Nice plugs guys. Looking forward to seeing it up close in a couple months.

wow, that was a real treat...plug envy...talent envy...knowledge envy...workshop envy.... Professor, do you go with a vintage looking paint job on those Capt. Bills? I like the drawings, Bay Stalker had some nice ones in a recent post, those would look great framed up and hanging on the wall...

I've been turning out some pencils and polaris style poppers for the ditch here and there, but have also been toying with some newer designs (for me at least).

I've been making a surfster-ish plug for a while thats similar to the g2 slim plugs, and recently reshaped it a bit to look more like a slim, with various weight placement. Might try making it a slope-head as well. Probably some more experimentation with beer-cap lips too, since its fun and I have too much time on my hands, haha.

my original shape


the "slim"-er shape


Also one of my main projects is the conrad plugs, especially the junior. I would really like to start trying to fish these in the ditch this year, and learning how to do that should be fun (I hope). note the smoke in the epoxy on the yellow one from getting the lighter too close

First time I tried these so I have not decide yet. has a gigantic a-40 lip on this skinny little plug. The finish on the original is that plastic type outside finish capt bill used. I guess i will try one in the original paint, could be a challenge though.
