Can't say I've ever seen a bad plug made by anyone...except maybe ME. Oh boy, do I have some beauties in my basement. When I started this madness it was broom and rake handles filed into some God awful shapes. They were then just rattle can spray painted with whatever I had on hand. Sealing, priming, epoxying??? What's THAT all about? Best thing was is that those ugly ducklings, as bad as they looked, caught fish. After one day of use the next time they were cliped to a line they REALLY LOOKED LIKE HELL...but still caught fish. I actually laugh to myself when I sit and ponder what I can do to improve the catching ability of a plug. Is it paint? Is it flash? Is it shape? Or maybe it's action. Then I look at those old beat up broom and rake handles and say "Screw it, I'll make a bunch more of those because I TRUST them to catch fish." Thus the following getting ready for epoxy. They "ain't" exotic, but can you guess what catches more fish for me than anything else?
I've got an idea. I'll take some pics and start a CRAPPY LOOKING PLUG THREAD. I bet I'd win a contest. BTW Daryl your plugs are sweet!
