Chris's first Plugs

Chris does not have a digital so I took a few pic of some of his first plugs. Sorry Chris but the first picture had an error and had to delete it

"Beautiful work, I love the color schemes, very realistic."
Thanks Bernzy, I took the Herring pic WeeeWeeee posted and cropped to a couple solitary fish for colors. If you guys look at it in that pic there are some fish that are not herring nor bass or bloo check it out. Any guesses?

Cape, likewise
I figured it was you however you didnt seem as grumpy as I was led to believe
I saw the rod you made for the winner of one of the contests/raffles around here, very, very nice. Think it was a 1088

Hech,
Think/plan backwards. What color do you want the line to show as. That will be the base coat. Put veil material (walmart $1 or $2's a yard) around the plug use clothes pins to hold it on. About 6 to make it neat. Spray overcoat(s) let set a bit & carefully remove material Thanks to Specialist for the tips.
