Hi Guys

I've been lurking around for a while and shamelessly stealing all your awesome ideas . I'd like to say thank you and that you guys do killer work. So much so that I feel inspired and discouraged at the same time when I look at some of the stuff your making.
I used to make small balsa cranks years ago and also made spinnerbaits, jigs, lots of fly tying, all freshwater stuff. I don't know much about saltwater luremaking outside of the flies I've been making and fishing with meager success since moving to the eastcoast 5 years ago.
I don't have any practical reason for making saltwater plugs other than the fact that I recently inherited a lathe, and I seem to have some sort of illness.
So here is a my first attempts at saltwater plug making.
7" 2.5ounce swimmers. I know the paint kinda sucks and the top coat already failed on the purple one( banged it off the tub while testing) but the action seems good and they were fun to make.
What do the experts think?
