Ok, here they are. Mahogany, 7", 3.5 oz, stainless steel screw eyes, 3x VMC trebles. I work them like a spook and the flaptail really causes quite a bit of commotion. I first tried it unweighted, but decided to throw in a belly weight to help the action. This was a really enjoyable build as it forced me to stray out of my comfort zone. Hopefully you all like them and ChefChris catches with it. I have an extra for the upcoming auction of course.

Thanks!

Going to start the Auction tomorrow Mon. 9/19 and run for 2 weeks. If your plug is ready just add it to the auction thread on the main page, post a pic of it and a description.

SS I got the Floyd Roman. Tremendous looking plug. Taking it for a swim soon. Thanks. I'm siked. It's my first F.R. This swap was a great idea. Thanks for heading up this project.

Got my "Swap" Weasel Plug From Stripercrazy today

Wow... I got the mail today and was pleasantly surprised with a small box containing a beautiful 7.5" Weasel plug in yellow Flash. Sweet looking reproduction of a rare plug.

Then to my surprise in the box were 3 additional painted/clearcoated plug bodies: 2 very nice spooks and a Cutty style popper.

Stripercrazy has been very busy at work so he was slightly delayed in finishing but now I look forward to trying these beauts out ... probably next spring.

here are some pics of these great looking plugs

THANK YOU Stripercrazy! You make great plugs...
