Thanks, all.

It's funny ... each of these has an imperfection of one kind or other. On one, the eyes are asymmetrical; one another, there's a small bald spot where I missed some epoxy; etc.

BUT: They are so goddamned fun to make. Each has character, too. AND: They will definitely produce. If not, then they'll go immediately to the bottom, snag some seaweed, and that's the end of that. But I did have some good luck with my first batch. They were all black, two Atom Jr.s, a needle and a danny. Zee fish found the Atom Jr.s to be the tastiest of the bunch, catching fish in multiple places.

Lots of good inspiration on this forum. I think it's the best one at S-B. The thread of catches with homemade plugs rules. Keep up the good work, all.

Peace.
