Needles and Pencils
 
3 Attachment(s)
here are a few more of my winter plugs.. With the warm weather forecast i have been thinking about fishing this afternoon...

I like to use needles up at Cranes' beach in may/June.. esp the smaller ones like these white and yellow ones.

The pencils are medium and small in my favorite pencil colors... ivory and white with some sparkle I like the Afterhours pencil design and sometimes add a flat bottom but not on this batch..

I have know learned not to put too thick of an etex coating or you run into problems like the white pencil with the pink lateral ine.. blotchy/uneven thickness due to uneven curing.. thinner/even coat is better in my hands

Really like those pencils. Got the same Afterhours version and I like it so much I stopped using it for fear of losing it before I could copy it (sorry Don ;) ). One more thing to do before spring.

Thanks guys.. I got those small eyes at janns netcraft but I think CC tackle has them too.

can't get enough of pencils.. the smallest profile change makes it look soo different.

I also really like the flat area in front of the eyes on needles.

I'd like to know more about the 4th plug in from the left in the group shot, that's got a nice sexy shape....

That olive plug is a reproduction I made after seeing pics here of an antique design called the Slick Nike... Some of the collectors can tell you more about this design but here is the picture(s) I was trying to copy when I made it

I have yet to fish it but I agree it is wicked sexy looking... nice curves

great stuff ,, The Nike caught my eye ... Those needles .. the bottom blue one .. are those eyes stickers ?

those eyes are the luminescent eyes that saltys has.. Charge them with a flash light and they glow for 2-3 minutes
