A new plug

This plug I have been working on for about one year.I gave this to a few guys and had some very good results with it.I caught a lot of bass on mine but did not get any over 15 lbs.A friend had a super day last late spring with bass in the thirties and one at 42 lbs.
It can handle current very good and can be made to dig deep with slight modifications with the lip.The smokey joe is a deep digger and will be used in certain spot that is deep and swift,the bass will let us know what it looks like.
The pink is staying with me and I plan on targeting the big weakfish with it,that will be here soon

I notice a few builders lately are coming up with plugs with different shapes around the tail area. Very Nice Gary, glad to hear they catch fish.

You are a master Gary

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Gary's Intiser Catches

Early July this past year, a day that is going to live in my mind a long time.. I threw Garys plug (the one he posted about) in its prototype days to the mouth of the Manasqaun. It was foggy, outgoing tide with a severe south wind at 35 mph. I needed something to dig in and his plug did. Those bass did everything but jump in the boat to take that thing away from me. I retied after every fish, just to help not to loose it.. I pulled bass after bass on that plug.. probably had thirteen bass over 30 lbs on that plug! One at 42 lbs. THEY ROCK>
And that smokey joe, pssf It doesn't catch, should just send it to me..

If you need my address again Gary, I'd be glad to PM it to ya again
I kinda feel like the depreived stepchild I know you still have the intention to get me a plug for that trade we did, but it's been a year. I know I missed you at the plugfest last fall, but I'd gladly wait for one of these plugs if you are making more, actually if you still have chums' needle, I'd gladly take 2 of those thanks whatever you can do.

Thats awesome Gary, we do need to wet some plugs. I'll be fishing in North Carolina next week and I'll send some bass north so we can get em. Everytime I see your little guys I think of that day. Below I have a couple of pics from that day. Notice your Intiser hanging, I had to stick it back into the fish, it was so nasty while fishing I couldn't get a desent picture. But as we reached the dock the sun came out and the wind stopped, A rainbow showed off to make this day more memorable. Talk to you soon Bill
