I built the plugs and a friend who is a professional air brush artist did all the finish work.  We had some fun and the plugs sure did catch us some fish.






















5/21/15 ted in MA ...

"I caught this fish this morning 5/21 on my 9th cast! they are starting to come in now the water is 54 degrees so a little cool, the boat guys are getting them though, from shore its a little slow for keepers despite the reports which are rumors started by the bait stores to drum up business. the Cago lures are swimming perfect for me! for this fish I left the lure floating after it hit the water then twitched a bit for about 10 seconds then started a slow steady retrieve. fish was a 33" and unfortunately we can only keep 1 striper now in Mass so to avoid a warning or ticket for culling (trying to catch one bigger then giving the smaller away) I had to leave once I landed it.

The plugs remind me of some old Heddons that I have, but the paint jobs you have here are BEAUTIFUL!!!  Those are some awesome looking plugs! - john

Those are too pretty to fish!

Great teamwork!

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Those look great and the paint job is impressive to say the least.

Wow! Those fish did not have a chance with those lures.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

nothing like catching fish with your own gear call it a rod, lure or even a extremely mod reel

great times !!
