I owe ,,I owe
some past promises .. take me all winter to catch up .. knocked off a couple of Chumbuckets.. This is a long slim plug 8.5" ,, I've caught some smaller,, mid size fish on it ,, nothing large yet .. I don't care if it catches .. I throw this one for myself ... swims really nice .. I keep making this plug to fish and give others the experience .. chances of landing a real Chum are slim ..Trying a surfster lip proto. very rare... Shown with 6" predator..
The Ditch Troll skin plugs are something I've been working on all last winter/spring/summer... I think this is it ... Trolls are ugly and catch fish ..These plugs in the water is a thing of beauty .. Had a positive experience last summer .. I was flanked by some world class pluggers and one pro chunker (always catches) on a slow fish eve.. All got skunked ,,,except myself landing 3 fish and 1 large caucasian (me)..When the bite is slow ,,to the skin plug I go ...

Tagger are you putting a hook on the end of that chain or are you using it just to keep the skin shaped? Plugs look great!!!

skin plug weighs 2.4 naked ... Original was a 2 belly hook design and I put the brass chain in the tail so it wouldn't foul on the cast ,, (stay back) .. looked good in the water and caught so I kept it ,, even though I'm single belly hook now ... Chain will take a mustad stainless ... been there too . but prefer it with just the single belly hook .. its an option .

Thanks Tagger, I remember that Chum pluggage swimming in P-town harbor. It was unreal. I needed a photo to remind me to copy it. Those skin plugs...OMG! Thanks for the tail tip, too.  |
