My building season was thrown a major curveball when my wife broke her ankle during the winter. Work was busy like normal, and I've only recently had time to finish up some stuff I was working on. Here's a few: Some Jersey style swimmers, ~4-1/2", 1.8 oz., Lefty1 mid lip, fully sealed, 2/0 VMC's and triple split rings. Pretty swimmy, and they cast OK, but not a big water plug. Some larger pencils that are destined for the canal this summer, 8-1/2", 4.2 oz., cut 4/0 VMC's, and a couple of 6" spook/howdy type things, 2.8 oz. and the same 4/0 hooks. It used to be that all my best fish here in NJ came on pencils, but the fishing has changed, not so many large fish off the beaches anymore, these smaller walk the dog style plugs work well and cast a mile, which matters when you need to reach the bait schools off a flat sandy beach. Been working on some jigs too, I'll post up some pics when they're ready Love red heads......I'm sure Phil's are just fine troll #122 <*)))< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southcoastphil Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I attacked what was a blurple Sr. WaveJammer with my rattle cans last year. Ivory paint, followed by Bronze Metallic back. I must have been feeling my oats back then, because I added a red chin splash!!

Ed White Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Welcome to the Madness Phil. The plugs look good, and rattle cans are hard. I think that egg might need another coat. "Can You Hear Me, Doctor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that some of those auto paints spray on nice and better yet, the ones that are metallic. Keep up the good work.

Ed White Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Phil, that first needle is old school, with the cotter pin thru the back. It's all good, so long as you're having fun with it. "Can You Hear Me, Doctor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
