Here are a few more. The brown one was supposed to be a squid color, but looks more like a turd.

George, for the bottle darters or even on a regular bottle swimmer, how do you shape the front lip ? I'm guessing you start on a band saw but how do you round the sides ??

I'll PM you a link to Mr Pogies thread on this subject (one that still has pictures). Basically you layout the shape, rough out some waste with a saw, sand back to the linetie level with a sanding drum, then tilt the plug up or down to cut the sweep back to the layout lines.
There is a lot more to it than the thread explains, getting the curve correct and how you weight the plug changes things a lot, but the actual shaping by a sanding drum, after roughing out most of the waste is pretty easy.

Back in my youth, antything resembeling a turd in the Merrimack river got devoured... looking at the shape/design of those plugs... the color probably wont matter.... they will be eaten happily anyways...

looking foreward to seeing them in person.
