George I got lots of favors to ask you.  Can I borrow that orangie, red, Bassaqua you have hanging on your wall. I need to see that color up close. Can I have one of those Musso danny things in a naked form. The kid you were fishing this fall from the boat. I need to make some for a friend as payment for his services and I have never done one. Why the pikie lip on the one you gave Lu? |

Yes you are right that must of been a pain to drill as you need a big hole and then either fill or just cap it.I would guess is to lower the center of gravity to not get as much roll. |

Thanks George on the xray of the A54b. I questioned the model earlier. Now you confirmed what model it is. Mucho grazies. I see you been doing Wadds. Are you conventionally weighting them? Would you like try my maverick way in weighting. It's a little more time but it makes building a fun challenge.

Ed. I took a much smaller one gave to me by Capesams, whom he told me was made my Tony Stezko Sr.. I took the plug and lengthen it a lot. Then this year I took the template and moved it back a smidge to make it quite a bit smaller in dia. It really doesn't have any greater action than any other needles but I just luv the lines. I am going to make some smaller ones like Steve gave me too. Perfect for boat fishing.

Good morning everyone. Looks like everybody is busy. We've got ice all over everything here this morning. Gonna do some more building this afternoon. Here's a couple things I've got done recently.
Some stuff for freshwater. Small handcarved stuff and a scaled down jointed. Small swimmers that I fish in both fresh and salt the little blue over white has been a great largemouth plug. And a couple thin swimmers.

got a few more going.
some Lido flaptails
some small poppers I did pretty good on in the ditch this year
some more topwaters. I was very happy with this bastardization of a jigman spook and youzouri hydro pencil. I weighted it horizontal on center from one side to the other. Did 2 with belly wgts too just to see if it works better. Caught a lot of fish from the boat on it in the spring and the fall. My best job of the year. I like it out of red cedar, epoxy sealed, but I tried several other species of wood too this time.

Lu. This weighting works great. My buddys love the way it casts, fishes and catches. The weight is a 1/4" lead rod 3" long. Approx. 1oz. Pix of blank b/4 turned and a finished turning. A 1/4' dowel is glued in the drilled weight hole b/4 turned. |

Paul on the jigspook did you insert your weight side to side and then drill through it?

LOL . that ain't the half of it Lu. I go like crazy turning now then I am done for the year pretty much for the turning. Then I take a more leisurely pace to finish the stuff and I won't finish it all just what I feel like doing. I really don't enjoy the turning all that much after the first one and am glad to get it out of the way. I do like all the other aspects though and make them last longer. Kind of like getting rid of the candy outside to get to the rich chocolate center. |

yes and I really liked the action. It is a pretty big weight for that size plug but it is kind of a fat plug too so it is a wash. |

The turned model shows if you look hard, the dowel plug in the tail. The blank shows the dimentions. 3"from hook hole center to nose, showing the 3" area for the weight and the length from tail to end of weight hole 5". Plug 8.25" total length.
