				 | Nothing with stripes yet but got something to eat some wood.  Actually the plug is made from sign board.  Very light weight and makes a very lively plug.  I contacted an online sign board company and they were offering the board in three different densities.  I got a free trial pack of three boards, one in each density.  This one was made from the highest density board they offered.      |

				 | A "little something" to get things going, actually a very little something.  But its only April 25th and I'm liking this GooGooMan baby donny already.  Cool subsurface action, almost a cross between a darter and a swimmer.  Works well really slow.  Neat plug with ton's of potential. |

				 | Time to get this thread cranking.  Here is a 14 lb bass and I practicing our Linda Lovelace imitations.  That is a 8" Musso surface swimmer she inhaled (and illustrates the bit about tail hooks being non-critical). |

				 | Nice pic George! In all the pics I have of fish on plugs 99.9% of them have the fish on the belly hook! (That being bass of course). |  
| 
 
Almost time to get our fish on!!!   |

That one has a nice look to it. |

A good friend asked me last week if I still get excited over fishing even after doing it for most of my life... |

retire that plug now before you lose it to some sharp toothed fish.
 
congrats Mike, it IS an accomplishment.
 
now you can dress your plugs with eelskins, I give you permission, but stay away from live ones.  |
