Nice batches of plugs guys!

Ok I'll bite. I have been working on plugs for a swap I am involved in and not much else lately. After this swap (and PlugFest) I will have more than I will be able to fish the entire year.

Here is my latest batch. A school of mackerel slow sinking glide/jerkbaits.

Here are a few new works from Plugbillder (my dad)

Blonde Terror gave him a tiger blank at Plugfest and Bill turned it into a nice 9" needle. He added the scaling on the bottom as well.

I am taking the 3 unpainted Stubby's with me to have my grand daughters paint them in Dallas and then Bill will finish the "4 generation plugs" (their mom will help them). I plan on fishing them this spring and sending each a picture of the fish I catch on them. We are also doing "bassmaster classic" with canned corn for bait when I am in Dallas this weekend at a local park pond. The girls are 3 , 5 and 7 and love to fish and catch. The metal lip has scaling and gold micro glitter. It is a knock off of one of Slipknot's plugs.

The last picture is the scaling effect on the bottom of the needle and metal lip Bill has started doing since Plugfest. You guys were a real inspiration.
