Interested, ah let me think about that..... OKAY!

Whats up how goes the lead, and did you finish your kitchen yet?

I just finish a pencil popper, I have all four weighted, and primed. I am going to paint them tomorrow. Then finish them up in a week or two. I still need to get eyes, wire, grommets, swivels, and hooks.

Specialist, if you get 0.41" wire or there abouts, I have plenty of 1/8" grommets that will work with that size wire. I can't get double 1/16" welding wire to go thru it but the thinner wire will work.

Slip I am working on Monday, there is a welding shop or two near me, will check it out. Would you be able to spare some eyes ? I will give you a buzz if I get the wire.

Mr. Pogie it deffinately is more fun. Now I just need to get a hold of a bottle plug that has the right action I have a Danny style swimmer to copy later also.

Kitchen is done except for the flor which is behind because my furnace went! You sure you want to buy a house? I'll be pouring heavy soon if you need lead let me know and I'll save you some wood. Still looking for a skin-jig mold but have some ideas and will come up with something. Are you making your plugs at your house?

SLIP, And where did you find them,

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

I was unable to find any wire today all the places (I tried were close or did not have any. I will try on wednesday, unless someone else online is selling components. Do you think .050 would be ok or should we go smaller?
