Lost a few weeks due to health issues but back home and working on some stuff

Way too many plugs in various stages to even think about anything new......but started on some freshwater swimbaits similar to an a ms slammer or pats.

Did a few in 2015, and was happy but these will be better

3 piece 8.5" baits using an atom 40 as the design, lexan lip.

The sections will be V notched

Biggest difference is they will be thru wired and swivels instead of screw eyes

Doing a few variations on the tails. Some will have a Ron Z tail (think snake or rat) some will get notched to except a soft tail (slammer style or paddle tail cut off a big shad) and some will get a hard tail (joe Adams woodtail style) probably use the same lexan and cut it tail style.

Lots of sanding and painting this week coming up

Cleaning out the garage asap too! What a mess, hate working like that

Need to get some stuff done before the big fish show up

Glad you're on the mend and getting back in the swing. Hopefully before the next building season to build a spray booth. VENT WORKS has plans for a nice one with an out of air stream Dayton fan motor. Not explosion proof but like to shoot primer. Looking to pick up some 6/4 ayc & eastern white cedar. Looking for it in rough if price is right. I have the resources to mill in shop. I have to check with Liberty, but not yet.
