I finished the broken back stuff I wanted to try in the canal. we'll see if it works, wanted to fish them in daylight. (I had made similar ones 4-5 years ago but they swam 'too fast'. But too fast may be ok by day.
I also finished a small batch of needles and got the other needles primed.
I'm working on bottles now. For a plug I used to hate fishing as a kid they sure are a lot of work to build. So far so good. Bodies are turned and belly holes drilled. Im putting weights under the chin so will do that today and maybe drill for tail weights. Kind of putting off playing with the drum sander as I know I will end up screwing up a few before I get that right.

I finally have some completed plugs. Nothing special in terms of paint and I am still learning; but I am really enjoying the overall process. The final weights are between 3.3oz and 3.75oz. Most of them have a fairly level sink. A couple sit nose up in the tank, but most sit level (haven't figured out why, not too concerned).

It all started last year during a terrible thunderstorm, when I locked myself out of the house. Shelving myself with a large piece of sheet metal, I ran for cover under the tallest tree I could find!

Striperswiper, it is going to feel great the first time a bass hits one of them. Nice work.
