Nice plugs did you ever try to make needlefish or just like making those fat boys?

thanks for the kind words.
I never tried to make one before and to tell you the truth,no one uses them around my parts.mostly either bait dunkers or pencil popping guys,I am one of the very few large swimmer guys around here.

looking sharp Monty,I am going to make a plug builder out of you soon enough,,,I thought it would have been so by now but,I guess I need to work on you more.
you obviously have the talent to finish them and build them,all that's needed is for you to create your own designs or modifly existing designs from a block and then you will be one of us!
good work!

[Rip-Plugger]

A big thank you to Roddy (Rip-Plugger).
He sends me a plug I get yesterday (great surprise), it gets me my largest blue of the year so far this morning (~32 inches).
Swims great.

Have caught a few bass with the loaded Red Fins ones I painted this past year, always more fun to catch with something you messed around with.
