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.
