Sunday Morning Plug Talk Thread!

I'm getting towards the end of a wiring/epoxy marathon (my least favorite parts). It will be nice to get to the end. I still have a few things I want to try but wanted to get all the in process stuff done/out of the way first.

The darters are all ones I refinished, the one at the bottom is one of George's.

Second pic is some new needles. I had an issue with the green paint and the epoxy interacting so those look like crap but fish wont care. Larger ones are pine, smaller ones are maple. Both types are right around 1.6 oz.

Last pic is a shorter/fatter proto type version of a needle I usually fish in the fall. I made 3 of these last year (top one is the original which I did well on and took apart and refinished. I made a few more to try in different colors. Those are around 2 1/4 oz.

I also finished up with some other proto type stuff. I have been fishing some slope headed stuff for the past 4 or 5 years and done ok with it. So I kind of took that basic shape and tried a darter shaped head on it instead of just cutting the slope. I am refinishing all the slope headed stuff in the first pic so it will be interesting to see if the different head shapes make them fish any differently.

I upped the size a little bit too, trying to get them closer to 3. I got real close on the weight. I just hope the fish like them.
