I think anyone who started building automobiles should give props to the inventor.....Henry Ford and name all their vehicles fords.

After all....they are all shaped "about" the same and have wheels just like his....but are they really that different?

Eben....are you following in the grand tradition of rubber eel making or do you feel you are breaking new ground?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

PS....not looking for a pissing contest but just trying to make a point....this is an old topic rehashed many times......how many different ways can you make a wooden stick with hooks on it?

So you don't get angry at me Eben...I was just making a point....I think your rubber eels are very cool, tastey looking and different than any I have seen......but still shaped like a rubber eel with a different twist to the character of the body...and I love it.

I can tell you this.....I do try to make my plugs a bit different than anything I have seen.....but that in itself is difficult. I make a danny...I call it a danny....I make a pencil...its different than Gibbs but still it is a pencil. I feel as though I am going in circles.

The water in this toilet is warm....come on in!

Also....I will say what I think many are afraid to say....if we have lost many "great builders" from this site I think it is due to their inflated heads and their imagined lofty stature in the plug building world!

Move over cause BigFish likes building plugs....like it or not!
