Talking 2 Hand carves & a rebuild

Starting in the LEFT CORNER to be fished in parts unknown, we have a Iamskippy hand carved Redfin clean side replica (no chx scratch gills). This swimmer weights in at a blistering 1.8oz's!!!!!!!!!!!! And casts like a Woonsocket rocket. This plug will dive 3' - 5' and come right back to the top with a wiggle!!!!! To top this plug off its loaded with rattles!!!!!!!! This plug was designed and built for Chefchris, thanks for all your help in the off season bro

In the middle we have a plug i picked up at plug fest, that was in need of some love. The reason i grabbed it was it has a slide weight design inside, was the first of its kind i have ever seen. If you read this post and know who may have made this plug originally please let me know or PM me if you were the original maker. Super Big thanks to Slip for the EYES Slam Dunk Bro! and thanks to Chef for answering my GOOGAN questions and some guidance with the slide weight technology and principles. This plug will be finished off with a custom Iamskippy split ring tail flag!

And finally Starting in the RIGHT CORNER to be fished in parts unknown, we have a Iamskippy hand carved multi-layered Cadillac pearl SP ghost minnow replica. This swimmer weights in at a blistering 1.9oz's!!!!!!!!!!!! (.1 oz more, this is do to the 4/0 hardware setup then the one above) This swimmer casts like a Woonsocket rocket. This plug will dive 3' - 5' and come right back to the top with a wiggle!!!!! ( already seen the water for a test swim in a ripping 3-4 knot current) This plug digs like a pig, and shakes like a stipper trying to make her "collage tuition" money ( yeah right you mean rent money). To top this plug off its loaded with rattles!!!!!!! so not only does it flash and wiggle it make its presence known loud and proud you can feel it in the rod! This plug was designed and built for ME but not off the table for trade

I will include more photos later on as well as the video for creating the split ring tail flag , there was an over whelming response as to how i created these now, so i will make the video and post it. I will also post some pics from the rebuild. I was just very happy and proud of my latest work i had to share.

Skip

I can't wait to use my new airbrush gun and hope to pick up a plug spinner soon, so these were truly done by hand.
