the greek Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Not really all that cold but last nights rain muddied up my fishing plans and I'm bored. Let's see what everybody's up to. Some stuff I just took off the spinner and some other stuff I finished up recently. A couple mini's and a 7" swimmer. The magnum mag darter is 7" 2.7 oz. Flaptail is 5" and 2.75 oz. One of the most fun plugs to fish with and fish like them a lot. 8" 3.5 oz surfster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shady grady Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Ordered soem hardware now have bulging disk in back. Pressing on sciatic. December sucked royally (bronchitis), January is sucking even worse. Please keep posting those awesome pics. The best part of trashing plugs is making more.

DreamsOfHatteras Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Man this thread has me feeling like I am running behind. Finally having a lathe is like starting all over again... There'll be some stuff soon. Mostly smaller for the time being. Doing alot of thinking about smallmouth and speckled trout. Ted, all of that looks great, but the flaptail is frustratingly amazing. Is it off center turned? Super super clean. Expect a pm with some grilling on a few tools/techniques... FJR - those look alot like some ideas in my head for speckled trout. Especially the bottom one. Really cool texture mask on the top one too. Winch. I must know more of this kerplunk that you speak of. Most of the time I only associate that sound with my wife holding the line to long on a cast and releasing too late, hence, lure/lead hits water and....kerplunk. Good stuff guys. I've looked forward to this thread since the one last year. Originally Posted by south shoreman : dreamsofhatteras - you're seriously twisted...

DerrickT Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 They ain't great but we'll see how they work. Couple of them need to be finished hardwaring yet and I got a couple more painted and ready to top. Think I did a couple chicken scratch, school bus and a striper in that run. The rainbow jointed below is a prototype. That was done with all marker and it hasn't swam yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKSurf Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Still catching bass almost every morning but I'm starting to get a few done. These are 4 inch, 1.5 oz swimmers. The black/purple one was the first lure I started catching fish on post-Sandy this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie G Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Some great work you guys do. Ted you amaze me with every plug you turn out. I just got back on the lathe but trying some new small off center turned plugs for 2013. Also trying to make my own spoon lips for a sealed plug I've been working. Here's a few I've got done in the past few weeks. A few off center turned small ones. A swimmer And an off center turned swimmer that snapped off on me on the lathe so I hand carved it, and sanded it by hand to save what I could of it.

Chunkah Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Nothing finished yet, but have settled on some new designs after much trial and error. New little Surfster. 5" and 2oz. 7 1/4" Eelie...2.25oz. Made one out of red cedar and one out of AYC. I like each for specific applications as the red cedar ones can be worked on top and just subsurface while the AYC ones work subsurface and down further...(red cedar shown) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the greek Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Looking good everybody. Glad to see everybody's building stuff. Been a little dead around here. Frank I'll put one of those mini's away for you. TK glad to see the fish are still cooperating. Tin and teaser or are you still getting them on wood? Winch I know you still have some more stuff. One more pic of some plugs I'm doing for a swap at the other place. Pretty happy with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
