Use the reel magic. It will help tremendously.

When I start spooling on new line, I spray reel magic to the bare spool on the reel. I give it a good dose. Then add the line and stop every once...

Thanks Slabmaster for the mention. I need to update my website as I'm not pouring these for sale to the public any more.

Everyone liked the heads, but nobody liked the price. :d

If you pour...

I have no problem holding my Lund 1900 Pro-V steadily in 20MPH +. I don't like to do it, but I can. I've been fishing a hump for sandbass in 25MPH+ winds with waves crashing over the bow and...

I agree with someone else who posted here. The sickle hooks are a.) very sharp and b.) you will hook almost every fish right through the nostril.

I pour my own and for my customers, depending on...

I think your interpretations on the 1st set are correct.
1st pic_ Ball of bait just over and to the right of what looks like could be a very small piece of cover

I think he's talking about a fluid bed for painting baits.

The "pourous" material in a fluid bed would be the powder paint I believe.

Am I right? What did I win? :D

I don't know how you tell for real, other than during the spawn. But every so often I'll have a youngster client in the boat and we'll catch a crappie that has some red around their lips. You've...

In hand tied Jigum Jigs I use straight chartreuse, white chartreuse the majority of the time.

In tubes, I will use straight chartreuse, black/chartreuse, blue/white.

In bubble bellies/stubby...

You can still hold it by the eye. The problem sounds like, just like NJ said, you are leaving too much paint on the head. Tap them real good (I do it back on the side fo the jar) by tapping my...

"Careful with that axe Eugene." :D

The first time I tried powder painting jig heads, I went by their recommended method of using an alchohol burning candle. Melted that lead right off the hook. ...

Skip, check with Sheldon on the TFF as he just had installed the 997 (?). The big, bad boy side imaging thing. And one thing's for sure about Sheldon, he's going to do his research first. :D ...

Yes you can. Two options. Powder paint is I think the easiest option. The second option is spray on paint like Krylon. But you'll have to put a white or gray base coat on first, then your color...

Posting for a friend. Email me at [email protected] for their contact information please if you are interested. Boat is in great shape. Just got it back from Advantage Marine where it was...

It's okay as long as you were thinking about fishing for crappie while you were bass fishing. Isn't that the rule? :D

I don't really want to talk about this as the karma god's are surely watching.

But I went through a stretch where on every outing I was breaking a rod. Not just the tips either...like in half. ...

Power Pro has a Hi Vis line.

Stren has gold line.

I use Wally's Hi Vis.

I think most of the line manufactures now have a high visibility line.

I've been on the lake, in the middle of the lake, a couple of times and seen someone fall in or trying to get back in their boat.

One time a guy was at the back of his boat trying to get back in...

There was a thread a while back about folks using 5 gallon buckets and just putting some chunk rock in them to sink them. They put out a whole bunch in an area kind of like stake beds.
It'll be...

crappieday, you know where I'm at on this. :D

I'm doing about the same as you. Just counted from invoices last year and did a smidge over 15,000.

Let me know if we can get together.

Also try to get with someone who does remodels in hospitals. They pull lead off of the walls in X-Ray rooms. The lead is nice and soft and comes in sheets like paneling. Usually there is some...

That would be perfect. No rush. Thanks for your help in advance.

Nj, can you explain how you made your fluid bed?
Thanks

Crappieday, you have a PM.

I've done this just experimentaly, but as a rule I don't do it anymore. I haven't found that eyes make any difference one way or another. That's just my personal opinion.

However, if you are...

First thing I would do is check your same locations, but pull out to a little deeper. Crappie will spawn deep(er) also.

Then I would start checking other locations of the lake....lower and...

Skip has a good point that the Roadrunners will come unwrapped on you. I've used some on occasion before that I was still catching fish on them without any chenille. That must mean that the spinner...

I use a combination of things for bank walking when I do that. It all starts with a hydration vest from William Joseph. If you go to http://www.williamjoseph.net/index.html and then to...

I think the Roadrunner is one of the best "all around" baits on the market. I also think that they have a time and place. I use them mainly for casting as I don't want 99 cents or more getting lost...

Thansk for the replies everybody.

Jerry, I'll probably hit you up when my schedule clears out a little bit. Already excited...just can't tell if it's cause I'm gettin' the heck out of dodge for...

cool. Thanks again.
