying to find as many pics of bait in natural enviornment as I can kinda hard to photograph live bait and not influence or distort the color but i'm working on it.

Boy; I hope I can get half as good at building plugs in twice the time it took you, to reach this level. Nice stuff.
