Chris, those are all beauties!

I agree, George. Manzi wouldn't throw anything if it wasn't that olive color for awhile. Wouldn't it be great if he made a comeback? Both fishing and plug making.

And thank you for remembering me last week, George. You are a gentleman, generous to a fault. And you make a hell of a darter! (as well as your other creations, but I am biased to your darters)

He, or someone, did well with a blueish purple over dark silver giant pikie at some point. Here is a picture of one that Flap gave me. Huge thing made of red cedar, no weight, big lip.

That is one of the first ones we did way way back where we made our own lips from some stainless backsplash stock we got from the depot. I got some 4x4 red cedar we made some huge stuff from but cut it down for others as well. Then after speaking to Mike Fixter, we started getting Alaskan yellow cedar for them. Dave was creative with his paint jobs

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.
