Let's get this party started

Christmas is over, Plugfest coming, time to start building. Come on you guys, Eddy, Flap, Paul, others.......whatcha hiding? Here are two to get the juices flowing. Gave a third to Flap.....which is a waste 'cause he's got too many to start........a fourth is waiting for a repaint. Did pretty well with these things this year, even better with the bigger ones.

well anytime you wanna lose one in my plugbag, it's fine by me George

I gotta get going on something this weekend I guess.

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.

Okay, here's what I have started lately. The needle with the bent thru wire weighs 2-3/4 oz. and should tend bottom well or keep down in a running tide. The big danny has a modified NJ Tackle atom lip I bent up myself.

All but a few are recent, about 20 more waiting for some wire to come in so I can assemble. About another 65 bodies turned/sanded waiting to be drilled.

No awesome paint like you guys, but they look decent, and swim like mad. The burple/black will dive real deep, 7-10 if you let er rip. Does 2-3 on a moderatly slow retrieve, wide, eratic, sweeping action. The wannabe surfster is an owesie, and on its way to north carolina friday.

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.

low & slow 37
