Just got up and running this week. Built a new bench and turned about 50 bodies. Been doing lip slots and belly weights this morning. I have big trollers, dannies skinny and regular, eelies, pencils, and some blue streak/atom hybrids.

Hoping to turn some ornaments, Christmas trees and tree lightbulbs this week for some holiday cheer and presents. Won't get to plugs until after the holidays as the shop is in cabinet and shelving mode...

Bill and a few in process and a few complete
Saw may Dad again this weekend. He finished 2 more 9" needles (my best catcher in 2011 on MV and in RI). Also a 6 inch swimmer ( a tribute to my favorite Afterhours Swimmer) which has been my best swimmer and hopefully Bill's will do the trick as well. See another hand turned copy in process next to the original. Also he finished a nice medium sized Danny. Finally after his 91st Birthday a few weeks ago he has another 9 inch needle in lathe and a swimmer and medium Danny wired and ready for painting. We are looking forward to Plugfest March 3rd.

I agree. I can only hope I am still plug building and fishing when I am 91. 
I regret I have not posted anything for a while but I have been building plugs lately. For the most part I am working on some of the same stuff that worked for me last season, (sliders, peanuts, needles etc) incorporating some new building tips and ideas I picked up during fishing season. Hopefully always improving. I will post a
couple pics of the latest batch when I finish with top coats. For now here are a couple pics of a few from my last batch. Some of these will be going to Plugfest.

After somewhat mastering Nikes of various sizes, I had this crazy idea of building a soft-tail Nike for musky fishing..........off to the "Lureboratory" I go.......
