BigFish Striper Candy Finished!
 
Its been a long wait and I am sorry for taking so long, hopefully it will have been worth the wait. Slingah will post the pictures of my first batch of plugs sometime today. Kind of a big first batch (22 plugs) a mix of needlefish, pencil poppers (I call them "Fatboys" because of their wide profile) and 4 poppers that I mimicked from the old Gibbs v-cut mouthed poppers from yesteryear.:D I just want to thank many of you for your input and tutoring through this process. When I had a question or problem, you were there with an answer or suggestion and because of you all and the wealth of information on this forum, I do believe I did you all proud because without your help, the results would not have been as good as I hope they are. Now I just gotta catch fish on them.....that will be sweet!:happy: So once they are posted, I hope you enjoy!:btu:

I was nealry speechless on the quality of these FIRST RUN ever plugs Larry made. Absolutely impressed and I doubt I could make them look that good after 5 years of trying!

Nice job Big Fish :kewl:

Nice plugs BigFish :btu:
It's about time you shared them with the rest of us.
Now get some fish slime on them when you get done wiping the fishermans' drool off them.:smash:

justplugit 06-24-2004 08:09 PM

Whoa ,Big Fish ,Whoa-- They are awesome and worth the wait:kewl::bounce:
I think i remember your first comment when you were going to build was "I can make them and save $ over buying them"
How did that work?:bgi: :bl:

BigFish 06-24-2004 09:03 PM

I figure with what I got into this new hobby, if I was gonna break even by sellin' them I would have to get about $90.00 apiece!:laugha: I really do enjoy making them though, it is very worthwhile. Now I just gonna hammer fish on them.....I will let you know how that goes as I am gonna take them out this weekend for a long swim down the backside!;) Thanks again for the kind words, it means alot....you all had alot to do with how well they came out as I had alot to live up to!:D

justplugit 06-24-2004 09:08 PM

Ya,just don't keep us as long in letting us know how they fish as you did posting the pics:D Hope you catch big.:)

Diamond Tackle 06-24-2004 10:33 PM

Holy Cow !!. Those are absolutely amazing Larry. I am speechless. You really did your homework, and it shows.
Good luck with them, I am sure you will do quite well this year.
