[Rip-Plugger]

this is a stubby type based on my fat mullet design,it has a very wide profile from below.
I figger it will move a lot of water on top and make a huge wake as I crank it slow,waggling on top,will see.

I did something rather odd with this one.
it does look as though it is a 3 hook plug but,I added a middle hanger to eliminate the dead space between the tail hook and front hook.
the front hook will be a 4/0,the tail will be either a 3/0 treble dressed or a single dressed.then to close off the dead space between them,I will add a 2/0 treble as a stinger hook to possibly hook those fish that take a stab at that area of the plug.

I know it sounds crazy but, I believe it will work.
will see.

Trolling fatcat.yellow/red bottom.
I made this for a friend that trolls around the block island area,he is a trolling freak and has some big girls under his belt,I hope this one will add more to it.
I raked back the lip angle to give it a deeper dive,hope it works.

this one gave me fits while epoxy coating it.
the epoxy was 30 minute devcon and it began setting up after about 3 minutes,I was forced to use the fire from the stove to save it from setting up hard,it did work as the extra heat made the epoxy thinner and that gave me the extra time to get it covered right.

not a new plug but, new paint on a very old plug.this plug is from 1981.
a real Leo cooper goo-goo eyes swimmer,not the big daddy but, the smaller one,I forget the name right now.
came out good despite the pock marks from big gators from way back then.
I added some silver dust[courtesy of WWM] to the epoxy to give it some sparkle.
