First Dozen.....
almost done.
All I got to say is this, to anybody I've ever Ho'd a plug from, or been lucky enough to have been given a plug from, I can't thank you enough. Knowing now what goes into the process, as much as I apprecaited my customs before, I cherish them more now.
Still on a learining curve, and some more to do to these yet, but here's the first batch... I've copied a couple of these needle styles from Tony Sr., the fat ones he made produced many nice fish... hope these catch a few, if not they will make good kindling wood.

thanks again
BF, all spray cans, don't own an airbrush
Mr. Sandman, thank you, that one fought me at every turn, but I persevered, the (dare I say) grain of the wood, did not like to get drilled, swivel hole angled out, had to go bigger and used a grommet. Weight holes wanted to walk, and even though I center punched, the eye holes wanted to walk on me, the easiest thing I drilled on that was the thru wire hole!
Like I said, Learning Curve.
