NOT trying to start trouble at all, the plug is sweet. Just saying it looks like a Habs not a bad thing at all. If I made plugs I would try to copy HAbs as much as possible

Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery.......I admire Habs work, not to mention his character. John is a great guy and has been very helpful along the way. I might be able to make just about anything I want.....but I still got a bunch of Habs in my bag, and I always will! (Right Slingah?)

Thanks RR2! They are 10 inches long and I wanted them to suspend so the first time I tried them they were too light......so I doubled the weight in the butt and added weight to the nose and now they do exactly what I made them for.....swim about 2 feet below the surface! We will see how they work next week when Slingah, Joey G and I swim them down in Rhode Island!

CS,

Those squids make my drool everytime I see them. I have a stash of hard maple dowels at home with some interesting grain patterns. Can't wait to pick out a nice looking piece and just clear coat it to see what it looks like when done.

Nice work to everyone who posted picks here. Incredible talent on this board. Once I get some practice with the new air brush I'll post some of mine. No more cans for me!

Karl, I got your needle. It's a squidy red/gold Floyd Roman paint copy with Demons eyes on a modified bm blank with the shaved nose. It's a rare item. You are gonna love it. Wanna fish the canal in the morning? You gotta come west sometime.

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