I made this needle a while ago ,,see how it does this year .. all tested..Cast very well and comes in spinning.. not trying to be "The Mothers of Invention" but has this been done before ? Please do not copy me or your head will be chopped off with a dull axe while you sleep . thank you.. The handcarves are a 1st ,,(thanks numbskull) Cordell Big O knockoff on top is a winner,,,so sweet,,very Gary2ish.. Next one down is ok .. bottom one that my airbrush puked red all over maybe weighted a little to heavy and flounders around close to the bottom ,,painted for arriving herring..

Hey Lizzy Borden, I can' wait to copy ur neeedle, copy cat.
On the bottom one torque the lip down.
I hate pukey paint.when ever I get fancy it happens little dots like on bunker patterns scare me to death.U paint four colors perfect blends pattern is perfect u go to do the dots an PUKE SPPPLLLAAATTT AAAAAAA.Very nerve racking.Paint around the eyes is ok cause I can shoot from the center of the eye out to get the feel right.But dots make me nervous.sometimes If it come out really nice I just say F' it an leave em out.

I got to get going, you're gaining fast. Just imagine where you'd be if you didn't spend so much time in the bathroom these days.

NIB, in the picture of my fat Dannies last week, the Mackerel thats a day behind the others was first a Pogie. Then I F'd up the dots on the last stinkin dot, got all blotchy. I got so annoyed trying to do them clean I changed it to a mac pattern..

Tagger, sweet hand carves.

I dig what your doing with the flaptails, similar to your plugfest darter. I'm wondering if theres a way to attach it to either a swivel or a hanger right off the thru wire? When I start needles next week I may give something like that a try.

Your off the charts Eddie, a sick man, a sick man.
