Plug Re-Construction

I realy like POPPERS I only have 1. it's a GIBBS. I have a few plugs I built this past winter, an I decided to CONVERT 1. here it is the BIG GREEN WOOD. I took it an SANDED it down, I picked up a small 3/4" drum sanding attachment for drills an put a CUP in the mouth. seem ok so far, also re-located some weight. fill in all the holes an sealed it.
this is it so far. will post new pic's when I decide what colors.
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

Salty - looks great nice paint. You turned it into a bottle, only problem you might have is that it will not swim well. The cup should be curved or tapered on both sides for it to swim well. Do a search on bottle plugs on this site and you will see what I am talking about.
Keep up the good plug makin.

It's not a mistake. It's simply another step in your journey into plug building. Good luck with it.
