Fisherman Magazine Plug Building Articles

We are once again running the plug building series of articles by Dave Anderson (Canalman) in The Fisherman Magazine this winter, and I have been trying to drum up some pictures of plugs that guys have made off past articles. If you have some pics please post them up as I would like to do a spotlight online of subscribers' work. You can also email me at tlapinski@thefisherman.com.

So far this winter Dave has covered the Silent Sand Eel (originally designed by George Thackery, and February's plug is the Masterlure Straight Eel. I actually spun up some of these yesterday with JLH and look forward to throwing them this year. In past years Dave has covered the Norris Jet Squid, the junior Conrad, the jointed eel, a beefed-up Lefty, a flaptail, the "mini" jointed giant, the spin Atom, the eely and much more.

Toby - why don't you go back and re-publish all the original plug building articles from Jack Frech?

The idea has been thrown around a few times. There are no digital copies of them so we'd need to begin by rewriting them all, then re-do the graphics, etc...
