Fliggin' Fish Porn (WITH VIDEO)

I knew that you would come up with an alternative to the rods.  Most excellent.  I want to start making some popping bugs for bluegills and green sunfish and the cost of those rods is scary.  I'll give the pads a try !!  Do you apply an abrasive to the ends of the rods to cut or just use pressure and the drill ???

The first plugs I cut...many long years ago...I just pushed and twisted until the punch worked through the foam.  Now I put the tube in a drill and run it over a whetstone or fine file until it is pretty sharp.  Then it cuts down through the foam like hot butter with the drill...and the sides come out super smooth.   By the way, those little foam goodies make some great poppers.  And you can modify the shape to make hoppers, crickets or beetles too.  And with a needle and some rubber filament you can add some wiggly legs.

Hold  on a bit if you can.  I am collecting pics from the past and making a whole bunch of new ones for an instructional video on Flig Making.  But here are a couple of pics to "pic" your interest.

 

Oh yeah, you would be welcome to visit for a personal demo.  I'd be glad to punch out some starter plugs for you to play with.  I usually keep a bunch of the different sizes I use most...and I make them in batch mode.
