Good stuff. Nice touch with the eagleclaw hooks, true to the originals I've seen. Have you made a few with lips as well?

none with lip's yet, that's on the todo list..need thin lexan and an old rebel lip to complete the repro. little devil's take time from start to finish.It's no wonder stan only made 800-1000.

Geeez... wish I had so many plugs I'd loose them .. Sure Steve when you get a chance get the forklift and move some boxes around. You'll find them before the snow melts ..

very nice. those things are awsome.

im making a similar body shape to that, but did not taper towards the belly like stan did, because i am making it a top water walking type lure, and i want all the wood/bouyancy i can get.
