January plug of the month

OK everyone, an idea originally posted by Numbskull in August of 2007 has laid dormant far too long.

Time to kick this into gear

what plug will we all make in January?

I will post a poll, vote on it, most votes gets the nod.

I guess at the end of the month, everyone post pictures of our plugs and we will do another poll so all can vote for the best one and you'll get some silly prize

I voted pencil popper this AM. After thinking about it all day, pencils might be my second choice. I've been wanting to build some skin needles for the last 2 years and never got arouond to it. It's always "oh yeah, damn.."

I voted for a metal lip swimmer. Got about a dozen already waiting for epoxy.

SO what, I am a little lazy.

But I could knock out a needle easy enough.

Great idea but you left out handcarved lures.
