I hope everyone is signing their plugs. I'd like to see your names on your works of art:)

Recently I received my decals for my rods. They can also be applyed on plugs;)

Decal connection set me a sample sheet of different sizes in the name I had requested....I can send you my sample if you'ld like to check them out. They can also decal your signature;)

This is just one of the many fonts and colors, of course. Mine is in metallic gold 18#.... exact size "boat name";)

i like to hide my initials in the mack stripes:)

Goose that guy was a good find? How quick do they come and what was the cost?

names go for $2.10 apeice or you can a sheet with 64 names for $23.75 .......Again, customer service was out standing.


after taking a better look I got #14, not #18.....smaller lettering can do smaller diameter blanks as well as larger ones.

hey specialist, i finally got those fostner bits, they work great!
my dad picked up a box of 5 of em for $9 at wood workers warehouse. normally $25. envirotexing soon after the ones on the rack are done spinning.

Got a box of Bernzy Needles yesterday. Abigail likes them and was pretending to be a bluefish.......

You can't see it in the pic, but there's a stripe of pink pearl down the middle between the yellow and the white.
They will need 2- 3/0 trebles.

sweet Bubba, so I can have the original Back now, and can loan You the plug we talked about Or I can dupe it and make an exact copy blank for Ye.
The poppers are painted Bubba.
thay are pearl wonders:)

I will epoxy them soon

`````````````````````````````````````````````````` `

You bring the plug we talked about, and I will make template, then you can have both that one and the Heddon back bubba.
But you need to bring ya airbrushes too.

I know Bubba, I was shootin for sunday, I got to hook up with Bill
cuz Im nuts:smash:

Nice plugs Slip wow. :claps:

BM sunday 5pm Braintree, I will talk to you later.

K ,Bill
here is where I am right now.I was going to drill eyes, But painted them:smash: so now stick ons under epoxy, still look good, I do it on Mine any way....

Just painted Blue pearl over Silver pearl. Pics don't do the colors justice. I borrowed the paint scheme from Eel Punt.

Ed if we are all making 11 plugs, then there will be 2 sets left for John right? If there are how about we hold one set for the year long tourney.

My plan is to give them to John for him to use the best way he sees fit to support the site. I would imagine he'll raffle at least one set.

Some for the tourneys would be nice too.

just waiting for eyes to come in and then they are donehttp://[IMG]Dcp-0306[/IMG]

doing epoxy

eyes? who said eyes?

Found a nice box of flaptails on the counter whne I got home last night :jump:

Going to wire the plugs hope today or tomorrow.
not happy with My epoxy:smash: But they still look good.
You Guys with heat are lucky:smash:
I will post a pick.
How many did I need to send 39?

BM, send me 36, we'll use 11 for the swap and I'll HO' the rest.........

Haven't heard or seen anything from Breezy Kid, so you may end up getting one of your own back. We'll see after I get everything from everyone.

10/4 I lost Your addy and when U need them PM, so pm Me again Fish, If Ya dont mind;)

the plugs are done and will be going in mail tomorrow.
If one guy is out there is a plug in there with sparkles on the tail.
I mashed a little to hard and put some small cracks in the tail.
no worry epoxy and coverd with glitter. it works and stops crack.
I feel My finish could Be better, But I always get down on Me.
the plug sit very nice in water and 2/0 or 3/0 trebles should Be used on them.
they will spay like a skunk.
will stuff a few clams in there for mail :)
now on to finishing surfsters for the other site. there sweet to.
