needle or squid?
I started this out as a fat 8" needle. By the time I finished, it feels more like a squid? Now I have no idea how to paint it.... It's maple. Maybe leave it natural as an amber plug with some
pearl-x glitter in the finish coat? It will have bright red eyes!

That was the thinking when I did the little ridge. Then it sort of took on a life of its own... Looks like an old idea revisted.
CS, you got any of those Norris Needles? Probably if I look back thru this thread, I'll find one.

No wonder... Now I remember the squid. Did a few more last night before calling it a day. Fun to shape these guys. Now on to belly weights and hook placement...

CS,
Norris did make a needle (or needlefish "type" plug). I have an image of one but it is not mine so I can't post it on a public forum. Very rare - circa late 1950s.
I have some very novel ideas about new needlefish design that I've shown to some of the well know plug companies. They just don't have the time to experiment with newer plug design. I don't have the time or expertise to turn my own. Anyone willing to try and turn my ideas into finished products? If so pm me and I'll describe it.
