Finished up some
I gathered some of the plugs I have finished recently for a couple photos. I will be bringing most of these with me to PlugFest but I am holding out on revealing some others I will bring. For now at least.
A school of peanut bunker ranging from 3.5 - 4" body length. This batch floats just under the surface at rest but I am making some slow sinkers now.
Some slow sinking jerk bait/glider type plugs. Herrings are 5.5" and the mackerel is 7".
A bunch of small sandeels I have done very well with in the past. They are 4.5" and sink level at a medium rate. (a belly hook was not helping the action of these small needles in testing and bass were able to suck the whole thing in anyway so... .hehe)

a few more
A few dark plugs with eyes made from a plastic material (I got and cut at work) called "solar flare". Stuff is like a color changing mirror.
I dont handcarve many large plugs but these I did do a couple big spooks. These have 7" bodies the needle and peanut are the same size as the others I posted.
One of my first freshwater plugs. Always wanted to try a bluegill. Not epoxied yet.
And one more peanut that did not make the first pic.
Hope you guys like and I can't wait for Plug Fest.

Swish. They look wicked, dude. Wish I had a few of those peanuts on multiple occasions this season...

As a new plug builder all I have to say is you have got to be kidding me. They are amazing. Well done.
