Last few for this year and thank you...

Just finished swimming these in the pond. They're 7.5" and 4 oz. Made from EWP.

I used an old musso sr. diver as a template and put additional belly weight(.75 instead of .5 the original had)

Thanks to all here for putting up with me this winter and especially for all the good advice.

I think these plugs brought my cost average down to $100 per plug, so I'm slowly recouping my intitial investment...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole

You're about as done as a Sheryl Crowe with a 1/2 empty case of condoms. The urge will soon return.

You'd never know you're a first year builder with the plugs you've made this year. Great job all around, Mike! I'm looking forward to posting a pic of a nice, healthy bass with the white Back Beach danny hanging from it's mouth. You definitely have a real talent for plug building.
