names go for $2.10 apeice or you can a sheet with 64 names for $23.75 .......Again, customer service was out standing.


after taking a better look I got #14, not #18.....smaller lettering can do smaller diameter blanks as well as larger ones.

You can't see it in the pic, but there's a stripe of pink pearl down the middle between the yellow and the white.
They will need 2- 3/0 trebles.

You bring the plug we talked about, and I will make template, then you can have both that one and the Heddon back bubba.
But you need to bring ya airbrushes too.

Just painted Blue pearl over Silver pearl. Pics don't do the colors justice. I borrowed the paint scheme from Eel Punt.

Ed if we are all making 11 plugs, then there will be 2 sets left for John right? If there are how about we hold one set for the year long tourney.

My plan is to give them to John for him to use the best way he sees fit to support the site. I would imagine he'll raffle at least one set.

Some for the tourneys would be nice too.
