Seems like a young guy who just started building (and was asking finishing questions as recently as 4/07, http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ad.php?t=40412) and is now using the site to get his name out there. Stuff might be good, but going from rank amateur to commercial builder in less than a year and using the site to generate sales seems suspect. Is he a sponsor?

I've heard nothing but good things about his plugs from fishermen and builders alike. This "rank amateur" has done his homework

That is good that you have heard good things
It's up to potential customers to also do their homework.
In my experience, I find fish are pretty simple beings, they wouldn't know the difference between most plugs, not that that has anything to do with this thread.

If his plugs work well, he'll sell; if not he'll be out of business. Time will tell.

Numby - I think this guy has been a round a little bit. So while, we cordially ask for nospam postings I do think this is someone that's been building nice stuff for a while. He was at Plugfest last year if I recall (right Mike??)

I like the looks of a few of them. Certainly pretty plugs. The painted lips are cool. Any reviews on durability?

More power to him, everybody has to start somewhere. The world can use more good plugs (and less spam). Caveat emptor.
