Red heads are a fan favorite! I love poppers too! They look very Atom-like? Super nice!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Thoose look fine you are going to be thrilled beyond belief when you get your first fish on a plug that YOU made. Although I feel obligated to warn you there is no turning back, you will now see potential plugs or things you can use to help build plugs everywhere you look.

Nice stuff! There's nothing like taking a fish on something you made yourself.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Gorgeous first ,,no kidding ,, If you want to keep them that way beware of storing them with that black tubing hook guards ..I aquired some plugs with that crap melted all over the bottom of them . Looked like the worm burn thing was going on .. If its the same stuff ,, suggest the clear plastic tubing many here use . never an issue here...

Thanks again
