the popper on top starts satin gold on the belly - blended to copper on the sides - to lt. brown top.
the bottom one is DEEP blue/black on top - red eye - i tried getting the bottom pink, after two coats it still came out eggplant.

Those are beautiful plugs. I notice they look a little flat. Are they turned on the lathe? Maybe its just the picture, very pretty plugs.  |

I saw the dannies the other day. They are beautiful!!! I'm sure they'll swim great. Tell us how that free floating lip works... I:ve done that on a few of mine recently. Won't get to swim them til next week.

thanks for all the complements guys, i put alot of work into this batch - and it really paid off
ROC, i turned them on a lathe with a duplicator. the top ones do have a flat on the top....that's what makes them a deep diving danny. the water will help force the plug down.
i'll take you up on that offer AH. I swam them today after work just before the sun went down on me. the had a good, tight wiggle to them. with faster reeling - or a few tugs they disappeared.....when i slacked up on them they came back up, but sloooowly
I should've done 1 or 2 with the lip flush to compare  I did that on the last (black) one, but that has a small lefty lip. |

I learned that grommet trick online here somewhere.
I actually brought a pipe with me and showed how it's done.
Drill a hole in some 1/2" black pipe, set grommet in and take a hunk of hardwood that you shaped a semi-circle on one end and hammer it on the grommet to shape it. Another way to do grommets is to do like Bigfish does and countersink the whole thing, you have to drill 2 holes, 1 the overall diameter of the grommet, and the second= a deeper hole for the swivel the size of the inner part of the grommet. I have not tried that but I want to soon.
