these are proto's ... top and bottom are the real thing plastic weigh 1.8 ounces.. The yellow/silver with silly cat eyes is white pine and will weigh 2 ounces.. The other 2 are hard maple and will weigh 3 ounces,, trying one of them set up more like a darter .. I'll test swim all three and make what I think is the best ,,. unless anybody has any preferrence... I'm really liking the yellow with silver scale ,nevr did that before .. 1 question .. am I suppose to be making one for Nib ?

I just quit my job and sent my girlfriend to Venezuela for the winter, next I'm going to start logging a forest in Alaska. I bought Createx, the company and I'm working on making my own wire, grommets and Hooks. I bought one of those programmable lathes and set it on 10,000 plugs. I'm certain I'll be done by my 71st B-Day.
How many are we making now????????? The plug I am making takes a LONG time... can we keep it under 30??????

tagger, I think they need to be light to swim right, I could be wrong. The one with the cat eyes looks fine. I made mine out of red cedar and they work well, just not very heavy so they don't cast real far but then again they are not needles or poppers anyway.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

bombers work great and usually catch right in the wash anyway. something to think about. just test them both to see.
I am tetering on whether to do howdys or hawg hunter pencils.
