First attempt at a popper.

I still have some sanding to do but I'm pretty happy with it.

Nice, are you gonna use GooGoo eye eyes?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Ball rasp in a drill press after I cut the angle.

Cool look. Did some goo goo poppers a while back for some friends. Unfortunately I never kept one for myself. I'll just have to build some more. Made those from pine though. Good luck with them.

They look real good. Tip; Don't make the face angle too steep it will cause the plug to rise in the water and not throw as much water. The way to weight a steep face angle is to get it slightly tail down so the face hits the water when you "chug" it.
I like the double eye up top like that.

Beautiful! Let us know the results when they fish!

Now my self esteem lowers further on not being able to even turn a damn needle proper...
