Duplicator Dannys
Dannys hot off the duplicator and tested among the ice flows... The white one is 3 oz, intended for my new Batson 1088, the black one 2 oz intended for my Batson 1087. The red throat on the black one doesn't show up. To quote a hot fisher guy from Yarmouth, they swim "the balls". Sorry for the image quality. Cheap camera! It was free.
How many more weeks untill striper season?

Darned if that isn't my problem as well. Then you have to paint, weight and rig all those damned plugs. next you'll have trouble getting rid of them..

Buy a lip! That doesn't appeal to my scottish heritage. Making lips has proven to be pretty easy. I use a system of printing out the template for a lip, gluing it to the stainless stock, cutting the blank to shape 1/32" oversize with compound tin snips and grinding up to the edge of the printed template. Its amazing how accurate you can be. I have a sheet metal hand break similar to yours Bruce to make the Z.

Assinippi,
If you're willing to put a couple of bodies through the template for me, I will pay for the wood & your efforts...
One of those would be for Bruce!
Are you going to the event on Saturday?... |

Very Nice! Well, I'm in the swap, so I guess I will be lucky enough to get one of Specialists swimmers as well. This swop is looking better all the time.

I just gotta be more patient with the finish. They weigh 2oz. Only a front treble, 3/0, and a nice 5/0 dressed siwash is needed.

Nice looking plugs. My compliments. I'm new to this message board. but I wanted to let you know I enjoy the conversations. You guys seem to do a good job on your lures. I make the Rhode Island Poppers if you ever saw them. I love wood lures. the only way to fish |

Hi Don, thanks for the welcome. I just took this one. It is a sample of a few of the lures I make. I also make a very unique line of lures that has a through body SS wire leader that extends out the head for blue fishing. Please excuse the quality of the picture. I'm not good at the camera thing.  |

Hi Don,
Well I have been making the poppers for myself for quite a few years, but the business has only been around for 3 years now. Started with a few for friends and relatives and then it grew to a business. Has been expanding like crazy and not sure how big we want it to get. Get tackle shops all over asking to carry them and I have resisted mostly. Carrying them in Benny's Chain store, they have a nice fishing dept. It's reeeel easy dealing with production for a bigger customer. I might be going to some more smaller tackle shops depending on how the deals work out. I'm taking them as they approach me. It's still a labor of love at this point. Also carrying/producing a line of Fluke Rigs and live bait rigs on wire for blues.
