Went down the cellar this morn., surpose to be raking leaves but wife took daughter to piano lessons , and whipped out a few. Used some beautiful old pine I have as that is what it seems they used. Second picture is the next project. Gibbs, thanks Peter. I already made a larger version of the gibbs trolling plug and now I will try this thinner one. I am kind of on a kick this year to make some larger trolling plugs. Seems to me that at least 90% or more of the plugs I see being produced by builders these days are for the casting crowd. Since I mostly boat fish and like to troll I am going to produce some plugs that I can drag behind the boat next year. I will make a conscious efffort to use these plugs and see what happens. Just don't seem to see these plugs any more, everything is plastics. I do not know anyone who fishes these large swimmers behind their boat anymore, I am sure people do but I don't know anyone. They caught many large fish in years gone by don't know why they wouldn't work nowadays. If anyone knows of any other larger trolling plugs to try I am interested. Paul
