I was just thinking the same thing Capesams! I got one I need Slingah to come take a photo of to post......and a batch being painted tomorrow! It will be a melange' of jointed swimmers (yes jointed swimmers) metal lipped swimmers, Surf Howdy clones and Master Lure clones! Lots of different swimmers though! Will post asap!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

smoke s like a bastage.. probably using the wrong bit to start off.. but i did not have much with me yseterday..

i held them by hand and started the pilot holes.. i'll bring my long bit back with me and hook that up to the chuck i have to go with the jet..

i think i am going to get the extension bed for the lathe..

14" is not enough to thru drill some needles.. .so i have found.

A few just off the drying rack. All AYC and thru-wired. Poppers are 1 1/4 oz and weighed so they'll walk real nice Swimmers are a tad over 1 oz. Nice wiggle to those and they dig 2-4 feet.

Between plug making sessions

That style of popper was my best producer during my Cape trip. The jointed, in black, took my first surf striper

Now why would you want to ruin a perfectly good sunday by throwing a pineapple on top Loose the pineapple and add more fudge
