I remember this guy posted a pic of his work not too long ago here. His plugs had screw eyes like the one in the pic if I remember right. It might be his.

looks like one of mine. I dont remember painting on in that color scheme not to say i didnt paint one like that. And I personally didnt lose a cowboy this season. I did give lots of protos away, could be one from the first batch i did.

do you have more pics?

and where did you find it? might help me figure out who was the original owner.

i only lost 4 of my own pvc plugs this season, so theres a needlefish, a magnum darter and 2 bottle swimmers out there too somewhere. good luck if you find them.

Yeah thats definetly one of mine!!

i think that was from the original batch of protos. If it has a second indent on the bottm then its one of those. The mark is where the 2nd screw eye was going to go, but decided on just one.

It was given to a buddy who fishes in newport. he confirmed he lost it at breyton point. so not sure where you found it, but sweet find either way.

he only had it for about 2 weeks, give or take.

its laminated pvc, not wood.

Again great find and enjoy!

all i find is used line and sinkers
