very nice job, paint is very clean. I like the yellow one and the last one too, heck really like the first one too.

I was wondering if anyone did a smaller size of these plugs. I have a few of Lu's and was thinking a smaller version would be really nice but have never seen one.

I ripped off eastend Lu's color scheme on the darker one. (His still look better though).
They look great Joe !!!!

I made some smaller ones (protos)but did not like their action.They all darted like small darters and i wanted the dart and swim action.I have to revisit them as i think i have it figured out but we are talking plugbuiling here and most likely i will have to have many failures before i find a winner.

Lu gave me a blank back in Sept. Took me a couple of months staring at it before I felt confident to try one. I made this one for largemouths and it swims better than I had hoped. Will be doing some more experimenting. Thanks Lu!!
