Living in a condo I unfortunately have no room for the equipment necessary to turn plugs but I’ll be doing some kits again this year. I tried some of the Salty’s kits last year and did pretty well with the 2oz darters so I’ll probably make a few more of those and plan give the 3oz darters a shot as well. Also want to try a couple danny’s and pikies.

Will also be making an assortment of bucktails, jig heads and tied tail hooks and flags. All good stuff to keep busy during the winter.

come to plugfest... I always have bodies that need to be finished... I normally turn a bunch of bodies and finish a few and leave the rest in a pile, bucket or somewhere else in the shop to be finished"someday"...I be happy to give you a few..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Thanks for the offer. I've been thinking of coming up for plugfest for a few years but it never seems to fall on a good weekend for me. Hopefully this will be the year!

Maybe we can ride up. Last year I managed to make my first one with a friend and it was worth it. So if I can get there earlier I will make another.
