jklett Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 This is my first attempt at making plugs. They are 6" long and weigh about an ounce. They are made from some cheap 1x2 pine and thru-wired with 1/16" brass using the same technique LaPala showed in the tutorials. The lips are made from old PC board material I had at work. They swim pretty much like the bombers I patterned them after except a little more lively? Thank you all for some great information and inspiration in this new hobby of mine.

Husky Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Some guys I know from Jersey are after Bomber types that are considerably heavier than the originals. I hear there is a Big Demand for them. How does the pine hold up to soaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrawdadBill Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Nice job. Looks good to me. One of my fist lures was one similar to those with a green circuit board bill, but my paint job wasn't as nice as yours. I still have the lure. bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Your first attempt is a good one. Brought back memories of my first attempt. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkbait Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Those look great. If that is a first attempt, then you got natural talent. Thru wired stick baits are hard to get right. Great Job! Jerk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellure Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Real nice job, good shape to those. Wish I could say the first plugs I ever made looked half that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
