I was lucky enough to get into plug building in late '03 early '04. That allowed me to learn from all the greats that started these plug buildinng forums. Guys like Jig Man, Guzz, Bassmaster, Slipknot, Eel Punt, Mac, Tagger, Back Beach Jake. The list goes on.
The most memorable thing was the very first PlugBash at Herring Cove. It seems like everyone was there. Skitter Pop, Winch, BigFish Larry, Artistic Sensibilities, Ratty as well as the guys mentioned already etc. It was a chance to see what everyone was doing. For me it all started then and continues today. Great builders, great friends and a great hobby.
Happy New Year everyone.

A big Mr. Pogie fan  . His work is always flawless. MAC and Hawg Hunter pencils are so sweet. I am also inspired by a lot of old fresh water plugs/builders/companies. Pleuger pal-o-mines, bass-orenos, heddon and creek chub to name a few. |
work hard, fish hard and die happy!

guzz was probably the biggest help to me when I first started building plugs (2001). Had a bunch of conversations with him on building topwater stuff that really helped a bunch. Winch was also a big help a year or so later when I started messing around with pikies more.
