all too familiar with this. I've popped myself in the mouth twice due to the little fixture I use.

Don't let there be a third time.

By the way, nice stuff.

Apparently, someone needs to show you a safe way to do tail wraps on of these days.

Hey Mike those little vice grip plyers are great .. you can lock on .. You should change your angle of attack though and not pull towards your face .. Wife must bust em on you for that ,, mine would ..

Just got a good tail loop tutorial done by #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&...man did I have it all wrong, but the end result was still good.

Take a closer look at the pictures...you may notice there's one plug in there not made by me...see if you can pick it out.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Big pink Hawg hunter style pencil looks fished and uncopied.

You shouldn't, however, be practicing your signature on the wall before you sign your work.

I do it similarly to salty, minor variations that work for me with what I have.
