The end result.....

of 14 different attempts over the course of 6 years. The z-lips are 5.5" and 1.9oz, and the blade lips are 5.5" and 2.4oz( my faves because I fish conventional ). AYC bodies with hand formed stainless steel hangers and thru-wires, epoxy sealed inside and out.

Beauties Rockman Love the 2 belly hooks an just a tail wrapping.
I have found though fatter plugs just don't score as well as thinner ones.just my take.It is easy to get them fatboys to do there thing.on top or sub surface.U can get em heavier so the cast bettr but they just don't score as well.Of course any one of he three yellow Z lips could change my thinkng on this.
The paint is stellar ur work is way improved from the fine plugs I picked up at diggers house for a auction I ran a few yrs.ago.Mullet season is just around the corner u need to make a light blue back silver scale sides with a blue flashnose an a petey eye.

Hey NIB,
One of those chartreuse yellow Z lips is now in my collection

Thanks Russ. They really are beautiful. I can't wait to throw them to the fish and bust 'em all up.

BTW NIB, I'm still holdin, onto your roman...
Maybe I'll bump into you again one day. It's been so long since I've seen ya, I'm beginning to think that you're a ghost
