I actually saw some cowboy knock offs made from pvc somewhere. Not sure how they work, but I thought it was a good idea.
Why are you guys trying to steer me away from wood? You afraid I'll drive the price of lumber too high and you'll have to resort to eels?

those cowboys you saw are mine. they're laminated pvc and turned on a lathe.
forget about sealing and epoxies.  just shape and paint.
i do epoxy the ones i plan on trading or whatever, but its just to protect the paint. all my best plugs are white, yellow or blank anyway.
the hardest part is figuring out the laminating process......im not telling my secrets. |

Tell us your secrets ,, we tell ours .. pvc is heavy no ? those cowboys ended up about 4.25 ounces.. that struck me as heavy when i saw them .although they looked identical .. |

there 4.25oz with 5/0 hooks, hardware, split rings, siwash and paint.
the bms weigh the same once theyre rigged up.
they swim identical.
pvc is great, same constisenticy, same bouyancy, same density, no sealing and dry time, no epoxy needed unless you want to save the paint.
im planning on making it to plug fest were ill bring a bunch of stuff to show, i have plugs that i fished all season, that were abused and still look real nice or better than wood.

I'm not big on secrets. Does PVC cement not work? |

Yeah, this whole "I've got a secret" crap is lame. |
