The Spoonpluggers Forum

Now that I am pratically retired I hardly work, I go to work when I feel like. I needed for something to do. I started reading a bunch of stuff on Tackle Underground site, it's a great site about bait building and other stuff. I decided to start building and airbrushing painting, wich I did not think I could paint, To my surprice I am actually prety good. Bait building is actually addicting, I make a bait than I want to make something different. I work for hours and I love it. Beside muskie glide baits I also made some big Bombers and including spoonplugs from 6 inches to 10 inches. The latest I made blade baits with tails on, the tails are Bill Beck ideas, special tanks to Bill. By the way Bill made me a spoonplug rod with a long cork handle, I really love the rod, Thanks Bill. Here is some of my work

Gino,

Check Out Larry Dahlberg's MakeLure site. I've been thinking about doing some of the lures myself but I'm kind of a klutz when it comes to this kind of stuff.

I hope semi-retirement works out for you. Hoping for a similar situation stating in January.
