Man bigfish, that yellow howdy looks Great. And to think you just started only a few months ago! To me that shows if you put your time and effort in, asking the right questions and getting the right anwsers and just working your hardest, You can make a SWEET plug with great qualty. As i type this i have one of your needles hanging next to me. I try and try to find a flaw with this plug, but there are NONE. And i applaud you Bigfish for doing such a geat job not only making plugs but showing us if you put your time in and study all of the great Knowledge on this site that you can do ANYTHING!


Thank You!

Thanks for the comps guys and ML in particular, but anything I do is simply a testament to the builders here, their patience and generosity. I have taken all that they have given me and done the best I could with it! Man, I just love building plugs and I can't get enough of it!

jomlt9....scale pattern is done with a fabric called tulle' (pronounced tool) you can buy it at any craft/fabric store. Wrap the tulle around the plug, I use small clamps I bought at Home Depot to clip the tulle tightly arond the plug, and the key, as many here told me, is to spray very lightly...too heavy and the tulle will stick to the plug. Spray very lightly and leave the tulle in place until dry.
