Wow, nice work from many builders. Plugs and non-plugs alike!

I finally took a couple pics of what I have been up to lately. Some more of the slider/jerkbait type of plugs I like to make and fish in different sizes as well as some needles and some new swimmers I have been working on. There is a bunch of other stuff I did not get pics of yet.

A couple mahogany needles in mackerel and purple scale and a slow sinking slider. All right around 6" (pic is a bit distorted)


3 of my new swimmers. They are 5.5" and swim just subsurface to around 4 feet depending on retrieve speed. 2 macks still need epoxy.


A box of assorted stuff. HEAVY maple macks, herring and yellow sliders, blurple jointed etc.

And more...

2 heavy, fast sink maple mackerel sliders built for friends for the canal.


Assorted small stuff from 3.5 to around 7". All slow sinking.


And 1 pic of some of the collaboration work I have been doing with GooGoo Man. My mack paint on some of his fantastic slim pikies and super jr's. I also did some redfin style swimmers and nikes for him which I can't wait to see epoxy on.

Nice stuff, JMAC and Hookset!
I have just put five on the spinner with epoxy, and sealed another ten today. But with only nine days to go, it's awfully quiet in here......
