my first thru wired plugs...

Happy new years guys!

Here's a few needles that I turned last year that I finally finished. I did not know how to thru wire last year so I put these on hold for a while. These will be getting hooks and going for a test swim after work tonight.

They are 8" long and probably around 2 1/2 oz to 3 oz. I still need to find a good scale for weighing them...

I've learned a lot from the Building forum here, and I'd like to give a big thanks to MAC who has answered a lot of my questions and showed me a few of his tricks!

Nice needles!

Make some in BLACK..... You'll know why when you fish them!
Are these sinkers or floaters?
