You're a veritable plug machine, Roc. The rest of us have got to get going to catch up. Cool stuff.

I've been busy for sure, lot's of stuff still "curing" I'll be painting all this week.. I've got three sizes of needles, three sizes of pikies and surfsters, 40's and eel skin Jr. as well as some "tricked up" Copies of Capt'n Bills swimmers all to be finished...

I've been looking forward to this event since October....

Every once in awhile I get the urge to do something "pretty"...

the Jointed in the picture probably will end up on my wall as a decoration, after the "fest,and never get fished, then again I just might use it if we have a rainy spring and the river is muddy, I got the Idea from Creek chubs original Goldfish color..

also pictured are a few small bottles and a Copy of a Capt'n Bills swimmer done in "Whiting"... back in the days when whiting were common in the fall, I did well with a plug rigged like this...thanks to Ray Pike wherever he is these days for showing me this embellishment....

Nice Joe. You are a machine. I have been epoxying every other day for 2 weeks now, one more to go. Plenty of stuff to trade, I think.
