New sort of

Well I am bored today so I thought I would put up a few pics of some plugs I finished up recently. Been done for a while but since not too much to look at here lately I went for it. The small ones are a close copy of one of my favorite's I got from Bernzy.

Here is my super sized gibbs trolling plug. I tried it out last weekend and it seems to swim good. I made the lip and I made the hangers out of titanium Also my 5 year old quality control specialist, snow white herself. They don't pull and punches and tell it like it is. I only made 2 so I am now starting a bunch more, some with sloped heads, for next spring. Should be done by then. P.

I'll carry this too far. Down in the cellar I found some other stuff and pretty slow around here so here goes. Needles. BM influenced big ones the thinner ones I just liked the look of.

thanks for posting those
don't be feeding those to seals

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Paul thanks for posting - nice pluggage. By the way that must be the daughter holding the mac. You cannot deny paternity there.
