I gotta get moving on mine.  I thought we were just bringing these to plugfest... Saltydog that pikie looks great.
I owe a fat danny and I was planning on making a whole run of them but I've still got a dozen needle blanks turned and I haven't even worked the weighting out on those yet. The topwater stuff I did is primed but I wanted to mess around with the weighting on it but its been so cold testing been a pain. And then there were the freakin darters that had to be swum over and over again last weekend. They are almost done, first bunch will be epoxied tomorrow before work.
I'll turn the danny I owe tomorrow... sounds like a run of 1. Or maybe 2, I gotta make me one too! and the black ones in bad shape and so's yellow boy. So maybe 3, or 4 or 6.... ugh. |

Going down to the creek for a test swim. With warmer temps, and a window of water w/o ice will see if it dances!. I also need to swim a newly weighted design of a Wad needle. I'll get back w/ results.

Swam a few plugs. The Cowboy Jr is real sweet. Nice sway and dives 2' w/ moderate retreive. Excellent wake cranked slow. Lip and wire adjust will define the depth and waggle. The needles were as expected. 1' under w/ a wiggle.

I was asked to make a fresh water lure .. UUhhhgg .. Never made one . This would be a challenge .. I ended up with .,, what eles ? a predator .. Plug is thru wired and weighted just like the big guys .. I made a few knowing I'd mess up.. First paint job frog patern dots, I tried for perfect circles , with inner perfect circles ,, plus I put way too many .. Ended up looking like the polka dot kid .. I intentually after that tried messing up the circles too odd shapes ,. think it looks better .. I didn't have a real frog .. probably should have googled .. All I need now is an addy .. PM and I'll get on it ..

that's a great looking frog! I just got back from the pier, there was a nice little current moving so I was able to see my plug in action, I've been trying make a realistic eel in a large jointed needle despite what I read in the archives about the uselessness of jointed needles, I drilled out the inside of the back section and filled it w/ shot so that it's ass heavy and casts great then levels out in the water, the head section is smallish and wiggles side to side with tiny twitches, looked very convincing as i watched it from above on the pier as the current carried it....I got the micro scales done this weekend and will probably paint the features tomorrow....Dad, I wiil have a difficult time separating this from my hand...but I hope ya love it!
here's a peek at the tiny scaling, I think it works for an eel imitation, I can't wait to see how it looks with a little color on top...

Tagger that mini predator is the coolest thing I've seen in a long, long time. Swap you one of those giant submarines for one at plugfest.
