A few repairs.

getting to the end of the season for me, so Im repairing some BAD PLUGS.I had a few plug that would not SWIM, they liked to ROLL. I did a couple of BEARCATS an one was TROUBLE from the begining. so I reshaped the HEAD. now it swims GREAT an can swim fast or slow an dives. all of this in one PLUG. another FIRST for me. the same w/ a FAT SPOOK. so I cut the head on it also, an now it has great action. Im doing better w/ mess-up plugs.after looing at it, it looks like a big ORENO.


GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

Sweet saves Dog.

Been eying doing a Midg Oreno for fresh based on an original I got from my dad. How did you do the cupping on the face?

Thanks for taking me fishing Grandpa!
