I would have to second the Freak Flag plug.....That thing is like Kryptonite.

When you get near it or hold it you get Dizzy and Weak in the knees.

how can ya not be influenced by this artists' work?

Another would have to be Mr. Pogie, and I am sure he was influenced by Stan Gibbs since his bottle plugs simply blow away any Gibbs paintjob I have ever seen.
There are many others that I can list that influence me, as far as inspiring me to experiment, then I'd have to go with Bassmaster and Gary2 and Tony Stetzko Sr. for a couple of names.
I find it very difficult to put one person above the rest but having said that, Chum's work speaks for itself.
Mike Fixter helped me out alot as well as many others, we all help each other, even that Habs guy helps

Mr.Pogie examples :

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.

Gary2....always ahead of the curve, paint wise and originiality wise, the craftsmanship of his hand carved are second to none.
Bernzy...Amazing painter and plug maker, hell of a nice guy too. Howdys have to be one of the best new wood plugs to come around in a while.
It doesnt get more influential than these two guys and their plugs.

I honestly have to say i have been influenced by every member's plugs on this board.

Somehow, to me, each plug has a piece of the character,personality and soul of the builder built into it, and thats the thing that means the most to me.

Well... the plug that made me want to build was the OJ needlefish. I'm sure many of you have seen the picture of about 6 or 7 of them in that tasty purple color sitting in a coffee cup on a windowsill. I saw that and I said oh man this is going to get expensive. I actually lost sleep that night (honest) thinking about how to get started. PNG's paint jobs have influenced me a lot too, as well as Bernzy, Tobias, and Tagger. Construction and tweaking-wise I have learned alot from Capesams, BM, Gary2 and MAC. But evryone has influenced me at one time or another. I'll try and find that pic of the OJ needles it's actually beautiful... brings a tear to your eye
