  1. put a med bill on that middle one and that would be one heck of a crankster.
  2. I can do that. My camera does have that. I think what happended is when I cropped the pics they distorted.
  3. You are asking a density question. Denser a liquid slower the fall. The actual fall rate might be so little you wont be able to tell a difference. I think it would go something like this though. slowest to fastest cold muddy cold clear warm muddy warm clear
  4. Been there done that got the bumper sticker. I fully agree with Roadwarrior.
  5. I think of this one every time I pour. Especially plastics. I'm just waiting for the cop to come knocking on the door at gun point and me just pouring plastics. I look like Darth Vader in there with all my gear on. Anyway, I've been thinking about Chris's little episode and really cant figure it out. The only things I can think of is the oven temp is way off or he has some very tinned up lead. Reason I brought up the celcius temp is a lady here said she baked some rolles on 375 celcius. Which is like 600 deg f.
  6. RULE NUMBER 1 SAFETY FIRST Lead melts at approx 621 deg. F. You do not want it to touch you. Be careful of alloys. Please read all the safetey instructions for pouring according to manufactures. Plenty of ventilation and use a good quality respirator. This is how I make them. There may be better ways or just different ways of making a jig head. I've spent alot of time developing this system and it works for me. You may find a reason to modify some of my steps to fit your needs or tools. Step 1 The tools needed: Pouring pot. Mold Hooks Pliers Base hole pins Safety equipment Step 2 Place the hook and base hole pin into the mold as shown and close. Step 3 Holding the mold closed tightly pour the lead down the center of the hole filling the cavity and trying to avoid over flow. A good pour will turn out as pictured Step 4 Remove the jig head from the mold with the pliers to avoid being burned by the hot lead. Set aside and let cool. Step 5 Remove the burr on the top of the jig and remove the base hole pin from the jighead. This can be done with the pliers. Sometimes you will have too rotate the pin out. Basic Painting All I use is powder paint. A few notes about it. You will need an oven preferably one with a good temp control. Lead melts at approx 621 deg. F. Place alumininum foil under heads to catch the drips. #1 heat the jighead to 350deg F. Reason I use this temp is because it is the recommended curing temp for protec powder paint colors I use. Make sure your temps follow the instructions on the paint. After the jig heads are heated remove I quickly remove the head and insert the pin as pictured. Be extremely careful and wear the same equipment as when you poured the head. Once you have inserted the pin quickly insert the jig head into the loose powder paint and shake it then quickly remove and knock off the excess by hitting the hook on the side ove the container without knocking it over. Remove the pin and then place the head on a holder. I use an old archery arrow supported on both sides and let cool. Do not let the heads touch or they will stick together. A good light coat will look like this The main trick to getting an even coat of powder paint is having extremely loose powder before dipping the heated head into the paint. A fluid bed works great for this but not everyone needs one. ** Notice the paint around the eyelet of the hook and how thin it is. If it turns out like this head you should not need to knock it out. If the paint is caked on the eyelet you will need to remove it before curing. If not. Good luck. When removing the paint sometimes you can use just your finger nail or on some of them you will need to use an eye buster(recommended). Just be careful not to hit the side of the head. The powder paint is very fragile at this state. After you finish painting and cleaning eyelets now you will need to cure them. Since your oven is already heated you can just put them into the oven and let them cure to the recommended temp. Once that is completed let them cool and you are ready to glue in the weedguards. I use epoxy because real light glue like super glue will run up the fibers and glue it together. Some completed heads Good luck and please feel free to ask questions.
  7. I posted a pic of my hawg I caught in MY OUTINGS and I think it was so big it took all the bandwidth. So I deleted it. ;D I wonder if maybe how many people are cruising here at a given time causes a lag at times.
  8. I pretty much have one but I dont comb it up. It lays forward or sticks up when it wants too. I hate long hair. I'm 28 and havent even hit my prime yet. ;D
  9. this morning it lagged but I dont know if that was my puter or the board. Going good now though.
  10. barlows is one of my favorites
  11. Dont feel bad about the almost puking deal. Some dont have the stomach for it. I have to field dress my buddies deer because he cant. I've seen what happens to him. After cleaning a few it doesnt take long at all with a good knife. 5 min at the most. Awsome deer dude. Really cool.
  12. I dont believe in the no mercy. After a whoopin like that the Redskins need to reevaluate where they are and where the league is at. With that said, I wouldnt have played my main team though. I personally would have sat them out to give the rookies a chance to learn and not risk an injury to the good players-- To me this is more embarrasing then being beat bad. GO COLTS 8-)
  13. wow. Like Jigman said we all have been there. I do not understand how you jigs melted. Was the oven set for celcius?
  14. Haahaa, Muddy. No thanks. No taquila for me. I stay away from it. I just had another thought I could take a M&M wrapper and tape it to my chest and go as emminem the wrapper.
  15. my plan was to wrap myself in wrapping paper. with this To: Women From: God
  16. My boat has a dual personality so I gave it 2 names Gonna run. I never know. and Always Broke self explanatory me and the boat
  17. 6 more games. I hope that was just a fluke. Rockies better step it up.
  18. I'm hoping they win.
  19. I dont smallie fish alot but I do love it. Almost all of my smallie fishing is with spinning tackle too. Lately I've been throwing more lighter line for largies too. With the use of spinning tackle. I still dont use spinning for heavy line applications and never will. Lighter presentations spinning is a must imo. I prefer spinning but throw bc more because of structure.
  20. I really dont shop at BPS. Never been real happy with them. Not getting into it though. Anyway. If this was a mailed back product it will take time to process. Really depends on load of returns to them. Reason more then likely for the run around is no one can give you a definate answer until the refund is processed. The only thing they can give is estimates. This goes with any company and return.
  21. I still have some laying around somewhere too. never been opened. Now I just pour some plastics if I plan on throwing them. I dont have hardley any plastics anymore. Maybe 3 plano boxes. The rest I just pour a days usage and leave it at that.
  22. Ahhh, I see you have evolved into a jig fisherman. Your plastics just sit there when the slow feed bite is on. If its not then you go for the reaction bite on cranks and spinnerbaits. Yup same happened to me.
  23. wish I could find me some of these. I'd sell every single one on ebay.;D
  24. Very very tough one. I'm going with the Colts
