drum roll please...

Finally finished my first. Thanks a ton to all that post info on this board. Without it, I would'nt have even tried to attempt this.

These Needles were my very first attempt. Pretty happy with the way they turned out. They are not finished however, as I have a bit of a problem. (I'll post that question later).

Your only problem is that you don't have my address to send that black/gold needle to me right away.

Nice.

As these were drying I was inspired by BigFish's jointed poppers. So I gave it a go. Again, really pleased with the outcome. They weigh in around 1.75oz and are around 5.5". They sure cause a commotion in the water. We'll see if the fish like them. I'll tell you, I'm really addicted. Looking forward to starting the next batch.

Very Nice needles, the blurple is perfect, in all ways, nice black gold color as well, do the eye placement like what you have on the blurple
Nice hinged plugs, as well.
