Second high quality video you two have produced. Both hit the subject dead on, just as most on this site want to see it!
What I took away is that I may have to consider doing larger numbers before moving on to the next step.... Seems more economical. The bottleneck would hit me at the epoxy step, as I am limited to numbers there.

It also made me realize that I really need to standardize the dimensions of the stock I begin with. Otherwise I will have to keep adjusting the fence, sled, and jigs according to the dimensions of the stock. Great inspiration to get going.....

Ross I do batches of 100 of each plug style at a time and get all the bodies to primer and ready for paint...that way I have them in a pinch if needed! I just keep them boxed and stored! I am small time so not that much pressure!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

You changed the lip you use or are there two different models shown?

2 different lips George. I started making a pikie lipped "Prey" last season from the same body....re-weighted it accordingly and added the pikie lip! Amazing the depth it can go and the action! I had been wanting to make something that swam deeper so I just thought the body shape was right......it worked! I have had great results with it and getting deeper has certainly increased my hookup ratio for sure.  To clarify I make them both ways still......each with a designed purpose. |

I enjoyed the video very much. Very impressive skills
But something I also took from the video is that Big Fish is not soo big anymore. Not as big as when I met him on Cutty years ago. If I keep eating like I have been I will be Big Wader-Dad and Larry will just be Fish.

Thanks for sharing that Larry. I have built plugs in the past so I know the work that goes into them but sometimes I forget so thanks for the reminder. Great job on the video - very nice. Love my Preys, favorite plug in my bag! |

Very cool. Was the first shaping effort on the lathe by hand of were you following a jig? Looked like by hand.
