Look good. I am curious on what kind of action you get with that line tie down there. I have found the ones I have swam made like that to be more of a swimmer than a darter.

Gave it a swim today in some current, for winging it on this one I was somewhat happy. It did not roll over, dug in good and swims about 2-3 ft. some darting action but also a little too much wiggle. I did not weight it before test but I think it needs weight aft of the balance point. Added 1/2 oz. and will try again tomorrow. That's 5.5 oz. with the weight added.

I agree the whole shop smells like Christmas. This came from a tree I took down at my in laws down the cape. 40th anniversary coming up I am making them a bunch of stuff out of the logs. Got the final piece on the face plate now going to leave them on the counter at the cape house.

Bummed not getting to do any plugs this winter. Bought a house and it's keeping me far to busy. Hopefully for next winter I'll have my new shop all set up and get to it again. Some, seriously nice work being done on here.

Thanks. No, they are handcarved like most everything else I do, even the needles. I do not own a lathe. The only turned plugs I have been working on are the swimmers that Glen (GooGoo Man) has turned for me using my template/prototype. |

Very nice things being made. My epoxy boxes are spinning every nite for a week now so I hope to have a little something for festival. I will be painting and epoxying till mid April like most years. Maybe try for some pics this weekend.

can I come over and paint some plugs? |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Tyler and I will be there for sure, I do have yard clean up duty in the AM so I will be down late morning/early afternoon.

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

Man, I'm getting more and more excited about this thing. I can't wait to meet all you guys! Granted I really don't have much to bring, although I did just get a bunch of vintage freshwater plugs I'm probably never gonna use if people wanna trade for those. Otherwise, I'll just be soaking in the info, and taking tons of pics!
