Well I am actually going to post a picture of a plug  . After all the info I put up I figured I would post a picture of a finished product before they fly the coop. |

I swam an eelskin one a few times last summer in the canal at nite on my way home from work. Very nice action for the skin. I will be doing the same this year. The others will have to be swum by the next foster parent and I will get a report.

lips are key to the plug I think. I make em. Do a search and you will find all the dim. If you can't tell me and I will post it again. I am a paint sprayer , not an artist. I use a stencil, which took longer to make than the plug. That is where having a dup. is important as the stencil fits tight so all future plugs must be withing .010 or it will not fit. I got a small heavy pencil stencil I just finished and am looking forward to giving it a go. I will post when i am done. Thanks

Nice work on those. What's the reasoning behind painting the lip on the black eelskin one? |

The lips are heated in an oven, 1500, let cool. They stay blue , black. Never had luck with paint sticking to stainless. Figured that would be good for nite time plugs.  Basicly me experimenting. |
