OK...gave this some thought! I got into this plug building thing after coming on this site and seeing all of the beautiful work that all of you do.....I was blown away! I then got a nite going at MSBA the past 3 years each August called "Plug Night"! It was to pay homage to the wooden plug and to the many builders and their great and beautiful work! Because I was so inspired by many of you and was fortunate enough to get to know many of you and many of you helped me a great deal along the way....guys like #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, Capesams, MAC and Slipknot....anytime I had a question one of you was there to help and thanks! I also had read a couple of articles in OTW that ran pretty close together a few years ago......one was about #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& himself and the great work he does and how he got started....the other was about Habs and Tattoo and their great work and how they got started, there was also an article there about BM and Slipknot that was great......all great articles and they really inspired me to give this a try but the thing that put me over the edge was at the first "Plug Night" at MSBA....Bassmaster was the featured speaker and he was great as always.....just a great speaker and a great teacher and I was hanging on every word! That night BM was selling a used Grizzly lathe and a scroll saw for $100.00 and I jumped on them and it was all over for me after that....I was bitten hard by the plug building bug!  Look at me now....building a shop in my new garage dedicated to me making plugs...I got lots invested in great tools, I have learned alot and I am still starving for more!  I continue to see so many great people building so many absolutely beautiful plugs....it just blows my mind! I have met many good folks in here, and made many great friends (I hope) one of them is Afterhours....man he makes some nice plugs too, he really puts his heart and soul into them just like Habs and Tattoo and Salty.....these are some great people to know and we are fortunate enough to have them here in this site.....and I see so many others turning great plugs right out of the chute....this truely is the best plug building forum on the web...just chock full of talent, competitive spirit and a willingness to help each other out! Just a few examples of inspiration for me personally...and I thank you all!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

i'll put a vote for mac too...
not sure where this thread is going?? as others probly are not either?
tough to single out a "select few" from everyone that posts on here. it's like group of friends in here.
you would never put anyones hard work down, on the other hand if you select only a "few" you leave the rest of the regulars wondering ,,,, "what about me?"
like someone said it's the man behind the plug, not the plug.

You got that right mike 
I agree with justplugit also but we don't know where this thread is going so who knows.
I could add to the list that has been mentioned but it would be a long one for sure.
Mac is definately one that is a natural at this plug building for sure. I don't know how he finds the time.
Keep up the good work all of you.
Excellant group of people we have here for sure.  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Hey John,
Now's good time to post a pic of the plug I sent ya...
Guys who have inspired me.I started makin plugs bout ten yrs ago.first redo's after i had saw some epoxy finishes on some made by a local guy Russ Hewing.I would help tony Spina at lex sandin an mostly hangin around pickin his brain.anyone remeber Oznavad.I think he was a member here.Mike Fixter,Chum,Kenny I did it allready 10x10 RIP,Mr.Pogie Kevin. remeber that roman he made...An Tagger.ok maybe I was not inspired by Tagger But u gotta love the guy.I was always in awe of BM's drive the guy was always turnin out new things an so many of em.I tend to like things simple an durable.thats why I was always a fan of MAC's work.Guzz's fishnets are very sexy.AN Gary for his ability to make all them little fish catchers.A long time fan of Bernzy's paints.Capesams his knowledge of wood helped quite a few.an John Habs.proof is in the puddin..hope i didn't leave anyone out...

I have to add one thing over the yrs.no one has inspired me to read these boards more then the wild man Dave Manzi.I would go back an forth with him there where lots of buttons to push to get him goin but his insatiable drive was always truely inspiring to me.along wit the flamein always good fun. I miss my bubba an I hope he finds the will to seek help an get better.we all have our down times an fishing keeps us well during the season. its coping when not fishing that is the hard part.for some its tougher than others.Get well soon Dave, this place ain't the same wit out ya....

I haven't seen everyone's work so I am not going to try and make a detailed list. I have seen plugs from MAC, Slip and BM and they are great. Chum does amazing work and he has helped me the most so I have to mention him. Other NJ guys - Gary, Digger, etc. - are great and I hear NIB makes a nice plug but I still don't have one. 
By the way NIB, I do remember seeing a photo of Oznavad's Predator plug and it really was great! 
Has anyone noticed that NIB's posts have been not only intelligent but sort of caring lately? I think his body must have been taken over by an alien.   |
