Unique plugs, Great colors, Cool shapes & look well put together. I probably would have gone with a belly hook though on the longer ones, & made the thru wire wrap @ the tail end but thats personal preference.

Great job.

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

Thumbs up

Way cool. How about trying some of those vinyl dangly rubber skirts on them like they have on a spinner bait for (ick) Largemouth fishing. I have seen them in Stamina catalogs that have colors real close to your paint. Your color schemes are very good btw!

Why even try.........

There is a very fine line between a hobby and a mental illness........and you, sir, are heading for trouble. Nicely done.

you first timers sure put me to shame. Those look great teaser.
I could suggest on those squid plugs, try drilling your thru wire hole out the side a little from the front (like an Atom reverse) and see how they work then , I think you'll like the results.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Very nice work

Great! That color scheme is right on. Maybe try a long hackle siwash in mottled beige/dull pink as well?

Good health and family

Thumbs up i love them...

the color is right on.... i have this theory that a certain shaped head gives
off either a pattern of micro bubbles ,waves (vibrations) that fish pick up on...
and your current retrieve activates it...

i like this one cuz of the red in it... i think it's most Pissah
