apb Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I have lurked here for a while. A couple of guys (thanks Jerkbait and Husky) recently guilted me into signing up and posting a few photos. These are pikie minnow type plugs I did on the lathe. Largest is 9 inches and 5 oz, small one is 1 1/2 inches and 1/16 inch. All but the small one are thru-wired. All are of Alaskan Yellow Cedar. The small one I use on the ultra-light when I take the nephews and nieces bluegill fishing. The rest are for stripers. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Now that's what I'm talking about! A bit of a different look. I'm sure we're all going to have a nice give and take here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 THe man has got much more. And it's all fish "Ketchin'" proven. Let's just say that if he flooded the market with his stuff, Cabelas would get concerned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apb Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Husky, you are too kind :oops: Cabelas has nothing to worry about, I have no plans to give up valuable fishing time to compete with them If you ever want to test a foam bait on freshwater stripers, drop me a line and we'll work out a trade.

jerkbait Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I knew it was only a matter of time. I go to the shop to paint up some blue shad bodies and APB makes the scene. Welcome! Jerk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striperknight Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Who is this Andrew and what have you done with Jigman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apb Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Who is this Andrew and what have you done with Jigman? I tossed Jigman in my melting pot and used him for ballist in plugs Actually, the name was already taken on the site, so I picked an alternate name I used on other sites. Jerkbait, sounds like it was a painting day all around. Painted up 36 plugs yesterday too. I'm sure at least one of them will end up spending some quality time with you Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkbait Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Can't wait to see the new paints APB. Especially since I hope to posess some. Loading up some picts of the whole group to the gallery. Take a look APB and we will do some trading. I need some input on YYZ paint patterns. I will send your shad out after I make Bates drool over it at the WV sport show next weekend. Another frosty day so I be buildin'. Jerk!
