Whats everybody working on???

[The Dad Fisherman]

I was listening to Stiff Tip talking to somebody at Plugfest and overheard him saying "Se This big plug here.....beautiful Plug....ain't caught Chit on it, All the bait has been small the past couple of years"

So I went home and made some small canal style pencils and howdy's....the small pencils are almost ready for some paint. Weighted them 2 different ways to see which I like best.

Ive been busy. building a 7" danny, surfsters, atom jr, small needles due to all the sand eels everywhere last year and some old school and oddball stuff, like a predator, nike and some vintage replicas with new twists.

its crazy how much time and effort everyone puts in to plugs, its great and keeps me sane in the winter.

Its getting close guys, already caught my first freshwater fish, a crappie, 3lb largemouth and 5.5lb largemouth and not ice fishing either, was on saturday fishing rapalas before work, great way to start the day.

I didn't hear that there but was actaully going to start a thread on that .. I did talk with PM about the subject .. Last year little stuff ruled .. 5 3/4" cordell pencils ... My small needle .. even out at BI ,,, small sand eel size baits . Also some plugs were off .. My jiiggy spook was not my got to,, savior for the first time in 4 yrs. I was wondering with the popularity of that plug if every fish up and down the coast has seen it .. Then what Flaps thinking was at the end of last season ... Just try to throw something different than everyone eles .. To answer the question I'm making all small stuff .. with the exception of large predators and darters .

Building a few juniors now that I have them figured out. Also working on replacing a bunch of my fishing supply that I have traded and given away. Finally, like at the end of every building season I'll build some one off stuff to try fishing this season.
