Some new stuff for Plugfest
here are 3 new plugs I have not made before..
Red head clone of Pitchney 8" Troller... "ratio math" on dims from Bassdozer images (Red cedar)
White/Silver scaled 7.5" Conrad in Birch... This bad boy will swim DEEP
Parrot Deep Diver Slopehead that is similar to Tatoos Deep Swimmer
made with AYC
The Troller has the repro "old school eyes" I bought from Saltys
I am looking foward to getting some of the decals that Mike from M&D's is bringing to PlugFest this year.

BT, I also did some Pichney senior slopeheads out of birch. 7.25". modified A-40 lip. Bent on a 90degree w/eye bent up this sucker dives out of site. My proto dove to the bottom snag something and I broke it off. glad I wrote down the specs!LOL. I did a few with white pine. Looking at 14-18grams in belly. One belly weight in the birch 8 grams. The birch weight with the 8 dives DEEP. I tried more weight but I didn't want a sinker. swam nice. Maybe a troller for boat fishing.

nice looking stuff Chris.. most of my stuff is done by "ratio math".. it's not a bad way yo go!..... i feel my way along and do trial and error...I build for funtionality.. so being exact doesnt matter to me.. as long as it works..and fills the niche.
I use birch on my Conrads and slope heads.. you right.. they swim deep.. you have to watch the weighting or you get sinkers after you epoxy.. dont ask me how I know this  |
A good run is better than a bad stand!
