whats your best on one of your own ?

I've taken several in the 20's on my poppers and one around 26# on the 1st needle I ever made... Biggest fish I know of that were taken on lures I made were caught by tlapinski at cutty... he had 3 or 4 fish in the mid 30 pound range on my pencil popper in one weekend. That's almost better than catching them yourself.

several fish in the low 20's on my dannies, & darters. biggiest was 36.5 on one of my needles..

Nothing compares to the feeling you get landing a cow on your own wood.. nothing.

A night full of 25-30 pounders first time out with my own plugs the season before last...needlefish. Last season 26 pounds on one of my jointed eels. I got bigger fish in mind for this season!

I did pretty well on a few of my pencils.Maybe 4 or 5 over 30#'s to 36#'s.With quite a few in the high 20's.Lost My best one on a good fish on a crowded jetty when i tried to put the breaks on her.It was a BMW yellow/gold 10 inch 4oz.sealed up fish killer.Took a real beating an held up real well.They could not resist the water throwin action.Then again I live in NJ an this is common place the last few yrs.

half a dozen in the low 30's,,a bunch mid twentys.. and one I just couldn't get in .. all on needles ,, blue and white or pink and white or olive and white . Alot of smaller fish on spooks except one maybe low 30's I broke off and watched swim away with the spook .. only three years building and not enough time to dedidcate to each plug .. This year handcarve swimmers will be the flavor .
