Rookie finally getting the hang of it.

Yes, I am using grommets but three of the lures were like the
mullet pattern one in the picture and the hole was drilled out
a little bigger than 1/4 inch to accomidate the larger weights.
Since then I went to Ace Hdw and bought some stainless washers
and now no problem as I have cut the wire and re-wrapped.

I am going to use the plugs in the surf down around Sebastian Inlet
and south in Sept and nov when the mullet run draws in all the predators like Snook, Blues, Kingfish,tarpon & of course sharks.

"Terry Parsons" a local surf expert has already started catching
Tarpon and last week a 40 pound Wahoo. Rumor has it on a Atom 40 are look alike. He did hold the state record of 51 LB redfish but since broken. If I am lucky with a big Tarpon will post a Picture
