Outnumbered/Eye Selection?

Outnumbered? Giving you eye options for your Atom Jr. Pick which you would like on your plug! The 1/2" eyes shown in picture 4 and 5 can be done with the non-recessed eye socket as well (pictured in picture 2). Let me know ASAP as I want to get her all drilled and sealed tomorrow!

2 more options....as I said these can also be done with the non-recessed eye socket as pictured in the second photo? These are the new eyes that Cape Cod Tackle has and they are pretty sweet!

Machined and sealed the little danny today. It's as true to the original as I can do without a dupe. In fact it was beside the lathe as I turned the Greek's. That original rewarded me handsomely...

Dad gave me a lot of latitude so I've taken the opportunity to get creative which means I've spent a ton of time staring at the plug, I'm please with what I've got so far and cant wait to get to the serious painting.....I plan to swim it this week to make sure it is effective...overall...just about 10" needlefish, a little over 12 with the tail hook I think...planning to get to the SWE open fly tying night this week to work up a nice dressed tail hook, I'm thoroughly enjoying this but it's killing any other plug making that might have been done...still plenty of winter left, hope everyone decides to do this on a regular basis...

Outnumbered wants "eye treatment" number 1! That would have been my first choice for this plug so I think this will be a very special plug indeed! It will also have a special extra "twist".....to be seen very soon! Very unique I think too! Can't wait to see all the great work going on.....we will start a picture thread the weekend of the 7th if that is ok with everyone?? So if we can hold back a little we can make that weekend alot of fun with this??? Sound good?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
