Thanks Tagger, I remember that Chum pluggage swimming in P-town harbor. It was unreal. I needed a photo to remind me to copy it. Those skin plugs...OMG! Thanks for the tail tip, too.

b/w...about 25 years ago..went to D+R a got a pick-up truck load full..800.00? to make hutches and dinning room table etc...not much left over, but managed to drag a few pcs. home before the fire which took the rest of the scrap...anyway...had enough to make some 54's and 3 master lure non-jointed eels....if u have any woodworkin shops around u....pay them a visit....what they all waste...is gold for plugs....cherry too...3/4 x 3/4 needles.

Great look on the skin plugs.... I like the Idea of just the belly 1hook...I rigged a bunch of needles like that this year, they worked pissa.
