My first plugs,thank you

Hello S.B members:
I just want to thank you for the knowledge i obtained in the last few months from all the builders i learned from this site and others.
The first time i saw the way plugs are and the way they're built,i was hooked.i decided to go for it without thinking about it twice.
yesterday was the wiring day and pictures. WHAT A FEELING. last night i glazed them with etex,but for now this is what i have for you.
i made them with pasion and desire to built and catch fish.
Hope you guys like them.

Very nice! If I had only one small criticism it would be that a few had really long wraps. If you tighten up closer to the lure you'll get a smaller wrap. I have a tutorial on my website under the kit section that will take you through each step if you want to look at that.

Those spooks will slay!
Thank you guys for the support.that will keep me going.
hey salty,can you mention your website or pm me the website name.
the tail wrap was my pain in the axxxxxx. but is a learning process,this is my first bash .the more i practice the better i'll get.they're not glazed yet,i'll post the pic when they're dried.

thank you for that link. i've been doing it like that but i have to practice for a few more times and see wich way is more confortable for me to deal with. no matter how close i bring the loop to the tail of the plug,i still end up with long tail.
i have to practice a few more times thats all.

Great start The tail wrap thing will come with practice. Cut the wire, remove and try it again.
