    Very nice work, surfstix. They look like they will catch fish.

    Nice metal lip surf. Who built the pocket rocket? That should cast like a missile.

    That would be my concern as well. Getting the tail wrap to look nice and neat. That's why I haven't tried building plugs yet. You guys make it look easy, but IMO there is a long learning curve. Speedy does nice work. Sweet color on the danny too.

    I enjoy the kits you get everything you need to build them except for hooks and split rings, if you use them it also gets you through the basics I don't have the $$ to be running out to buy a lathe,drill press and sanders nor the back to stand around doing it right now maybe in the future, when I do things for real I like to do them right and all the tools help.Thanks to all.

    Nice work guys, Speedy I hope it didn't take 37 hours for you to make that plug!
    Just kidding, they look good, hope they can catch some fish.

    Get yer stories straight Bababooey!
    I'm the birdman, Speedy's the bird slayer.
    I take the pics, and he shoots em dead.
    It's a little different for the bird, most of the ones he runs across end up with lead on the brain, and on the dinner plate.

    He does make some nice plugs for a googan, though.
    Nice work too, Surfstix, love that purple.
