I have been tying jigs for a while now and looking for some suggestions on what foam to use to keep the jigs in place in the case. I have styrofoam but find it messy to cut. I also use polyethylene...

Thx Jawjatek -- that's what it was -- took it apart, cleaned it out and works fine -- many thx.

Thanks my friend. The one concern I have is that shimano doesn't (apparently) warranty purchases made through the likes of an Amazon or ebay. They will only warranty items made through brick and...

Its a Sedona model. Will try and see (as referenced above) whether line may still be caught up inside the reel. But, after reading so many unhappy stories about Shimano reels, I don't know. I do have...

No. Didn't get wet. I just chalked it up to line getting into the reel itself. But when reading other threads I saw the same complaints although from different models.

I just got back from a week of fishing at beautiful Black Lake in NY. I was casting a light (possibly 1/48th ounce) hair jig from my new Shimano reel when the line caught up (became slack) and while...

Ok -- so question -- i just purchased two Strike King Banshee Series spinner baits -- they come with plastic safety coverings on the main hook and trailer hook -- I just had a not so pleasant time...

Looking to purchase an Eagle Claw Featherlight Spinning rod/ 2 piece 6 foot -- what reel would you pair with this purchase? -- your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

I think you have a point. I saw a guy once (on you tube) catch fish with his own beard hair.

Agreed. It, like fishing itself, is very addicting but in a good way. There are so many negative things in our culture today that can bring us down. It is just so rewarding to sit, relax and make...

I like the body -- what is it?

Thx for the replies !! I enjoy the give and take of this site !!

Wow -- that is fabulous Skip !!! I mean if I was a fish, I'd bite that too.

I would really love to see a fellow angler who makes his/her own jigs post a you tube showing his/her experiences fishing that jig on the water. I see some great homemade jigs here but do they really...

excellent suggestions -- never thought of the mouse pad idea !!

Thx Skip -- u have been verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry helpful !

thx skip -- where did you get the foam and what size did you get -- was it strong enough to hold your lures upright?

Thx Tsdunigan -- where did you get the foam? Is it sturdy enough to hold your jigs upright?

I think many of us have a "slippers" story. Mine was back in November. Let me give you the play by play. 1. put slippers on 2. start going down carpeted stairs 3. carpet stairs and slippers equals...

I'm not sure how I got the bug but I know I had the itch and decided that winter was not going to be wasted but invested by doing something I really enjoyed doing. So I started reading and studying...

Thanks all -- Your suggestions are all welcome.

Thx Disco . I really appreciate the response. I am new to both jig tying and hair jig fishing. So responses are appreciated.

I enjoy making my own jigs (especially marabou) for crappie. Question for my fellow anglers and jig enthusiasts, when you fish your marabou jigs do you ...

1. tip your jigs with live bait and if...

Many thx for the suggestions -- I really appreciate the community spirit here !!!

I make my own hair jigs and am looking for a box that I can store them in other than the typical Plano compartment box where they just lay flat. Looking for something that maybe has some foam on the...

Ty for your service -- in 67/68 I was all of 13 years old unaware of what was going on in the world around me -- you are appreciated

My tackle box is hungry. It is saying ..."Feed me".

Yes! Christmas is a celebration of the most precious gift man can ever receive: eternal life through faith in Jesus our Lord. It is a remembrance of the day when a child was born who would be Saviour...

This is my first post. So, greetings to all. I started making my own lures mainly because it gives this retiree something to do over the winter months. Not to mention, it is also very relaxing. I...
