I am seeing some awesome stuff posted here, nice work to all of you.

I have a few plugs finished up. Some will be coming to PlugFest with me along with others I have to finish up. Although I cannot duplicate the kind of numbers of plugs some of you can produce with the methods I use, I have been picking away slowly at a bunch.

Some maple needles in mackerel, sandeel, yellow/pearl and herring paint. 6.25"

Some small-bait plugs for backwater or finicky bass. Small mummichog is 3.75" and larger one is 4.25", both maple.

I also have some more peanuts done. Some are fully sealed. These are right around 4.5", maple and AYC weighted to sink slow in natural and wonderbread paint.

Couple more loose pics I have laying around.

A large "lipless" plug in basswood. Larger than my smaller ones I have had good success with. My tests so far have been ok. Slight tweaks needed.
