Made these a couple years ago for.....

Stifftip. I was hoping he would have fished them but found them today in his collection. They have become (sigh) hanger queens.
I make plugs for people so they will fish them. I guess I will have to steal them back and abuse them myself.

I have made only a few pencil poppers and two Polaris style poppers in my time building. These are examples.

If I sign it it will be the one and only and you can be sure it will say something "appropriate".

You mean like "Sasquatch was here"? How about, "I have not yet begun to fish", or "I regret I have but one plug to give for my country" or "Give me needles or give me death", or "ask not what I will give to you, but what you will give to me", or how about some biblical stuff like "on this rock I'll lose my plug", or "I will have no false dannys before me", "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's plugs", or "tell lies unto others as you would have others tell lies unto you". The possibilities are endless.

Funny Steve, I said the same thing to Carl
I have him one of my plugs and told him to fish it and do not display it. I also gave him a bag of old plugs to put in the display, Just to make it look more OLD and salty......

Good ones..
If I can add
"Don't shoot untill u see the white belly of this plug",
"Plugs are proof that God wants us to be happy"
"One if by plugs Two if by Sea"
"The Reel Thing Plugs"
"Domo Origoto Mr Plugato"
I still like
"Sasquatch was here"

I can add one more.. "Pharoh, let my pluggage go"

If you wanna make me a plug, I will most certainly fish it

60 % of the time, it works every time.

It is better to have plugged and lost than never to have plugged at all
Your plug bites, your plug chews it
Is that a real plug or is that a sears plug?

You have plugs? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

You must be the plug you wish to see in the world.

Anyone that has never made a plug has never tried anything new.

Nothing can bring you plugs but yourself.

A plug in the hand is worth two in the dispay case.
