looks great. Neat idea.

I have pretty much tried making some kind of fishing lure out of everything possible, material wise. Stainless, delrin, pvc, polycarb, titanuium, aluminum, HDPE, you name i've tried it . I still prefer wood as that is what I find most satisfying. Below is the first plug I ever made. I copied a large Gibbs polaris. I figured I would take a piece of tool steel cut out the profile on a small cnc bridgeport and then harden it. I then jammed it into a solid piece of PVC on a large lathe. Problem is you would need a large lathe to do something like this as it takes a lot of power. It ended up being the first and last plug ever built with that tool. Not worth it. That pvc plug also weighs 6 oz as it sits so I think the pvc plugs some are building out of pvc are not pure pvc, as it is really heavy.
