3. Capesams Weasel reproductions!!!! Really CS??? AMAZING!!! Absolutely some of the most beautiful plugs I have ever seen!!! INSANE!!!

Numbskulls plug bags were works of art, really nice stuff.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

Thumbs up

Thanks to all, Slip, you've started a revolution. John, you gave it a place to grow. Bless you both.
George, thanks for taking time with Jenn explaining the finer points of surfbag building. Many, many small details that make a difference came to light. Jenn has a degree in textile design and has been sewing, spinning and weaving for as long as I've known her, thanks to you Numby she walked away from PlugFest having learned something, ThankYou!

the plugs that Steve, Capesams, displayed were so over the top. Really I can't tell you how perfect those things were. Meticulous doesn't even come close to describing them. Someone had to have taken some pictures of them, I forgot I even had my camera and now regret not taking some pics of those.

Lawrence's stuff is right there with Steve's stuff for sheer beauty too

It was nice to see Mr. Bassmaster again, even if he tried to pocket half my stuff and like usual he came without his plugs and tried to ho them off everyone else.. Get back to work Dave, miss seeing your stuff.

As usual Joe, Rockfish, was his usual helping self with all his display's and tireless helpful advise to anyone who asked. A real credit to the craft.

Thanks to Mike and family for the supplies.

There was just so much great camaraderie there. Everyone did such a great job. Great meeting several people for the first time finally after talking at them on the computer for years. Wish I could have spent more time talking to others, just not enough time.

lol. I met Eric at the fly show after and we shot the breeze for an hour. Lot of laughs. He was smart this year and stayed over in beautiful Taunton.

I forgot to say Lowers jointed baitfish was awesome to see in person, great job.
