nothing over the top...

As a newcomer to plug building, I'm interested in a variety of plug shapes and purposes. So I made some for friends on the East coast to try out and give me some feedback. Different poppers, a chugger, a Frech style diver and needles of various sizes based on Habs/Gibbs designs. On my friends advice, blurple and white with red chins were the basic color patterns. I'm hoping that some of these same styles may work here in Hawaii along shore and at the buoys...

Nice work. Wicked nice poppers!!
