couple quickies

I threw these together last nite as I am going out tomorrow along the Elizabeth Islands on a members boat. I was so lazy that I didn't even paint them it is just primer and a quick 30 min epoxy job. Stuff works great in a pinch. I am more interested in the action, although I figured that out with the protos so I am kind of confident they should swim great. I built and primed these things in the spring but never got around to finishing them. Med. goo goo has belly and tail weight and swims really nice up high in the water with the flatish lip. Really very happy with the results by adding the weight as the originals were unweighted. Without the flat lip, the original lip used, the plug goes deep but the flat lip really does a fantastic job at making a really nice top of the water column swimmer. The Gibbs is an exact copy. A smallish GTS. I made the lip, you need too, and this plug has one of the most realistic swimming action of any plug I have ever swam. I couldn't wait to copy this one. Thanks VB. The popper is one of my shapes, although similar to many I have seen. I hope they catch something. I'll spend more time on the rest, paint wise, later this winter.
