Every Plug has a story

[Flaptail]

They remind me of a 10x10 needle I have, rough but it caught tons of fish. The eyes on the 10x10 are those little white reinforcing thingies you put on papers in a three ring binder just stuck on. Or some of Brad "Hawghunter" Porchners plugs with the goopy coatings and randomly spray painted finishes. Didn't and doesn't matter to the fish they ate them as fast as any perfectly finished plug.

Dennis I think it's more a case of who is on the other end of the line if you know what I mean, I know it is in your case.

John has come a long way from when he had a booth behind the Gibbs booth at the armory in Braintree at the MSBA show in the early 90's.

Those are cool, DZ. I have some needles that John gave me back in th early 90's too. They are different than those in that they look like the wooden donny musso's. They were protoypes from the time when John was experimenting with finishes and the like. Got a couple poppers and jointed swimmers too.

I remember those....

Look like Boone knockoffs...

Wish I had some of my earlier ones. Back in the day when it was permissible (ok, not exactly) to raid the back of the truck...

I have some 10x10 that look similar also, Kenny was the best fisherman I ever met. He showed me how to fish a needle on Nauset one very rough night. Habs showed me how also, and that night was the one I caught my first striper on one of my own plugs.
