?????? That raises another question .. What kind of event is plugfest ? I been telling people its just builders.. They wanted to post it "over there" last year and I said,, I believe its just builders.. If it is a general public thing,, people better keep a better eye on thier plugs .

You've been making some really nice and interesting looking stuff. Can't wait to see some of it next weekend.

I've finally got my first batch of the year on the spinner now...

I think Paw Paw did, Eddy. It was one of the baits that got them going, I believe (but don't bank on it). Most of them had a deeply cupped face, almost popper style, but some were flat like mine. It swims pretty well............actually, too well........it has more action than I like in a swimmer. Tried to slow it with a heavy tail hook, but that brings the nose too high and it looses its bite. Maybe that's why they cupped the face. I'll probably upsize the belly trebles and put a tail on it (maybe with a little weight back there as well).

Dave, regarding the pencils, I don't think they are anything special. They're just an upsized version of a throw away (single hook) bluefish plug I made by the dozens when I was much younger. They're easy to work, with a lot of splash and short zigags, but for bass I find the slower gliding action of a 2 1/2 oz Gibbs very hard to beat (I think the Gibbs is one of the three best bass plugs ever built).
