Middle School Plug Masters

I watched Kraemer in awe as she precisely turned and sanded a popper that was as proportioned and well-tapered as some I have in my surf bag.

 

At the end of last school year, when Poole found out he would be taking on sixth- and seventh-graders, he needed a hook. He was sitting on a beach, thinking about how he could tie his love of fishing into his lesson plan, when the idea struck. Why not teach them how to make plugs? So Poole approached Tom White, a long-time friend and an expert plug builder, about having his classes turn lures. White was more than happy to help him learn the craft and map out what it would take to get the shop set up.
