Heading over to Slips today to pour some belly weights and to try out the new mold I finished on Friday. It only took me about a year to finish after taking another year to finally agree to do it and Bruce was very patient. It is a tail wgt. mold similar to the one Stan Kuzia made many years ago. It will allow a decent amount of weight to be exposed at the tail to enable the plug to fly longer and straighter. Your pencil will taper down to blend into the end part and you will tie your wire right up against the lead. Its a canal thing.  |

That's pretty cool, let's the lead drag the wood through the air. They don't call them sharpies for nothing.

no line-no borrowies
the mold is trademarked PM
2 years in development and waiting and building makes it very very valuable, cost may have exceeded into the thousands. therefore after a period of 2 years time from today, the line starting with grapenuts, all borrowers must leave 1st born as a deposit in good faith, and return promptly with plenty of product or trade equivalent value pluggage.
sorry , thems the rules guys

Turned, drilled, slotted and sealed some slopehead dannys and a cowboy proto yesterday.
They're gonna be painted in a mackerel pattern that I've come up with using a lace mask. I'll post when done.

Late as usual. Sent you my addy Luis. I forgot to set clock ahead last nite and walked into church this morning only to have mass end 1 minute later. No wonder people were looking at my family stranger than usual.
Found a gallon of helmsman spar yesterday that wasn't VOC compliant, dust covered on shelf. Had lots of other places I called say no. Will be looking this upcoming week. You can get the quarts that way but the gal.'s are all compliant. I guess I could just buy 4 quarts but it won't be cheap that way. Epoxy sealed a bunch of pine plugs last nite. Hard as a rock this morning. I will probably start using this method more and more. Luckly CS gave me a bunch of clear coat last year so I am using it for that as it is kind of old but perfect for sealing.
Cheerio. |

Speaking of clear coats
Here is one of my schoolie-ish clones I call The Muskrat (the ones rigged with the Lefty 2 that dive deep I call The Weasel). With a Lefty1 bent down and the lip bent down it will swim no deeper than 3-4" in calm water. It pushes a wake much like a tuna does when swimming just under the surface, and at super slow speed it swims 'in' the surface, as opposed to on top of it or below it as a danny does. I have high hopes for it.
