My Latest

Here's a couple of darters I just completed for a swap with some of the LI guys.

Top: Blurple darter, 6.0 inches, 3.3 ounces
Bottom: Weakfish darter, 5.5 inches, 2.6 ounces.

I've had very little time to build this year but have learned a lot from the ones I did make. Just wanted to say I still read the boards often and hope everyone here has a great Holiday Season!

You are the darter master John. I wish I was near you in the swap because those won't last a second. Maybe someone will hear me and pass them up...yeah right...lol

FF,

I got no flag plugs. I think we need to talk some more in the spring once my workshop thaws out if you know what I mean.


MM,

I'm after Habs on the first pass. Guess what I'll be taking out of the box???
