Lincoln stuff

[TubeDude]

I haven't tried making the big ones yet, Just the medium size. That's why want to buy some from you. I think mine are starting to look ok. I just need a couple of days of fair wether so I can camp in a tent at Lincoln Beach. I will email you. 

The paint jobs look great.  Two thoughts.  One is that the hooks look like regular jig hooks.  If you can find some big 4/0 or 5/0 heavy bass jig hooks...at least 2X strong...they will hold up better against big kitties.  I scored a bunch of the big 8/0 hooks I use for the Kong fligs and I will gladly sell you a few at a good price if you want some.

Second, on the bigger hooks you can use a longer piece of foam.  Get a 1.5" thick pad...or cut a 1.5" - 2" piece off the end of your 1" pad and then cut plugs down through that piece from the side.  Attached is a pic of how I make 2" plugs.  Use the same principle for 1.5" plugs cut from 1" foam pads.
