Happy With Sealing Method!

Fished Cuttyhunk with Afterhours Thursday/Friday. While we were there fishing, Don hooked a lobster pot line in the water and pulled it up! Attached to the line was one of my Big Mouth Poppers that I lost when we were there 5 or 6 weeks ago! So after all that time in the water I was quite pleased to note a few things.....naturally the plug was going to be pretty worn....almost all the paint was gone, the nose of the plug was pretty beat, only one eye was missing and the belly grommet was still intact. Most impressive was the fact that there was no swelling of the wood and no cracking at all......boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits is great sealer!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
