Welcome to S-B a great New Sponsor!
Labrador1 a/k/a RM Smith Plugs is the newest sponsor here on Striped-Bass.com. Many of you know him and know his plugs and that they have a few things going for them: They Swim, They Catch, They look good, and they tend to get "lifted" from your plug bag by sand sissys on the Cape  (OK, so BM stole one out of my bag last fall)... I caught on a few of these last fall - very nice plugs (and did I mention available at some S-B sponsors too  ?)
Anyway, most of you know the great stuff Ryan builds, seems to be tradition in his family to go a little beyond the norm with craftsmanship. So please welcome RM Smith Plugs as a Sponsor here at S-B...
Labrador1 - please post some pics 
Thanks!

Hmm....I think I have some Ryan pixs laying around here some place, now where were they?
Oh...yes Smith, Ryan.....plug builder...here..
Some of Ryan's Big Eye Swimmers: Pogie, Herring, etc
Big Eye Swimmer, Yellow Scale 2oz - hugely popular!
Check out the detail around the eye....
"Nightshade" pattern - I had some, for about a day, earlier this week....
Ryan is the real deal, an uncompromising craftsman - even in the face of huge demand, he does not cut corners. |

 Awesome! |

Congrats on your sponsorship Ryan, boy you weren't kidding when you told me last night that any minute you'd be a new sponsor on S-B |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and for the kind words about my plugs! I would particularly like to thank John for the opportunity to be a sponsor. Many of my plugs go to site sponsors particularly Surfcasting Rhode Island and recently to Cape Cod Tackle - and a few have gone to some other shops. Those retailers will continue to be the main source for my plugs but I will utilize the sponsor's special section of this site to offer some of my jointed plugs or other items that I only run in small batches.
Thanks again for the warm welcome - feel free to contact me with questions anytime! Oh yes - and since you asked about pictures, I'll attach a weakfish plug - just to show you what I do when I've got too much time on my hands.
Ryan
