Basic plugs

Hi,
I don't think I've posted many pics, here, but I come here a lot to soak up lots of info, so here's a few that I've just finished.
Some small surfies based on the 7300 dimensions someone posted here a while back....

Some larger 7400 style surfies that I love to fish in the spring....

It's basically just a plastic template, punch a row of holes in the plastic, cut thru the center with some scissors, and your left with a row of half-holes......lay the template on the plug, spray only the back half of the half-holes, shift the template back a little, and repeat.
Takes some getting used to, I smeared paint all over.
