some nikes and small light needles, some small Mac dannies, and a Pike sandwich, Mac is the meat and M. Fixter is the bread on the styles.

Wow, beautiful stuff!

you have a lot of flaptails there, you gonna fish all of them or are they for friends and trades too? Must be a pretty versatile plug if they are all for you.

Nice Paul...very nice. Love how sharp and clean your plugs are. Probably see you on the water at some point over the next few weeks. Good luck out there.

More stuff that I had to fish today to see if they were going to be any good to show yeah. I was pretty much happy with everything that I more or less copied from others like Howdys, Flaptails, Nikes, and Dannies.
The stuff I kind of thought up myself, I say kind of because I am influenced by everything I see so every plug maker has a hand in my stuff.
These were some swimmers, bottom 2 in picture, I did and I really like one and kind of liked the other. I was going for a larger G2 slim look, but bigger. The difference was the lip. The top 2 are a Lupo troller and a Bluestreak .

And these top water plugs. I was extremely happy with them and caught several nice fish on them this morning. I call them Jigzouri's as I patterned them after my Jigman spook and my favorite plastic spook the Youzuri hydro pencil. They fished great and I will be making more of these this winter for sure.
