I built a simple plug rack to hang my vintage beater examples that I use in my shop. Just something to hang them neatly on the wall in my shop!

I have a wire over my desk in the "shop" where I hang my "for example plugs". Some classics , some retired with honor. Hall of Fame on a string..

Shop cleaned up so now I can see the bench Dupe all set up and working well. Was given a Clemens lathe, all set up but needs new motor. Going to go with this new chubby body for Pikie this spring.

Chris, that is a Clemens rod lathe.

Rod lathe!
Sold the same one about 6 years ago and kicked myself in the ass for getting rid of it. Nice to have one again.

Model # 2M037A
115v 60HZ 1.5AMP

I bought mine from Grainger after burning the first one out

Looks like Grainger no longer carries the 2M037 A model which is CW rotation, I'm going to go with the 2M034 which I used on my last Clemens, only 1/15hp but it worked fine. Can't believe the price on these now!

Do you write on the retired with honor plugs... hard to remember the stories behind each great plug and what they caught...

Anyone ever try to build a CCBC 7600 surf darter? Anyone ever use one? They seem to be real scarce. Was it because they fished well and got used or because they were only made for a very short while? Always wanted to try and build one but never got around to it. I like the shape alot. Don't even know if they were more of a surface lure or if they were really a darter.

From what I hear they didn't swim great, Gary Soldati has been working on his version for a few years and I think he has it about right now. I think there may be a pic. of it on his site.

The plugs that retire have to earn it. The really big nights fishing don't happen every year, no need to write on them. I like it that way, keeps special, well, special.
