Bill what is that thing pointing down from the belly of that plug on the right?
I think I caught a glimpse of it at some point.

Wine bottle stop with a plug as the handle. Pretty freakin cool. Also had an Oldman tail swinging from it.

I got quite a haul, unfortunatly, I cannot find my cable to down load from my camera.... One especialy special treasure was given to me in a bag with several other treasures by my long time on line friend Old goat.... It's a Creek chub surf darter, a pretty rare plug.. it was only produced for 4 years... I'm going to have fun reproducing that one...

I've got a pile of pencils, and some sweet swimmers, but most of all some real fond memories of this plugfest and all the fine folks I chatted with...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

LOL. I bought one (a beater) at plugfest from Reebok for the same purpose. Cool plug, very different set up than the Gibbs style darters.

No more pics, please!!! It's the day after I miss one of these that are most painful, as I have no loot from swaps.....

That's and early one.... the ones produced in '56 had a center line tie,the next year, they went to a double line tie, the last two years they had only the top line tie... very cool stuff..

I got a ton of nice wood. I will have to post a picture. I tried to make sure I remembered the makers of each and every plug I got.

Tagger's flaptail was a true piece of art. As good as I did on one of his conrads last year I think this will just be one of those plugs I pick up from time to time to enjoy the fine craftsmanship.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.
