How nice is it to hammer 30" to 35" inch fish all afternoon in three feet of water and have the only your plug the only one that catches. It has been catching all spring , but yesterday was amazing. Time to hang it on the wall. Yes that is my blood, thanks goodness I decided to go barbless.

That plug was one of the first and started with a split tail that I super glued, so it was bound to happen.

That usually happens when the tail weight is pressed into the hole too tight. I like to make mine slightly oversize because most of the time the weights are not perfectly round. Anyway, thats a nice job that plug did for you! Good Work!!!
