Goo Goos, Eelie, and Donnys

I thought I was done building but after going to Plugfest I had to make a few more plugs based on ideas hatched from talking with all the great plugmakers. This is the first time I have made front weighted 6 3/8 inch Goo Goos to fish rips off the cape.... can't wait to try them


Now I have to make matching flags and dressed siwash tail hooks for all the new plugs I plan to fish this year.....

I forgot to bring you some squirrel tail to PlugFest..for the dressed siwash tail hooks

BT,

Nice work, love the plugs.

Did you make the lips? Where is the weight on the Goo Goos? Chin?

Great job,

Ms

Very nice clean work. They'll do the job quite nicely.

.5 ounce dead ctr just behind the lip... plug has ctr thru wire and I put (2) .25 oz belly weights in a 3/8 x .5 inch hole (just like a typical tail wt ) After epoxying them in I drilled thru the wts with an 8 " long 1/8 bit from back to the front. It got the wt scheme from Seabuggy from a post several weeks ago. There is also a .25 oz belly wt so this is definitely a sinking plug

It was nice meeting and talking with you at plugfest BT. I hope we can catch with the yaks sometime this year. Plugs look great. Very, nice work. Interesting weighting of those goo-goos!
