1st Attempt ...

Okay now guys be gentle on me, but be truthful.
I know I have a long way to go to get good but these are my 1st attempt at making some plugs, I went with a familiar bait scheme.

I'm not going public with these for sale so no worries of another pinhead with a lathe trying to score some cash, these are for me and my friends just to tease the stripers ... I hope!

Well they're made of hard maple, are 5 1/2" long without the bucktail and weigh in at 3 ozs. The small one's are 4" long and weigh 1 1/2 ozs. I swam them at the local YMCA to see how they worked and they worked beautiful in the water.

I hope the stripers like them and I hope I get the seal of approval from you guys, and if the bass don't like them then I'm sure the blues will. Sorry Clammer, not making blues candy on purpose!

Pictures may be a little iffy but I'm not a photographer either, I just hope I'm on the right page in my trials. I have some other colors I'm trying also for at night.

Okay guys, let me have it!

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
