Dad Fisherman, I don't know who makes them. They are probably made in China by some knock off company. I may order a few extra needles from them just in case they aren't around long. Here's a...

Somthing new with my new brush

Picked up a new brush on Fleabay and had to attempt some detail work. The brush is called an Air Pro PS905, and so far I think it's a bargain at $40.

Sorry Saltydog, they've already been Ho'ed by a couple friends at work. They were kinda fun to do, so I may make some more now that I have an idea how to do them. Thanks all for the nice comments.

Some Dannies

Well, I couldn't make it to Plugfest, so I spent the weekend finishing these. The tail hooks on the green/yellow ones are temporary until I get a green deer tail. I tried yellow/white, and white...

Thanks for the comments guys. I guess they are cut similar to a nike. I made a few of those last year. Maybe that shape was in subconscious mind when I made these! I'll keep that in mind if I...

Back at it - Poppers

Didn't do much this winter but started looking at the plug forums again and had to go turn a few. These are 6" poppers.

Thanks for the comments. The eyes are just done with a Dremel and the tubular sanding disks. I think the stencils are made for fingernails. I picked up a pack with a coupon at Michaels or A.C....

Fun with Stencils

I mark my lures with a little stenciled blue crab. I think I let it get a little out of hand! The yellow crabs don't show up too well on the photo of the wonder-crab lure.

Yet another E-Tex question

Some (OK, most) of the plugs I E-texed are not very smooth, and I'd like to add a second coat. Is it best to sand them smooth before adding the second coat?

Thanks

Thanks for the darter tips. Like I said, I have never made them or fished them, so I'll take all pointers I can get. These are weighted between the hooks, but I didn't add a lot of weight. Based...

Alice Cooper Eyes!

I bought some Wildlife Colors flip-flop paint from Van Dykes Taxidermy Supply and gave them a try on a couple poppers. The colors were blue-green and green-gold. The flip flop effect is apparent,...

Thanks for all the nice comments. The plugs are 6.5 inches long and weigh 2 oz without hooks. I haven't fished them yet, so all bets are off on how well they perform. I think I may add more weight...

Very nice. How do you do that sculpting? It that just epoxy? Do you do a normal tail loop and epoxy over it?
