My custom chug bug/popper

I have been making a few lures this week. This is my 3rd one. I think it looks pretty good. I sanded it with my hand and all the painting was done by hand with a brush. What ya think?

Looks good to me. My one problem with the regular Chug-bug is the paint don't stay on very long.

i had thought about selling these on a small scale basis. it takes me about 2 to 3 hours per plug to make them. I dont know if anyone would buy them but i cd make one for someone. if anyone wants to give one a try let me know.

Nice job bro! A buddy and I were making some lures a couple days ago also while we wait for Spring!

One question: What/How did you go about making the skirt on that lure? We didn't know what to buy to make it.

Very good job!

They look good,and I think they will catch fish. not being negative,but what I would do is put a quality hook on them,like a Gami or something,exspecially if you are going to sell them. I know myself as a advid tournament fisherman,any lure that come already equipped with a good quality hook,gets my attention.Good luck,hope you sale a million,and become famous .

I catch some toads on a chug bug! I usually use the larger size. It's one of my confidence baits. My biggest bass, an 8 3/4 lber, ate a blue shad chug bug. If you could paint some up like a bluegill, I'd definitely like to buy a few!!! Let me know if you can and how much you want for them!!!
