Busy BigFish Plug Porn!
I been busy working on a few ideas I have been batting around for awhile and these are some pics of the finished product! The biggest idea I had was I wanted to add gill covers to some of my plugs mostly for aesthetic reasons. I like the results! It also gives the head more definition and gives me a convenient break point for some of my paint schemes!  Love to hear your thoughts! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Also been working on a few new jointed versions of the "Prey" swimmer and my 3 oz. Danny! Have not had these in the water yet as they are prototypes but they will swim soon! I think the design will provide a tight wiggle with th water flowing into the joint! I like the result though!  Fun to try to carry the paint over from front to back...gives a great result! |

I have never been able to get the results I have been looking for in a mackeral pattern....I tried some free hand before but was unhappy with the results and could not find a pattern template I was happy with so I tried a new way to freehand and I was quite pleased with this result! These are blue macks Raven.....no green in them. Maybe your eyes see something I don't? I have seen green tinkers before....but no green in the adult Jacks??

Larry those look great!
I was messing with jointed stuff this weekend trying to tighten the joints. I ended up countersinking the whole nose grommet on the back piece a little bit, so the whole nose grommet is countersunk maybe a little over 1/8-3/16. Once you do the tail wrap on the back piece all that sticks out of the nose loop is the very end of the loop. Where yours is cut in such a sharp 'V' you'd need to make the tail loop on the head piece sit horizontal then the countersunk nose loop on the back piece could be vertical ... |

Larry those are fantastic. I too tried freehand mackeral lines. Seemed to be OK . I think if I had a good airbrush for detail they would of came out better. what gun have you been using? I've been toying with a recessed joint for a tihgter fit and also making a 2 -piece jointed to take apart to fit in plug bag then join when fishing. Thinking of a Breakaway clip. Trying to find an easier way to carry 10" jointeds. On the positive side of a joint farther apart is that the plug would fold over an fit in the tube on one half and lay across the top of the tubes. You know it's winter . Too much time to think.

I had to wipe a pool of drool off of Bigfish's display case after I was done looking at them at plugfest.

Thanks for taking me fishing Grandpa!

Your plug display was simply amazing Larry, I found myself standing in front of it prbably atleast a dozen times(the rest of the time I could not get close enough to see it). I will admit that I was a little uncomfortable standing in a room full of guys having those kind of thoughts.
Thanks you very much for the canal special, I hope the mackerel are around this spring like they were last year because i am wanting to see this thing get smashed.
...if you need a guinee pig to help test those jointed poppers I'm there for you, just so you know.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Those are incredible Larry, the joints look about as tight as you can get them. How the heck do you get the wrap in there so tight?
