A Fishweewee

I just came back from the river after testing that darter I showed you
I can now say that I WILL be making a template of this one before it gets lost Who needs maple when AYC works well?

I tested a bunch of other plugs at my area 54 and was very pleased with the outcome. My 6" pikies are gonna be a smash hit. you should see them wiggle/waggle My dannys swim excellant too.

And that big jointed plug I copied from one of AdamR's plugs, I think I should make more.
I also swam both sizes of the Mr. Wiggly and that large size has EAT ME written all over it. Those plugs are going to be responsible for a lot of fish this season.


It's getting closer

Heh heh heh. Kewl.

Slip - you don't know what a heartbreaker of a fish I lost in Nov on your 3 oz darter.

And I was thinking how silly your question to me was when you gave it to me: "Do you think it will catch fish?"

Answer: "YES!"

Lets see
A new member of this board has a bunch of AYC / AWC was looking to give it away.

I don't think he has found a home for it yet.

I do know he is asking a few questions on how to finish plugs. Maybe if you help him out he might be generous

MAPLE for DARTERS works just FINE

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

Passngas (Chris) would like to know how to finish plugs. He has an outlet for a good amount of AC.

Maybe you guys can get together.

Question

Doods,

My buddy Hans works for a roofing company here in SW CT. He had some leftover wood from a carpentry job that he was going to burn in his fireplace.

It is mahogany and is ready for the lathe.

Does mahogany work for plugs?

If so, anyone want a couple of plugs worth?

-WW
