last one's till I finish the hand carved and pikezilla. In the last pic, it's hard to tell, but I put color shift paint(thanks nightfighter!) paint on it. It's the balls!

ooops. Forgot about this one. It's not with my fishing stuff, because I told my 3 yr old daughter that I made her a fishing lure, because her favorite color is pink. Well, she named her Sally, and takes her everywhere now, even to bed. So I think I should consider that one "lost" to a 25lber! lol

nice!!!!!

here's that handcarved....not the greatest, but not horible for a first time.

hey north shorefisher....ya got to love that swimmer......ya done good.......say not for nothin but would u belive the first swimmer i made from the salty kit with my first cast i nailed a bass right in the wash.....i thought the plug dug into the sand.......thats how close it hit......your gona love the action........i get a good lat workout when i make those

here she is, my final kit out of 15 that I got back in March for my bday! Time well spent. I'm really happy with this one, Pikezilla!! The paint even came out half way decent.

very nice!

It's great to have a place to share pics without having to be called a plug assembler! Lots of beautiful plugs in here!

Here are two of mine in action this weekend. I lost the brand new Wonderbread to to a Bluefish bite-off about 10 minutes after I caught a couple Stripers on it. The next day, I brought one from last year that I hadn't used.

Very nice Andy! Congrats on a job well done! Looks like you had a boatload of fun!

IT'S JEALOUSY that you have skills others don't. Don't ever let someone knock you for something you get fun and enjoyment out of. There's too many internet heros on fishing boards these days. SOL, SB, you name it. I dislike this look down over your eyeglasses type of view that many have of people.

It's also cliques....these guys all want to see their buddies sell plugs under the table and get a big name so if your not a member of the clique then sayonara. Wrong attitude to have. Wonder why the world is so effed up today.

well said scott........i couldnt agree with you more.......yea and some people think your showing off......like your the best plug builder in the world but thats realy not the case....a pic of your plug only gives the next builder some new ideas to try and to put his/her ideas into that same plug.....some people just misinterpret ther hole concept........well said my friend.......now on the otherside.....NICE!!! Andy B.......your plugs look real sweet......love the colors

Here! Here! Scott.... Awesome stuff Andy! Congrats!

Thanks a lot guys!! I'll have to go back now through my pics and see what else I have to post.

I thought I'd put up some kits I've done over the past 2 years. It's funny when you look back at some of them how you can pick out things you wish you could have done differently. But that's how you get better I guess. They all fish well with their imperfections though!











































And my very first kit!

MOST excellent! You have some wicked nice painting skills Andy and prob one of the best scale patterns I've seen. Color mixes look great too!
