So much for good plans!

Well, not sure if you remember my 1st post... was planning to focus on one plug, a Danny. Well, my name is Greg and I have a problem.

I have been busy reading all your posts and experimenting in my shed making lots of everying. Well, the 1st plug I made was a Danny, but all bets were off from that point forward. Swam plugs over the past two weekends and was thrilled with the action of most. Here they are:

By the way, thanks to everyone posting on this site for sharing so much information!

All look sweet man, nice job.

I'm digging the blind peanut in pic one in the left column

Nice color combos and shapes.

Those peanuts have a ton of tail action, real cool swimming action. I hope the fish like them! Thanks!

Looks like it's time to go fishing

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Nice job they all look great. A season of fishing with them will tell you a ton as well. Also which you think you may focus more on building and any tweaks you may wish to add to the designs you have.

If those slim swimmers (especially the green over pearl) in the lower right of the second pic swim as good as they look, your in for a great season!

Thanks everyone! I imagine as you say my perspective and ideas will continue to build as I fish these. Will start with the JBay kayak fishing tournament in a week.
