Fishdoc’s” Plugs Work Their Magic

Welcome to my web site!

I make custom wooden plugs one at a time....FOR THE FISH!  All plugs are made from the finest materials and components.  All are through drilled, sealed, primed and painted.   They are epoxy coated and come in fish catching colors.  Large plugs are up to 9 inches weighing 2–4 oz. Jointed plugs are longer, up to 12+ inches and vary in weight.  Smaller plugs are 4 to 6 inches and weigh 1.5–2.5 oz.

 

I am not trying to "reinvent the wheel".  "Tweaking" a plug is more my ambition to improve it's action.  My plugs have survived the test of time and I or fishing friends have caught fish on all styles.

 

The colors that I use are those that have consistently produced year after year, AND I FISH OFTEN!  If you were to ask I'd say WHITE, YELLOW, BLUE, BLACK, RED, and SILVER .   I have noted over the past 50+ years that these colors and various combinations of them produce the majority of the fish I and friends catch.  However, I do make some specialty colors that have proven their worth.  Examples would be squid color variations, copper, silver, gold and multiple hues of green and even a "secret" color or 2.  Not much of a secret once I sell one.

NEEDLEFISH (1.5-3oz) 

One of my favorite plugs to fish, day or night.   They are sized and painted to "Match the Hatch".  Most are of the sinking variety, but if you've ever fished needles you know that even a sinking type can be fished on or near the surface.  I do make a limited number of floating needlefish most in "blurple"  (black/purple) for night fishing in shallow, rock-strewn waters. Needlefish are one of the most versatile and easy to fish plugs ever made.

Prices from top "standard" (7 inch) $16.00, Stuby and John's Fatty  needles to $15.00 and 9 inch needles (not shown) $18.00 

A special note: The John's Fatty was made in memory of John Trotta a member of my surf casting club who developed the style.
