Actual it's lead crystal and Eben blows them LOL Just kidding. I turn them and then sand, sand, wet sand, and polish-polish-polish- then for the mouth I used a little oil base Red and actually just brush it on.

Here is a BIG HEAVY black popper I just sold to a nice guy down in Georgia for Tuna.

Very Cool! One thing I found throwing poppers for tuna is that the ones that float catch better. Got floater?

There is the quagmire. I have alwayse loved the floating poppers myslef. But these definately aren't floaters. My wooden ones are but these like atom do not.

Armand - continuously showing commercial products is really knocking on the edge of spam - OK, it is actually going over the top. If you want to discuss some of the finer aspects of plug making that is one thing. Displaying and constantly refering to your commercial sales of your commercial plug biz (and to the extent that this has been happening lately) is against the rules of the site about commercial advertising. I want you to understand that you are encouraged to be here, but not as a place to show off your commercial wares. Isn't that reasonable?

Some people I am working with that may become sponsors at some time and a few of my existing sponsors have expressed interest as to why you are posting significant commercial work on S-B.

Some people have discussed being sponsors with me so if Don Bliz shows something he is working on, up to this point we've had a little bit of an understanding as he will be a sponsor here (in fact - Don - Call Me) and has some limited officially "approved" spamming capabilities .

If anyone else feels the need to call out someone else for SPAM - please refer it to me first - Thanks!
