Hi gone fishing do you happen to have a closeup of that yellow, white, and red number on the right in the right picture above? Looks pretty sweet.

Crap! Where do I get one of those?

PS. Eddy and Chris, I'm pretty sure they are unweighted, if I get a chance I'll check for sure.

Hi friend
sweet plugs

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

BBJ -- Like the 40, but especially like the reverse atom. Any trouble thru driling to get the wire eye in place where you have it? Did you drill to the hook hole in the rear and drill from the front to that hole? How does it swim? I have been meaning to try that plug scaled down just a little. Using a single hook in the center.

I drilled from the fat end to where the line attaches. Then I start the other end straight in and thed turn toward the rear. The way I've weighted them they lay dead flat in the water, because of where the line loop is it will leap up if twitched hard or slide if swept. It will also walk the dog. I only used a tail and a belly hook because a third hook is a PIA if you're not killing everything you catch. It's a plug that never was- a wooden reverse 40.

Here are my first plugs ever - turned them Saturday - big thanks to Baystalker for the lessons - especially the safety warnings!!!!!

This Danny shrunk & shrunk - here is whats left



This one the tail is flared - I was scared of catching an edge which I did




This one was a mistake After rounding I gouged too much - had to reverse the stock and try to save it. We'll see


Ride the spiral to the end...............
