Picture 1 is my large spooks about 3 ounces. These plugs have taken a number of nice fish for me the last few years.
Picture 2 is a reworking of my smaller spooks with different weighting to hopefully improve castability.
Picture 3 are some prototype dannys.

Picture 1 are a danny I make especially for the canal...overweighted and underlipped but in the heavy current they are killer and have taken some nice fish.
Picture 2 are my modified cowboys that are trimmed out in the back to remove buoyancy to allow them to get deeper.
Picture 3 are a couple trimmed out musso style swimmer prototypes.

Picture 1 is a monstrous prototype Giant Pikie weighing about 5 ounces.
Picture 2 is batch of Gibbs GTS 3 3/4 copies.
Picture 3 are a prototype surfster and pikie in a bunker pattern, probably my favorite pain scheme I've come up with and the pictures just cant capture well.

All of those look sweet

But the cowboys are my favorite!! That rainbow one is great!

That's one of my all time favorite plugs, didn't build any this year, there the first thing to get turned once my lil shop us set back up.

Nice job on all of them! Great color schemes and your mack and bunker paint jobs look great.
