Latest batch

Hi Team,

Here's the latest six. Comprised of an old bannister, rattle can colors and NJ Tackle parts. Will test in the fresh soon.

Those look great Chuck! Let us know how they swim.

Thanks, all.

It's funny ... each of these has an imperfection of one kind or other. On one, the eyes are asymmetrical; one another, there's a small bald spot where I missed some epoxy; etc.

BUT: They are so goddamned fun to make. Each has character, too. AND: They will definitely produce. If not, then they'll go immediately to the bottom, snag some seaweed, and that's the end of that. But I did have some good luck with my first batch. They were all black, two Atom Jr.s, a needle and a danny. Zee fish found the Atom Jr.s to be the tastiest of the bunch, catching fish in multiple places.

Lots of good inspiration on this forum. I think it's the best one at S-B. The thread of catches with homemade plugs rules. Keep up the good work, all.

Peace.
