My first's

Well I finally completed a few wooden lures. Big sigh of relief when the epoxy hardened. Be gentle. P.

Some Bernzy inspired plugs. I always loved that peanut lure he sent me last year. I just had to make a few for myself.

I am down to my last Hawghunter so I had to copy it seeing I will not get anymore. My favorite all time canal topwater lure.

Yeah, Pissa it is, wicked nice plugs, Paul!!

Those are awesome. I can't quit looking at those Bernzy's. Really nicely done. Love your comment about the epoxy. On my first batch, I kept coming home after work to check to see if they hardened. After the 3rd day of still being sticky, I realized they aint hardenin.

Thank you. Being able to research this craft on the site really allows you to shorten the learning curve. I am sure the guys that have been doing this a long time were not as lucky and had to experiment much longer to get the results they were looking for. The site and advise from several has allowed me to avoid a lot of the pitfalls. I can't thank several of you enough, Mac, Justplugit, Capesams, Afterhours, Karl F, Slip, I am sure I am forgetting a few, sorry if that is the case. Thanks guys for helping an excessive compulsive perfectionist have some fun. Now I have to immediately go and figure out how to improve them. Paul
