These are my second try last year in building plugs. With these I didn't have the paint bleeding when I applied the epoxy like the set did. The epoxy is still not as good as I wold like, but its getting better. Last season was the first that I caught salmon on these - this year I'll at least have one pole in the boat with one of these tied on.
I post a few more here in the next few days.

RE:Hand made salmon plugs
I think they look great. The important thing is for the salmon to think they are mouthable.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

RE:Hand made salmon plugs
Nice work! Shoot, you could probably make some poppers for bass now.

RE:Hand made salmon plugs
By first looks, I'd guess that your awesome looking plugs would gurgle/chug/spit/splash water if they were twitched. Typical bass chuggers or poppers and bass anglers call them general range in length from 5" in length or less.
