Joe, I can't thank you enough for the lessons and the use of your shop. Catching fish on custom wood last summer reminded me of the days when I used to fish exclusively with my own striper flies. There is no greater satisfaction than fooling a fish with something you've made with your own two hands. I've been fascinated by fooling fish with homemade baits (mostly striper flies) since I was a kid, but always resisted plug building. That first night, when I felt that first fish belt a painted hunk of wood with a pair of hooks attached to it, I knew I couldn't resist the urge any longer. You sir have now made that possible.


And thanks to all of the other plug builders on this site for posting their successes, failures, opinions, and pictures. You guys build some beautiful stuff (most is downright artwork) and share an infinite amount of knowledge.


Thanks for inspiring me to finally give it a shot
Brian (confirmed "Plug Addict")
