Might be interesting to see what happens over under that light with the current running West and the wind puffing from the North West.
Towed deep on wire!

Just a test! Like about 0100 Saturday morning!

Oh the light theory..... , I hope this new clear coat holds up, and that these plugs swim as well as the first ones.

Chet that sounds interesting, we will talk.

Sams I am using the Minwax on the Polaris poppers, some small poppers, and the beachie swimmers. I am trying the Wst System epoxy, with slow hardner on the pikies. We all gotta figure out a good topcoating solution soon, one that is not too labor intensive, this is getting expensive

Here are some I dipped in the minwax the pic does'nt show off the finish well. I smashed the needle off of the cast iron table on the drill press a couple of times. No cracks or chips, just a couple of dents.

SPEC"S

couse its getting expensive, your beeten the plugs to death b/fore u's are getting to use them. I think everyone is trying to hard to make the plugs last forever, well theres lots o plugs out there w/no paint on them an they still catch fish. I think WE are the 1's that want to make them look purty. AS long as the plugs are waterproof on the inside they will hold up ok. IF u still have them at the end of the season u can always repaint.

You know what your right lifes too short. Lets just fish em.

Saltheart I think you are right about the pink. John and I were talking and we thought we would try to go with a rusty pink color. But I think ho pink would be better.
