Let's See Ya Stuff

[BrianFocker]

Hey guys - As mentioned in my other thread, I am very new to plastics and want to learn. It was suggested that I start a thread giving everyone the opportunity to show us what they use and for what and where. The idea is to post a picture of the plastics you use and give a new guy some insight into it. I will even make a template

This is also my favourite:cheer: Especially in pumkinseed, they seam to catch everything

Might not be the best to start with as you need to impart all of the action into the lure

[BrianFocker]

Maybe I should have put something in there about action too - Feel free to add anything about that you like

The stuff that has been posted is a great start guys - Love it
