[xtreme_visions]

[stripermania]

:bigeyes:You should go to the asbury show in March. Plug-a-plooza!

[gjb1969]

i second asbury

[storminsteve]

Speedy,Surfstix, Madcaster and JustEd make some cool plugs but I don't know if they are selling them. Ask them- it doesn't hurt to try.

[jigfreak]

I think that guy ripplugger was selling some of his too, if you want big wood for the bunker appearances. Also Asbury is the bomb, if you have never been there dont miss it this year. A lot of the greats are no longer there, Gary2, Lefty, BillyMcfadden. It won't seem the same without them. Still, it's a killer show and the best around. first week of March.

[xtreme_visions]

thanks guys..i am in north jersey if anyone knows of any in this area coming up also. i do plan on attending surf day 2012 and any other shows coming up in NJ so a heads up on the best 1's will be greatly appreciated

[skinner]

ASbury is the show of all shows, be there.

[xtreme_visions]

i read online the lines to get in are super long. is the show limited to how many they let in? i sure as hell aint camping out like its black friday for some lures lol

[storminsteve]

No not that bad dude. Ever since Gary Hull and Lefty passed away, the hype is out of the balloon. I don't think last year anyone even waited overnight. You should be able to get what you want no prob.

[gjb1969]

trust us u will get in its not that bad

[surfstix1963]

Ask away as far as colors you can't go wrong with yellow,white,black and chartreuse the old stand by colors I have been messing with different color schemes but I have not fished in 2 years so I don't know how it will work out yet most of the plugs are posted here in the plug building forum.They are kits I buy and build so that takes the lathe out of the picture for me for now but all the other steps are still needed sanding,sealing,priming,dry fitting all the parts,learning the tail loop(that sucked for me but I'm pretty sure I have it down)painting either spray or airbrush etc.I myself do not sell them I don't believe Speedy sells his you need to ask they are nice and built well I am fortunate enough to have some :d:d Rip plugger does sell his sometimes these are big heavy plugs designed by him he is in CT. though.Just Ed makes awesome needles and swimmers don't know if he sells them if he does I want some:d:d

Speedy,Surfstix, Madcaster and JustEd make some cool plugs but I don't know if they are selling them. Ask them- it doesn't hurt to try.I believe mad caster is selling them under the name mh4. needle fish and poppers. there should be a few threads here if you do a search

[striperhunter]

If you throw a lot plugs ? DMag plugs are the best . Hand made wood plugs and stand up to test of time.

[porgy75]

^^^^ Just wondering what is about dmags that makes them so great? Havent seen any so I was curious. Got pics?

[madcaster]

I started putting my needles on my web site $17 plus shipping ...http://www.mh4designs.com .....mine are hand built ....I seal everything....salt water will kill any plug paint job ....

[striperhunter]

Look on Striper online web site and look at Dmag plugs and berekely flea market page 1 and you will see his plugs.

APP did an article on him. Thought it was interesting.

Atom Stasher
Written by John Oswald @oswaldapp

The Atom Striper Swiper was my version of the Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Range Model Air Rifle
? much desired, but forever out of reach.

Back in the day when I whined incessantly for one, they were a luxury item, about $5 apiece. That kind of
expenditure would mean a meatless week for my family. While my father had one, he knew better than to
invest such a sum in a lure that most certainly would be snapped off on a first cast or permanently stuck
on a Sea Bright jetty.

My surf skills were too untested for me to be trusted with such a plug. Suspecting larceny in my heart, he
kept his hidden away.
?Next year,? was the familiar refrain.

Paul Lindner, the builder of Cyclone Lures, also came from a family that prized the plugs, created by Bob
Pond of Attleboro, Massachusetts. ?My father and grandfather both fished with them,? said Lindner at
home last Monday. There he has collected more than 250 of the classic lures, most in their original
packaging.

Lindner, who is no slouch himself when it comes to crafting quality lures, already had an impressive
collection of Atom Lures when he became serious about it eight years ago. When I asked him exactly how
many lures he had, he replied that if you asked his wife, the answer would be too many. He said he didn?t
have enough.

Atom Lures hold a special place in the hearts of saltwater fishermen everywhere. Everybody fished them.
The story of the lure?s beginnings goes that Pond was fishing the Cape Cod Canal when he noticed a
fellow fisherman was landing big stripers while he was having no success. The bass were feeding on top
and the prevailing wisdom of the day was that they couldn?t be caught when that was happening. Yet this
one angler was having no trouble hooking trophy fish.

Pond was back at the canal when he came upon a beat up old lure that he guessed had been lost or
discarded by the other angler who was catching the big bass. Pond gave it a try and had similar success.
Working with wood and materials he had around his house, Pond created the first versions of his now
famous plug. This being the dawn of the nuclear age, Pond named his new company Atom Lures.
He first started selling his swimmers wrapped in newspapers to fellow anglers along the canal. Then they
became available to the general public in 1945. Atom Lures sold in stores from $1.50 to $2.25, a princely
sum at the time.

They were also available through the postal service in their own mailing boxes. The Striper Atom 40s
came in three colors: herring blue, whiting gold and silver and blue.

The plugs quickly caught on with saltwater fishermen not only because they caught fish, but also for their durability. They could withstand the beating delivered by the fish and the weather.

Lindner said it?s so hard to find lures in good condition now because guys fished them. ?They?re a lot of
Atoms around, but not in the best of shape,? he said.

What's the buzz on the new resin darters that are larger versions of the mag-Ds. Anyone catch big fish on them yet? Think they're worth it? thanks

[basshunter]

I think they're like $40 bucks. Don't know much else about them. lots of moolah for a piece of plastic. Northbar bottle darters are only about $25, so it's a substantial difference.

[Blazin420]

They are wood not plastic and I got 2 at Berkeley I'll let ya know how they are when I fish them...Don't normally drop that kind of dough on plugs but these look sweet and swim real nice...The Mag D is my go to latley so this being and inch bigger will be a nice addition to the bag...

[baitstealer]

Just found this again. Great read gents thanks.
