Musso medium lipless swimmer
Musso large BD next
Masterlure big mouth popper.
Bluestreak large popper (real sweet plug!).
Musso Maple Sr and maybe a Conrad Sr or two.
Only a few of each.

Then I got 2-3 rods I wanted to build and a plug bag to make......but that ain't likely. Start trout fishing Sat

George, i have one of those if you need it for reference. An eastender named Lu should have it pretty soon. Then its scheduled to stay on the eastend with a master BD builder, but if you need it let me know and it will make its way up to your place.

Kindest,
Billy

Just finished up these Pikies and Have a bunch of other plugs waiting to be finished. It is raining here way too much for finish work though. Need some good California sun to get back at it hard.






Its only art if it don't catch fish!

I will send a clone up to you quick George.I will be trying to finish some swap pike and a jointed pike. Their is a proto that i have been on for over a year now that i am making specifically for the canal and i think its time to get er done. I just left the tool room trying to get lu tools done and then start on the next batch of tools (wire benders) the request for them has been brisk.

I have so much crap going on I'm not even sure but everything will go aside so that I can finish the needles I've been working on.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.

Hi Billy.
The BD has been handed off to Lu.
Thanks so much for letting me hang onto it.

Nice job on the bodies... question is can you fool a sea robin with one?

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
