that's the problem with being the last in the house to get sick. Nobody wants to hear about it any more ok back to plugs. Here is what I did this week and weekend.
First is a needle I am addicted to. I made some skinner maple ones and some of th normal size AYC. Got the soft maple from Scott and it is beautiful stuff and not too much waste. I always use a few varieties of wood to see if some really good might happen.
Second is the Nike size I like and out of a few different woods

Third is the slim danny, Gary2 copy. I gave my next to last one to George's friend. Really like this plug. Kind of an in between plug. I tried some out of Port Orford for the first time but I prefer AYC.

nice job on the Nike. It is a really nice plug and fun to build. Got as many curves as a pregnant women.

Good morning everyone. Looks like everybody is busy. We've got ice all over everything here this morning. Gonna do some more building this afternoon. Here's a couple things I've got done recently.

Some stuff for freshwater. Small handcarved stuff and a scaled down jointed. Small swimmers that I fish in both fresh and salt the little blue over white has been a great largemouth plug. And a couple thin swimmers.
