I have one more for you. A friend of mine who fished chatham alot in the 70's and 80's used to build needlefish out of bic pens by removing the ink insert and wiring it through. He would then customize the "plug" with a permanent magic marker, a feather tail, and a small treble on the belly. The things were remarkably durable, and you could make a bunch of them for little$$$. The reasoning behind these plugs was a narrow silouette was needed to emulate the "matchstick" sandeels that were frequently present around pleasant bay. Maybe somebody here will get bored this winter......
