A bit of plug lot trivia.
I believe this MAC to be SUPER rare. I remember wining one in a site auction some years ago that I sold and then he donated another exact duplicate for the charity display. I'd be curious if anyone knows how many he made.
The jointed swimmer was a product of the Mur-Eel frenzy. I started out to copy the Mur-Eel but decided I wanted something bigger that was a bit over the top and would be a perfect match for a big glass rod like my 1213m. As it was a totally custom plug I had to design it from scratch which obviously required several test plugs and a lot of test swims to get the weighting perfect.
Not having a lathe all my plugs were spun on a drill press which takes a lot more time. As a result I only made one finished plug, so I gave it a proper paint job. It's either AYC or Port Orford, can't remember. I probably have the plans around somewhere if anybody wants them.
This plug wasn't in the original display, but I don't think I'll ever fish it so what the heck.
The RIROCKHOUND was donated for the display but never made it as it was lost in the back of my buggy. When I found it years after I wasn't sure it was Bryan's. I mean, it was dark and moody like most of his plugs but the hole was on center and the lip cut straight???
Thanks for the generous opening big Phil, but I hope you didn't kill the thread
