plug

I cant tell if the eyes are cut , like a super strike, but if they are I know the builder. An old man in East Patchogue made a batch and unfortunately they all peeled, like that one. It is sad because his wood work was excellent and the price was awesome.
Now that I look at it closer it probably is not his. The tail twist is too sloppy.

NIb are you poring your lead directly into the body or placing prepoured lead into the tail hole. If your not pouring try it. You can drill the shaft in a smaller diameter deeper into the plug getting the lead almost all the way to the hook placement. The thinner the diameter of the drill hole leaves you with more wood left in the body.


Its only art if it don't catch fish!
