thanks guys..

steelhead, thanks.. yeah the grain does show up..i like the way it gives it a more textured look..I pretty sure its pine, hopefully the blues dont get their teeth on it! I weighted it by drilling holes in the bottom and then what I do is get peices of lead (I save all my chopped up storm hooks & lead, this has supplied me with quite a bit of lead this year) chop it into hole sized pieces then smash it (round it up) together with a set of pliers and then jam it all in nice and tight with a small screwdriver. The epoxy over the holes seems to hold the lead in fine on all my plugs.. The front end is slightly hogged out so I get a nice popping sound on top.

Duke41..you %$%$%$%$ pink? do you fart skittles too?
