Plugs

Am I the only nit wit still trying to get plugs done? As long as the humidity stays away I will continue to try and finish them but the fishies keep luring me away

I'm fishing them. Building them is only part of the game, figuring out what works and what needs to be changed is the more important step. You need fish for that, and the fish are here. Including some very substantial ones. You'd think I'd know better.

I'm done.... I've got close to a hundred in every stage from turned to epoxied ( still in the spinner) needing hooks... and that's how it will stay until Mid October.... The fish keep getting bigger every day..no time for playing with wood.. it's time to fish it...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

I wish. That plug was mauled by a @ 25lb bass in 18" of water on 5/2, which then proceeded to humilate me (much to my dog's disgust). No way I was expecting anything that size that soon, in broad daylight to boot. Now I gotta find another............. to enter in your contest.

Cool, I got a couple old lure bodies from VB and made copies of an old blue streak as well as a conrad. Gonna give them a swim right now.
