Thumbs up Canal Specials

Special thanks to,
Mike Thomas, Professor M, Slipknot, Tagger, numbskull, Rockfish, PNG, Afterhours and anyone I forgot.... All of you gave me directions how to make jigs, drill the holes a better way and how to seal, finish and rig. Your instructions on old threads or everytime I was picking your brains in person, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I still have a long way to go, but this is the first time that I've had the flat side come out almost consistent....

Thanks again,

O.D.M.

I'll take a blind pearl white one with a red chin splash please.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Thanks everyone!!!

Blond terror, There's two weights ones about 2 and the other is around 2.75. x 8"

Chef Chris, I only had a little of white left in a rattle can, when I haven't tested new lures, I don't like to go nuts with the airbrush to find out that they don't cast, work or even catch. Made that mistake in the past....

Thanks again,
O.D.M.
