Don't have a hell of a lot of custom plugs but the one I like the most and will probably never use is a peanut swimmer plug by Bernzy I got as a donation to a good cause. Paint is simply beautiful. Paul

Talking

I've got a Jiggy jointed striper pikie that I swim I probably shouldnt, I got a jiggy I've taken large on I should probably hang it up.. I wont... I got a Mac pikie, that is marinating waiting for its shot in a school of VERY LARGE bait, Ive got a jointed darter made by a random person who was at an inlet, I got a chumbucket popper that is awesome, I have a tobias that is flawless, I've got a signed bernzy pikie, I've got rainbow Pichney's that I got before the craze... I love them all the same and they are all truly great works of art but their time comes and they can hang over the computer desk no longer.. Then they go swimmin I got Gary2's that are beauties! ANd they'll swim

Domination takes full concentration..

I have to agree with Tagger. I love all my customs no matter who made them. Especially the ones that have teeth marks or that the paint has been stripped off by fish. My current favorite is a digger plug that was mauled one night by bass and blues. It's always one the first plugs I throw every time out, if not the first. It will be going back for a repaint over the winter.

The one thing I realized is that each plug has it's own set of conditions that it's tailored to. You just have test each plug and figure out how it works then fish it when the time and conditions are right. I also try to learn from ones received from other builders. I think I learned more about darters from a swap I did in the spring then I could of in a year on my own. Pictures are nice but, nothing compares to having the real thing and fishing them.
