I really enjoyed making the flaptails. I didn't know Steve half as well as some of you did, but I couldn't help think of him and his family while I was working on them.

Like angler220 (very nice to meet and chat wtih you) I also took a shot at a Bernie Myers plug. I have always liked the body style and figuered it was a good time to give it a try. I was actually able to get a couple to use as a reference from a nice guy down the road in Shrewsbury. What's interesting is that from what I read and pictures I saw there seemed to be two body styles he made. Of course the guy in Shrewsbury had both! If you look at angler220's plug its dead on to the bottom plug...Mine the top.

First pic is of the two bodies I had. Second is of my attempt.
