One of mine is going to be a lipped, jointed eel type swimmer. A friend of mine loaned me a very old one that he has to copy. The other type is still undecided. I'm going to start turning after the holiday.

On second thought I'm going to be making spooks and sliders. I haven't been able to get my swimmers to swim the way I want just yet. PB

Here are my two prototypes for the swap. The first one just got a quick paint job for its test swim. I hope to test the bottle tomorrow. Still trying to decide the final colors and paint job for both.
Split eel is around 3 oz and 11 in long, the bottle will also be around 3 oz with chin and tail weight (I think) just shy of 7". All with treble hooks.

Bottles get weight in the arse and midway between the tail and belly swivel. Slug in the chin may make it dig some more. If you want to experiment this is the place to do it. One of my sets is an new type of plug for me.

It has a 5/16th weight in its keister, and I figured I'd try the weight on the chin just to keep it chin turned down. It's minimal weight smallest of all the weights I have so hopefully it won't dig too much. Tried it in the sink last night and it flips over the right way. Have it in the truck to try on a local pond on the way home. Being new at this I should probably of stuck with simpler plugs but I 've never been the one to take the easier way out.

Plugs are looking good. I think we are going to see some nice stuff come out of this swap! I spent a little time making dust over the weekend.

First set is about to be painted and the second set is just about dry from the sealer. I'm going to be down to the wire on this one.

ff61...that color is nice! Looks good. Can't wait to see it up close.
My first 6 are being primed and my second six just got dipped. I'll make it but like Striperknight said...I'll be down to the wire.
Guys...this is suppose to be fun. If anyone starts to feel they may need a little more time, just say so.

I've got them all turned, all holes drilled, sealed and now I'm waiting....
I wonder if I can speed up the drying process by throwing them in the microwave?
I decided on making dannies (small ones) and "trying" surfsters.

Motorfish is alive! I was wondering how you were making out. I just sealed my last batch a night ago as well. Not sure about the microwave thing. I have mine in the heated house, hoping they will be dry midweek. Then no sleep for a few days...
I ended up making small "howdys" as well as a small "danny". Both come in at around 1.5oz. I've been wanting to turn some stuff for early spring. It took me awhile to get the danny swimming right. Partially because I couldn't find any unfrozen water.
I have to leave on a business trip Jan 31st and return the 3rd. My thought were to get the packages out on Sat 4th if I had all the plugs. You guys think you can have the plugs to me by Sat? If thats pushing anyone, we can bump it a little. I was just hoping to have the packages out before the 11th. That way you'll see your plugs at your house and not at the plugfest.

I am alive!!
Was having some minor computer problems with the new PC. But I'm back. No worries.
Wired up a surfster tonight and did the tub test. Swam nicely with the Surfster 2 lip, but I'm wondering if the action would be better with a smaller lip (which I don't have). Soooo . . . I ordered some surfster 1.5 lips from NJT tonight. Hopefully, they'll get here soon. Won't hold me up too much because I can get the dannies done while I wait.
