Definitely try a small pencil too I do a 1/2 oz canal style that will slay smallies better than a spook most days. Though if you are interested in scaled down spooks, I might just know where to get one

I am working on a few sizes of surfster, never ever made any of these before. Did some research been toying with how I want the body to look. Finally have the body I want and ran off several on the duplicator last night. Never having made these I have to find some open water to test swim some this weekend before putting them in the sealer. Going to be tough with highs here in the 5 degree range this weekend. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Still turning out a few different protos trying to get it to behave how I want it to. Only problem now is most of my testing grounds are iced up pretty solid.

THE GREEK: Nice shape carving. How bout an old fashion Block color scheme, green over silver. a green cross between olive and green and a subdued silver. I do needles in this shade, looks nice and real.

Outnumbered/Eye Selection?

Outnumbered? Giving you eye options for your Atom Jr. Pick which you would like on your plug! The 1/2" eyes shown in picture 4 and 5 can be done with the non-recessed eye socket as well (pictured in picture 2). Let me know ASAP as I want to get her all drilled and sealed tomorrow!

2 more options....as I said these can also be done with the non-recessed eye socket as pictured in the second photo? These are the new eyes that Cape Cod Tackle has and they are pretty sweet!
