				 | Oh the light theory..... , I hope this new clear coat holds up, and that these plugs swim as well as the first ones.

				 | Sams I am using the Minwax on the Polaris poppers, some small poppers, and the beachie swimmers.  I am trying the Wst System epoxy, with slow hardner on the pikies.  We all gotta figure out a good topcoating solution soon, one that is not too labor intensive, this is getting expensive     
Here are some I dipped in the minwax the pic does'nt show off the finish well.  I smashed the needle off of the cast iron table on the drill press a couple of times.  No cracks or chips, just a couple of dents. |

				 | SPEC"S 
   couse its getting expensive, your beeten the plugs to death b/fore u's are getting to use them.   I think everyone is trying to hard to make the plugs last forever, well theres lots o plugs out there w/no paint on them an they still catch fish. I think WE are the 1's that want to make them look purty. AS long as the plugs are waterproof on the inside they will hold up ok. IF u still have them at the end of the season u can always repaint. |

				 | You know what your right lifes too short.  Lets just fish em.
 Saltheart I think you are right about the pink.  John and I were talking and we thought we would try to go with a rusty pink color.  But I think ho pink would be better.
