Machined and sealed the little danny today. It's as true to the original as I can do without a dupe. In fact it was beside the lathe as I turned the Greek's. That original rewarded me handsomely...

Outnumbered wants "eye treatment" number 1! That would have been my first choice for this plug so I think this will be a very special plug indeed! It will also have a special extra "twist".....to be seen very soon! Very unique I think too!  Can't wait to see all the great work going on.....we will start a picture thread the weekend of the 7th if that is ok with everyone?? So if we can hold back a little we can make that weekend alot of fun with this??? Sound good? |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Dad gave me a lot of latitude so I've taken the opportunity to get creative which means I've spent a ton of time staring at the plug, I'm please with what I've got so far and cant wait to get to the serious painting.....I plan to swim it this week to make sure it is effective...overall...just about 10" needlefish, a little over 12 with the tail hook I think...planning to get to the SWE open fly tying night this week to work up a nice dressed tail hook, I'm thoroughly enjoying this but it's killing any other plug making that might have been done...still plenty of winter left, hope everyone decides to do this on a regular basis...

I gotta get moving on mine.  I thought we were just bringing these to plugfest... Saltydog that pikie looks great.
I owe a fat danny and I was planning on making a whole run of them but I've still got a dozen needle blanks turned and I haven't even worked the weighting out on those yet. The topwater stuff I did is primed but I wanted to mess around with the weighting on it but its been so cold testing been a pain. And then there were the freakin darters that had to be swum over and over again last weekend. They are almost done, first bunch will be epoxied tomorrow before work.
I'll turn the danny I owe tomorrow... sounds like a run of 1. Or maybe 2, I gotta make me one too! and the black ones in bad shape and so's yellow boy. So maybe 3, or 4 or 6.... ugh. |

Going down to the creek for a test swim. With warmer temps, and a window of water w/o ice will see if it dances!. I also need to swim a newly weighted design of a Wad needle. I'll get back w/ results.

Swam a few plugs. The Cowboy Jr is real sweet. Nice sway and dives 2' w/ moderate retreive. Excellent wake cranked slow. Lip and wire adjust will define the depth and waggle. The needles were as expected. 1' under w/ a wiggle.

I was asked to make a fresh water lure .. UUhhhgg .. Never made one . This would be a challenge .. I ended up with .,, what eles ? a predator .. Plug is thru wired and weighted just like the big guys .. I made a few knowing I'd mess up.. First paint job frog patern dots, I tried for perfect circles , with inner perfect circles ,, plus I put way too many .. Ended up looking like the polka dot kid .. I intentually after that tried messing up the circles too odd shapes ,. think it looks better .. I didn't have a real frog .. probably should have googled .. All I need now is an addy .. PM and I'll get on it ..
