Sweet work, like the bucktail too.
Beautiful Work. How long do they take to make? You have to show us some Pictures of fish caught with them Next year.
It Takes me one day to make a lure …more for dry time ,all done on a belt sander.
I will …..I have some many lures I hard to find time to throwthem all. Most of the time I lose them. I lost 7 lures in one day due to power pro “mysterious line breakage” that’s why I don’t spend a lot of time to make them look perfect. I want them to swim right and be strong.
I do a lot of blue fishing in the spring. By my house are some nice spots. I’m run down any chance I get.
nice clean work.
Wow very cool, I bet it wiggles like an eel!
Madcaster, Vpass and I were talking about this. It's quite possible you have a minor stress crack in one of the top guides on your rod. Take a look with a magnifying glass, or better yet, run a q-tip slowly along the inside portions of each guide, starting with the top one. I'll bet you will find a cracked guide. Get that fixed and you'll lose less plugs.
And if you're looking for a diffferent kind of braid, I can recommend Berkeley Fireline, 20lb, avail at many big box stores like WM, or tackle shops near you....Fin turned me on to it, and I've never looked back.
You couldn't give me PP for free, I won't us it anymore...not because of line breakage, but because I fish harsh conditions at night, and got tired of the wind knots. This rarely happens with Fireline, which makes for a less stressful fishing experience overall...
Try that Q-tip trick, let us know what happens...
Some more info for ya....

Nice! you should give it a name like the madcaster striper slayer swimmer, lol.
Or the mad caster special.
Is it harder to make a jointed plug that is through wired? You have to get it centered just right in 2 places, that looks like it takes a lot of skill?
Nice effort, madcaster.
Good rip action too as the tide slows down.
They look nice. Do you fish them when the smaller bass are here or just for bigger ones?
Nice work MC.
