First post of my work
Well I have been lurking on this board for a couple months now and I figured I would get the nerve to post one of my plugs I just finished.
First off though, I want to thank everyone that post on here, finding this site was one of the best things to ever happen to a guy like me.
I'm a lure nut like most of you and I spend all of my free time in the garage making plugs or spoons. I started making spoons about 2 years ago and I just now started making plugs. This all came about because Allan Cole and Mike Shaw wouldn't give me unpainted plugs so I could paint them. I decided the best thing to do was to just make my own. I don't own a lathe but I do have a dremel, files, air brush and good imagination.
I live in Southern California so the plug to make is big rainbows. this one isn't that big though, it only measures 8"
