For instance ,, I do not like to go any smaller than 3/0 hooks ,.. unless its a ,just for fun schooly plug .. The fish I'm targetting . demand 3/0 and I'd feel better with 5/0 hooks.. are you a top water junky ? or just targetting large and a slow sinking needle will do the trick and could care less about the visaul .. I fish my plugs and just about everybody eleses . ,. making a plug that catches fish ain't that hard .. One that consistantly fools large again and again is quite an achievement . Those are the plugs that will be sought after years from now.. There's some really great plugs being built in here .. Build something ,, Lets see your stuff ..
alright now im gettin some where!

so basically start of with the hardware you expect to use, with a basic design. then if not satisfied sand/cut/tweak as necessary. got it!

now you guys hold tight.. i still got a month or so of fishing to do before i start building. you really think i am gonna give up on fall run to sit inside and coordinate with my building buddies?!?! you must be insane!! next season you will see what we dream up.
