[DarkSkies]

Alright step on up one and all!

You're about to see the greatest show on Earth! :kooky:

Rip-plugger's 2010 lineup! :lookhappy:

[DarkSkies]

He's been sending me pics, and I'm behind in posting. So I started this thread, hopefully I'll be able to do a few at a time with the descriptions.

Monty, if you have any new ones from him, feel free to put it here.
Or you can still post in the other thread, wherever you want to put em. It's all good.

I just needed someplace to post some of those pics that are building up. :thumbsup:

I'm finishing up a R-P gold Horse Bunker this weekend. Will post a pic then. The holographic silver glitter R-P has been using on the recent plugs is awesome. The pictures don't do them justice. The finish reflects the colors big time, really nice work. I did up a yellow/gray one with that glitter and still cannot believe it came out so good (I am the opposite of artsie).
R-P, Great looking Plugs!!!

Hi Speedy,

I am sure it will catch,it will get their attention from 500 feet away with the ruckus it makes.
every so often I come up with some oddball idea and do it up.
I have 1 odd one that is a tadpole jointed and it "knocks"as it swims right on top.

Hi Dark,

the 3 in this pic are not such monsters,well in my book anyway.
these are actually small in diameter than some might think.the dowel was just 1-1/2 inch diameter at the start.
they are about 1-1/4 now.
as for weight,the top one is no more than 3 oz and prolly under that.
the others are not more than 2.5 oz at best.
the monsters are those like the super Chubb,that thing is 6 oz plus I'd say.

My X-100 jointeds are 16 inches and 8 oz with the smaller one at 7 oz.
some guys I know well and fish with every so often say I am crazy fishing with such large wood.
I say no,I am only trying to tempt that huge cowfish that almost all of our plugs pass by but don't make her attack.
when she sees/hears one of my monsters just swagger by,she will either make her move or move outta the way!

just my take on it,,,,
thanks for the kind words guys/gals.
