Thats a good title for this group.
I had a serious motivation problem his year, and for the most part just tried to make do with left over wood, paint & cloudy epoxy. Sucks that michaels stopped carrying paint, but when it gets right down to it I can paint what I need with only 4 or 5 colors.
I didn't really need to make much for this year, so most of these are experiments for a lighter rod (10' stealth)..
Darters on the left are maple and the only ones I really needed to replace from last year, center darters are lighter (made of ayc and weighted), the slope headed on the right are more experiments (big ones are basswood and small are maple). The pencils are pine. I had a real hard time drilling them straight, I won't use that again on plugs that need a tail weight.
That giant pike is a repaint of an old beater of my dad's. Its been sitting on my bench stripped for 4 or 5 years so I figured I'd finally re-finish that and get it back into circulation.
Hopefully these get chewed up soon and I'll be more motivated next winter...
