Here are a few things I have been working on.
A squid darter, the paint work was inspired by a flaptail squid, Greek had given me, lots of time into this one, redesigned my darter & am happy with the darting motion.
5 1/2" Nike, played with them a bit and although the original was unweighted I found them to swim better with a bit of lead in them.
Handcarves are my new obsession! The yellow one is a 7" redfin copy, the middle one is an 8", I wanted a slightly larger plug, the 3rd one is 11" around 4 oz , the mackerel paint was done by Jmac, they look lifelike!

A few more,
6 1/2" Nike, borrowed an original off of Gremlin, Thanks Jamie!
Reduced the tailweight a bit & made 2 different versions, single & double hooks, also AYC & sugar pine, added a little more belly weight in the single hook version to compensate, this plug has a darting motion that is very awesome!
Not sure how the original swam, but am very impressed with them.
Next batch is some skinny pikies Fatneck & I made started messing with last year.
& a few more darters,
See you at plugfest!

Man, there is some incredible work on this post. My wife keeps asking what I am going to do with all these plugs and I tell her that "he who dies with the most plugs wins." Then I show her this post, yep she just rolls her eyes. Here are the final ones painted and waiting for tails. Three 7" Sandeel swimmers and two 4.875 musso swimmers. I messed up on the white one and must have drilled it for a high slot lefty #1, so we will see how that one swims. May be a good twist, little deeper.
Next year I am going to plug fest, this year I used all my vacation for my daughters swimming but this is her last year. Can't wait to see that event.

Wow Glen the plugs look awesome with epoxy on them! (Not that they weren't great without!) I am glad you got the splatter you wanted on the squid paint, it came out fantastic.
It was my pleasure painting the macks. Anytime.
Nice pluggage as well Hookset. I like the shape of those slim sandeel swimmers.
