Thumbs up

Tony, I am glad you approve, I tried to do my best work yet painting though I still have a long way to go. I rigged and coated them last night so I will post a pic of the finished plugs tonight. Thanks again, Steve S. ( If you ever get anymore bodies you don't know what to do with send them up, besides I need the other sock to make a pair.)

Why even try.........

Smile Hey MikeCC

You wouldn't be getting stainless screw eyes would you? Some plugs don't need or are too small for practical wiring through. Screw eyes were on the plug that took the biggest Striper ever taken out of the canal ( 68 lbs on a Gibbs Cast-a-Lure Popper). Sure would be nice if they could be bought locally like say, at your shop? Think it over, thanks Steve S. BTW, awesome selection of plug parts, once you get lips and weights it will be perfect!

Thanks Again.

Why even try.........

I never really saw Lefty's version of this color but if that's what they look like that's cool 'cause these were rolled in Jersey, Here they are finish coated and ready for hooks.
