I have never had that issue! Even after hook rash and dings my paint and clearcoat hold great with no lifting or peeling at all!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Good morning, looks like I'm early...

Here's this weeks projects... I got a few of the darters from last week sealed. I turned a bunch of stuff yesterday. Some 'jointed' bodies to be done with the 'nike' stye head I've been messing with, a few more 6" darters and some that I supersized up to 7.5" to try on my conventional plugging rod which I'm hoping to use more next year.

I'd like a big swimmer in the 3.5-4 oz range and I ran some searches looking for dimensions on the big donny. I could find the overall length 7.5 and the lip pikie 3, but didn't find anything about widths or hook locations ?

I haven't been doing any finishing yet. I wanted to try and get everything turned and sealed first.

Good morning.
That's about where I am. My plugs are turned and marked, and some have started down the machineing belt. I did manage to clear some that have been in the works for a long while. Lurkers...and one offs.

After all the tutorials on darters I may gut it up and give them a try again.

Here's one in particular that I've been working on. Cape Cod wood from a Cape Cod tree, made into a Cape Cod plug. I cut the branch last Summer and dried it on top of my furnace. Flaptail had mentioned that such a plug would be cool..
