Topwater stuff is a mismatch of stuff I have been messing around with. The macs are something I try alot and mess up a lot. Can't seem to find something I like paint wise. The small bone pencil is 1 oz and I made a bunch of them. I like them a lot.









those peanut things are awesome!!! I want one!!

boatless................can I have a ride?

I agree the whole shop smells like Christmas. This came from a tree I took down at my in laws down the cape. 40th anniversary coming up I am making them a bunch of stuff out of the logs. Got the final piece on the face plate now going to leave them on the counter at the cape house.

Bummed not getting to do any plugs this winter. Bought a house and it's keeping me far to busy. Hopefully for next winter I'll have my new shop all set up and get to it again. Some, seriously nice work being done on here.

Wow, nice work from many builders. Plugs and non-plugs alike!

I finally took a couple pics of what I have been up to lately. Some more of the slider/jerkbait type of plugs I like to make and fish in different sizes as well as some needles and some new swimmers I have been working on. There is a bunch of other stuff I did not get pics of yet.

A couple mahogany needles in mackerel and purple scale and a slow sinking slider. All right around 6" (pic is a bit distorted)


3 of my new swimmers. They are 5.5" and swim just subsurface to around 4 feet depending on retrieve speed. 2 macks still need epoxy.


A box of assorted stuff. HEAVY maple macks, herring and yellow sliders, blurple jointed etc.

And more...

2 heavy, fast sink maple mackerel sliders built for friends for the canal.


Assorted small stuff from 3.5 to around 7". All slow sinking.


And 1 pic of some of the collaboration work I have been doing with GooGoo Man. My mack paint on some of his fantastic slim pikies and super jr's. I also did some redfin style swimmers and nikes for him which I can't wait to see epoxy on.

Thanks. No, they are handcarved like most everything else I do, even the needles. I do not own a lathe. The only turned plugs I have been working on are the swimmers that Glen (GooGoo Man) has turned for me using my template/prototype.

Nice stuff, JMAC and Hookset!
I have just put five on the spinner with epoxy, and sealed another ten today. But with only nine days to go, it's awfully quiet in here......
