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. |

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. |

Yes BT. Thanks Sarge. I figured as much as you never really see anyone trying to reproduce them.

Maybe we should do a "CC Surf Darter Challenge"
I'm in for it, this is one of the plugs that's on my "give it a try list" |

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. |
