OK, Phil is holding out so I'll put up some plugs.

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.

 

20190526_105456.jpg.3e710ca8987d1aecccbe83a8425322d7.jpg

 

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:heart:......I'm sure Phil's are just fine:th:

I'll be gentle at first, so you'll know when to don the welding goggles to protect your eyes.

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!!

Very nice Ed! Those are great looking plugs.  I hope that your wife is feeling better and that you are able to get back out in the surf...

Welcome to the Madness Phil. The plugs look good, and rattle cans are hard.

I think that egg might need another coat.

Ehhh, heck, you ain't seen nuthin yet.

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. :howdy:

I might just have to start a new thread here, UAS, to post my next series of abominations.

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.

I added the cotter pin hook hanger.  Figured that it couldn't be much worse than those tiny screw eyes that Boone used to use!
