Beautiful swimmers, Paul. I can see your preference for just white.

funny thing about the jointed Pichney is I really don't like jointed plugs. Single jointed plugs always look so un natural to my eye but it was a cool looking plug so I said what the hell it looks like a fun build. So I got an original from VB a few years ago, had George x ray it and made a single one. It sat for a year or 2 on the shelf till last year I bought it out with George as we usually drag way too many plugs with us and took it out for a swim and it looked decent a real snake like action. So I said I need to make a few more and use the darn thing. We shall see.

OK I'll wrap this up. I guess I did get more done than I thought this winter. Finished up some stuff from years ago too. I got in an epoxy groove, a good one, so I kept going.
Small Pichney Dannies
Gary2 slim, some slanted slims and a bigger one to try and a couple BM schoolies
Have gone back to the Gibbs design pencils and a few canal modified ones.

Med. Dannies and a couple small fat Fixter style Pikies. These were turned at least 3 years ago.
Pichney style large darters, a couple fun ones thrown it there too. Hope to ruin a few of these this year

That's all folks. Way more than I thought I did. I was glad to clean up stuff from the past too. I am glad it is behind me. Fun while the weather sucked but was getting old at the end.
I hope they like yellow this years

I will see in the next week or so. I saw a similar one made somewhere. Kind of did it for fun. My only worry is with the reduction of material in the rear will it affect the action. If it does I'll hang it. It was not done in vain though as I always need practice in painting and epoxy and wiring when it comes to darters and getting them done without wreaking them along the way. You have to do some fun stuff or it will get boring and practicing the techniques helps. Most of the time I swim something before I go to this extent but I know the design is good but will the alterations make a difference. We'll see.

Yes kind of. I tried to copy an original Musso, Pichney, yellow color they seemed to use back then. I like the color and found I had to mix some stuff together. Don't ask me what because I did not write it down. I just kept mixing and putting it up against an original darter I have. Came pretty close

You've got to love it when everything about a plug just looks right, like you wouldn't change a thing. When you see that across a dozen styles it's remarkable...

Aw shucks . Thanks guys. Your great for my ego.
I also made all the lips for those plugs. I tied most of the tails today for the ones that needed them.

Awesome pile of plugs. Simple, beautiful colors and styles. Workhorses that are also works of art. It's stuff like this that keeps me wanting to build plugs. Great stuff Paul.

Paul awesome work, as usual. I too like that old school yellow. If your brain can remember the formulation or something close chime back in.
