Welcome to S-B a great New Sponsor!

Labrador1 a/k/a RM Smith Plugs is the newest sponsor here on Striped-Bass.com. Many of you know him and know his plugs and that they have a few things going for them: They Swim, They Catch, They look good, and they tend to get "lifted" from your plug bag by sand sissys on the Cape (OK, so BM stole one out of my bag last fall)... I caught on a few of these last fall - very nice plugs (and did I mention available at some S-B sponsors too ?)

Anyway, most of you know the great stuff Ryan builds, seems to be tradition in his family to go a little beyond the norm with craftsmanship. So please welcome RM Smith Plugs as a Sponsor here at S-B...

Labrador1 - please post some pics

Thanks!

John

Hmm....I think I have some Ryan pixs laying around here some place, now where were they?
Oh...yes Smith, Ryan.....plug builder...here..

Some of Ryan's Big Eye Swimmers: Pogie, Herring, etc

Big Eye Swimmer, Yellow Scale 2oz - hugely popular!

Check out the detail around the eye....

"Nightshade" pattern - I had some, for about a day, earlier this week....
Ryan is the real deal, an uncompromising craftsman - even in the face of huge demand, he does not cut corners.

Awesome!
