Jeez shockwave..it takes me 2 decades to break 4 rods. Maybe you should get ugly stix or get rid of that horrible avatar! ?

What a beautiful dog...

Spinnerbaits,cranks (after removing split ring) (unless line tie is sunk into lip) jerks , rattle,bladebaits, bladed jigs, scroungers, buzzbaits. All jigs, soft plastics, and topwaters I tie direct. Works for me...

Nice!

Nice work Allen..how much does your spinnerbait weigh? And is it on a compact frame?

No "collectors" there, those should be fished with. I can't enlarge pic but left column looks liks bomber, 2 bigs on the right norman.

Knowing your and your boats ability/ limitations would decrease a lot of danger, but accidents can happen without fault. Way2slo: I would guess that 100% of people that have a 20'/250hp rig is not their first boat....

That is the downside of airbrush painting - the clean-out between colors. It would make me wish I was painting a dozen at a time. And I really don't need a dozen of anything (the same color) unless it were jigheads. It is fun painting though...

Thanks way2slow for all the information. I am sure you helped a bunch of folk...

Team99 to the rescue...again.

Tr46..there is a good reason power loading is illegal at some ramps up here in the north. It blows out the lake bottom behind the cement slab, and if you back down too far, your axle falls into the abyss, making it Very difficult to pop that trailer back on the ramp. Probabally impossible with a tandem axle trailer...

That is a silly question. I assume you meant floating or sinking. Elaztech , "trick" worms, or custom poured that say floating. All others sink at various speeds.

I think the paint looks fine right now..

Don't be afraid Arlo...weeds will gather at the line tie before they get to the trailer hook...and free - swinging is kind of a misnomer. It really doesn't, it basically stays in - line with the main hook anyways.

The ONLY way the Lions get in the superbowl is with a ticket. ???

It's worth it if you think it is. In the right hands, yes it is worth it. In my hands, not so much...

Fun read...keep 'em coming.

I want glasses that show whatever is on my graph at the moment, and could scroll / change screens. (Voice activated} Might as well be able to work troll motor with said glasses also...

If I were a young man , I would get into pouring my own plastics or jigs. At 62, I just wouldn't get my $$ worth. I don't need any color that is not commercially available and if I need jigheads I just buy them. Soft plastic pouring looks like SO MUCH FUN though...

Sorry to hear that Tom..thoughts your way. When I was under 25 or so - I liked to fish with dad or with friends. Although I never fished tourneys, I watched them on tv., and unfortunately. none of my friends were into it as much as I was. From25 to 55 I preferred to fish by myself or with someone new to fishing. Now i'm back to wanting to fish with someone and usually do.

we watched the Ghoul on Saturday nights, who hosted bad movies and did a lot of in-studio stuff. I think he was from ohio. Locally, we had Sir Graves Ghastly that basically did the same thing, but not as zany. 70's...?

Rw is having an acid flashback....?

Chartruese/white laminate Kinami's are my favorite...

Good luck Mike, hope it works out for you...
