It's About the Plug

[numbskull]

We need a thread to show and tell, credit other builders, and brag a bit about your own stuff. If you get a decent fish on your own or someone else's plug, lets see it. We all learn and it keeps the juices flowing. At the end of the season I'll do a random drawing of anyone (other than me) who posts a fish and give away some plugs.

I'll go first. Traded Paul (Prof M) for this sweet little swimmer (sort of a Beachmaster schoolie style). Fished it for 2 weeks now with hardly a sniff from small fish. Looked so good I stuck with it. Tonight was my reward. 3 fish @15-18# (on a Arra 1083 ). Thanks Paul, you got robbed :heybaby:

I got two bass two nights ago on my 5"needle. No big deal but exciting for me being a new builder.

George, I think This threads a great idea...

Here's a picture of a nice fish my dad got last night. We only get to fish together about 10-15 nights a year so we hit it pretty hard when we get the chance. We covered a lot of ground the past 2nights, falmouth to plymouth. We ran into Cranium at one spot this am.

My dad's goto plug for a lot of years has been the needlefish, so last night I threw one I made for him in the bag even though we intended to fish swimmers at night and pencils/poppers at dawn. And you know that one needlefish plug is the only one we could could get them to hit consistantly.

This fish was a 22 lb racer, big head & no gut... The needle took a pretty good beating, it was new yesterday. I'm psyched I had the camera, and even more amazing is the picture actually came out good considering it was 2am ish and we were out in the water...

 

[johnny ducketts]

That's awesome, DJ.. I finished those ones you gave me at plugfest, now I can't wait to see what they catch.:btu:

Mono...

 

[Diggin Jiggin]

Chris, that sucks. I thought that having a siwash on the tail would prevent them from leveraging the belly hook against the tail hook.
I've done that on plugs with 2 trebles but never on one with a siwash on the tail.

 

[Cranium]

Nice fish and Prof M great plug, nice to see a plug where it belongs


DJ good to see you and meet your dad. Nothing much went on after you left. couple of schoolies. like the needle.

 

[numbskull]

Feelin' good, lookin' stupid. Best shore fish for me in several years. 33lbs. Lg Donny Pine. Swims down about 3ft. Good rough water plug it seems.
