I have to imagine we love catching, and seeing other people catch, on the lures we make. There's nothing wrong with innovative style, fancy paint job, or a deep glossy top coat. But I always end up asking myself: will that plug catch? In order to answer that question and to provide opportunity to show off our handiwork, please post pics of this year's fish attached to a lure that you, or somebody you know, built. I live between incredible hold-over rivers, so I catch all year long. Catching on a hard-bodied lure is tough in January and February, but true to form, as March approached I started throwing and connecting with small wooden lures. Here's the 1st picture I took of a '23 fish caught on one of my own hard lures. Last year you guys lit up the '22 thread with pics of fish big and small, on lures of many varieties, from all over the east coast. I cannot wait to see what is caught on our custom lures this year. Thanks in advance for participating. (lure in 2nd pic is same model, not same lure)

Did you catch a fish on something you or somebody you know made? Can your plugs out fish mine? Who caught what on custom wood? We work so hard making them, let's show off the results! Below is my first fish of 2021 on something besides a jig head bounced along bottom. Not a behemoth, but it broke the 2021 seal. Mini darters do well for me (and with respect to Heavy Hooksetter, who starts a similar thread in the Main each year)
