Freshwater plugs

Anybody make freshwater plugs? I made a few for Christmas presents. Couldn't find any small stainless screw eyes so I thru-wired them with .035. tig rod.

dimensions

I'm having trouble visualizing the overall size of these guys. Can you give some general lengths and diameters? They are sweet plugs! I know right where to use some done like tehm up in the Adirondacks next summer when I go on vacation!

Nice work, I have a small collection of old wooden freshwater plugs that I would like to duplicate so I can try fishing them, without loosing an antique. I've wondered if enough people would like to participate in a tourney with just antique style plugs/lures allowed.

Life is like a poop sandwich, the more bread you've got, the less poop you taste.
