Okay, here's what I have started lately. The needle with the bent thru wire weighs 2-3/4 oz. and should tend bottom well or keep down in a running tide. The big danny has a modified NJ Tackle atom lip I bent up myself.

All but a few are recent, about 20 more waiting for some wire to come in so I can assemble. About another 65 bodies turned/sanded waiting to be drilled.

You came to sites on top of the heap George ,, fantastic work ,, 20+ yrs. building shines...I just did a 10 swap over there.. just turning bodys (predators)... I'm changing sealer,, experimenting,,, I'm getting set up with new stuff,, couple of things $$$$.. I have 8 handcarves knockoffs..Big O ,,bomber,,cordell,,Gary2,,top gun,plastic type stuff.. I gotta get to work on needles soon for the bag .. want to fish knockoff Pichney pocket rockets next year . Had darter revelation to stop splitting want to work on that.. Lots to do so little time .. I wish winter was longer ,. .. You taught me handcarve last year George .. thanks for that... is 4 hrs a long time to make a body ?.. Crash .. Blue/whites look mint .. can you slow sink them ,, vary depth slightly adjusting speed of retrieve ? even bring them on top at slow retrieve ..

No awesome paint like you guys, but they look decent, and swim like mad. The burple/black will dive real deep, 7-10 if you let er rip. Does 2-3 on a moderatly slow retrieve, wide, eratic, sweeping action. The wannabe surfster is an owesie, and on its way to north carolina friday.

Awesome stuff, Fred. Amazing finish on those Atom/Surfsters. And the squid, are they topwater or subsurface plugs? Please post some closeups when they're done.

Fred nice to see a cellar that looks like a cellar not some super clean modern dust free shop. Looks just like mine. Nice work too.
