Thanks to my new friends from Plugfest

Hi all,
These are fresh out of the oven.... The Mackerel pattern is 18" long I made it for a friend as a gag plug. The paint came out really cool but while rigging the plug I blew a hole out of the top and I'm going to have to make another.
Thanks to everyone that I met at Plugfest, the jigs to cut angles on lures (rockfish and ProfessorM) helped me a lot. To all the others that allowed me to take pictures of thier plugs on the tables, thank you..... It helps to see the actual patterns when your trying to paint.
More to come

Mike

No, I have never worked on an 18" plug before and kinda rushed it, so when I thru wired it I needed to make some adjustments with a carving tool. That's when I blew through the top...

Brings back memories seeing the eye on the bottom of the plug. I made my first ones like that about 15 years ago. Very amateursh/rudimentary work. Mine that is not yours.
