big shakin
Cast Industries make these. Let me know what you think. They don't have them listed on their website, but if you PM me your email address I'll send you their Catalog (I'd send it over BR, but it's pretty large). The one downside to them is that the smallest quantity you can order is 50 of one size and one color. There is NO mix and match of sizes, color, etc. But think of it this way, you can stockpile your supply. I just put in an order with these guys for a couple hundred jig heads. They can also Customize the jig head to a certain point.

Need help: Finesse Jigs w/ quality hooks
All my finesse applications are fished on: Powell 702C PowerPro 10lb test w/ 20 lb fluorocarbon leader (about 16" long) The jig I'm looking for needs to be: 1) 3/16oz -5/16oz (3/16 if possible) 2) Jig head profile needs to be pointy (similar to swim-jig head profile) to rip through weeds. I usually stay away from football head. 3) The skirt needs to be mostly round rubber (90%) and the rest sylicone. No mylar. What do you guys think about River2Sea Junk Grenades? http://www.***.com/descpageJIGR2S-RSJG.html Why in the world are you using 20# flouro for a finesse jig??? :-? I think this might be your problem. I think you should fix your setup before you go blaming your jig hook. Finesse jigs have "Finesse" hooks so your drag should be adjusted to compensate for that. That is just my .02 cents. I use 20# braid with a 6-10# flouro leader for all my finesse jigging. Usually a round ball head around 3/16-7/16 and a light wire hook.

Mercury... 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
Be sure to take in your lake rules when debating on a motor. I know in the lovely state of California, we have many lake that have a ban on 2 stroke motors.... Just something to think about

Why would Tackle Warehouse do this?

Hand Tying Jigs?
I started making my own jigs and am wondering what kind of material you are using for hand tying your jigs. Also what kind of knot are you using. Currently i'm just using some braid that I have left over and am using 3 overhand knots. Since i'm a noobie at this, I don't know what is the norm for tying them. As far as material goes, I was looking for some sort of material that is black. Currently i'm using green braid and my "OCD"ness is making me sharpie the braid after I tie it. Any help on this would be great. Thanks guys.

Is this excessive?
.. for timing that perfect. You now how BR censors words like "A$$h0!e" to read "I'm a dork". I wonder if we can bribe them to censor "Bait Monkey" to something like "This quote is getting old" or "Think of something original"

North Carolina....sounds like they did you a favor : It's like the old saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". That does suck man, I know when I was in school, $40 was like a fortune to me. Thats 10 lunches, or 30 sodas, or a expensive date. Sorry man :-[

I just don't get this when a daredevil dies
LOL @ "desensitized" ;D Another thing that I think plays a role in this, is if you can relate to how the person died. As an avid Dirt bike rider, I can relate to his passion and what he did. I understand the thrill and adrenaline he got from riding bikes. Or maybe it could be if you've seen him on T.V, etc. But if you told me a middle-aged man in Antarctica died from a broken blood vessel that he received while playing racquetball against a monkey.... well I have no relation to any of this, so I just might shrug it off

I just don't get this when a daredevil dies
I 100% agree with you. VERY well said. No matter how a person dies I still feel sad. I had a close friend that died from lung cancer because he was a heavy smoker... am I supposed to not feel sad because "Smoking is bad for you" and it's a stupide choice. H$ll no, it was very sad!!! Muddy - Obviously everyone has different emotions when it comes to death, maybe it's just because you did not know him. Maybe if this happened to somebody you knew (Hopefully it NEVER does) you might feel some sort of "Sadness" for him/her. Just a thought.

Have you gotten your 2009 BPS Master Catalog yet?
I'm SOOOOO tired of them sending me catalogues. They have sent me three... count it 1 2 3 master fishing catalogues already this year. I'm sick of it. The last one they sent me, I soaked the pages with Pro's Soft Bait Glue and did a return to sender. The money these idiots spend on this crap is ridiculous. What makes it worse is I've called them twice and told them NOT to mail me anything. I guess this is their sick prank to p!$$ me off. > >
