well look at it this way, after you make 600 lures, they will only cost you a dollar...

So hurry up otherwise it will be real expensive if a bluefish steals it.
This sounds like my wife explaining why she had to buy something on sale, or me if it's important stuff for fishing.

that reason... it being ON SALE ...i have one now .

Nice looking $600 lure
ya done good

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.

Talking

Thanks for all the positive feedback from everyone , I owe everything I know about making plugs from this forum .
Just for the record , the top half of the plug is redwood which came from an old redwood fence and the botton was a piece of scap maple . I glued the pieces together with titebond 3 waterproof glue . Before gluing the halfs together I ran a vee router tip groove down the center of each piece creating a perfect center wire channel . I finished with e-tex .
Any questions about the glue holding up , .......... I've had a plug glued up and submerged in water for about a month now and it's still holding strong.
Thanks again
Dan
