Well I am actually going to post a picture of a plug  . After all the info I put up I figured I would post a picture of a finished product before they fly the coop. |

I swam an eelskin one a few times last summer in the canal at nite on my way home from work. Very nice action for the skin. I will be doing the same this year. The others will have to be swum by the next foster parent and I will get a report.

lips are key to the plug I think. I make em. Do a search and you will find all the dim. If you can't tell me and I will post it again. I am a paint sprayer , not an artist. I use a stencil, which took longer to make than the plug. That is where having a dup. is important as the stencil fits tight so all future plugs must be withing .010 or it will not fit. I got a small heavy pencil stencil I just finished and am looking forward to giving it a go. I will post when i am done. Thanks

Nice work on those. What's the reasoning behind painting the lip on the black eelskin one? |

The lips are heated in an oven, 1500, let cool. They stay blue , black. Never had luck with paint sticking to stainless. Figured that would be good for nite time plugs.  Basicly me experimenting. |

Honey do list cancelled.....
so I brought them out for a swim today. Should have gone where I could access deeper water to give them a true test but time was short. They all swam great but I thought the swimming action was the most perfect with 3 trebles which makes sense since I believe that is how the beachmasters and pichney's were rigged. I used cut 3/o's with a 3/o treble on the back attached with a size 5 wolverine ring. I'm sure some will disagree but that's my .02 on what was best. I also really liked the tightened sexy wiggle the blurple one had with the heavily dressed bucktail treble. I think I'm going to leave it on that swimmer for a little variation.
Thanks again Paul.

I'll hit you in the knee with my shillelagh you lanky ()^%$$^$.
I won't be fishin those in the clear water.
I think where those Jr's shine is with an eelskin on them. The canal is perfect for those with or without skins. |

I'm betting on that too ..I made some copys double belly hook and some modified(skin plug) with the single belly hook .. Hoping skin tail makes up the differance , This is my first year with the Jr. .. The Sr. swam the nuts .. Nice work Paul . How'd you do hook layout .. 2 or 1 belly ? |

Nice selection Paul.... what wood? (if you said what kind I missed it)
I made mine from birch, IMHO they swim better than maple ones I have made in the past.. I also agree that three trebles give the best action on these...
