New stuff
One of these was destined for plugfest but a couple of small flaws make them stay in my bag. I'll have to submit something else. The jointed pike is 8 1/2" plug the lip and weighs 4 1/4 ozs. It has a nice wiggle . The bomber has epoxy molded fins, gill plates and lip.

Hi Andy, got your "plug" wieghted now. Will have it finished for the plugfest, You going?

The bomber was roughed out on the bandsaw then sanded to shape. The epoxy fins,lip and gill plates were applied with a cut down paintbrush. (I used the Aquamarine epoxy it is very thick) Lot of hand sanding on this plug.
