This right here pretty much sums it up. Making baits and "value/cost" all depends on how you value your time. If you have alot of extra time and enjoy this type of stuff it is well worth it. On the savings part, this can vary. Just a plain round ball jig costs you about 30 cents to make with a premium hook. TO buy it its around 50-60 each sometimes more. Bass jigs, this is where you can spend alot of time and money if you want. You can add all the neat pretty details like eyes, sparkles, thicker skirts, etc. A basic bass jig costs approx $1 to make with a premium hook. if you buy bulk its cheaper. but you have alot of excess materials that sit for awhile. Also alot of product like hooks are sold by the 100. Sometimes you can find them by quantities less then 100 but the price is rediculous. One of the best benifits is you can make anything you want. Colors are endless. There is nothing better then hauling in a big fish off something you have made.

Yeah I know what ya mean. I actually do some work for once and miss out on something. Thats what i get for working. ;D

Hmm, I didnt think the question would genrate this much attention. I read all the posts and didnt even realize some of the intensity that goes into either fishing type. The question wasnt ment to point anyone out or degrade any style of fishing. Just a question that helps me understand the drastic end of the spectrum. There are very good points above presenting the plee for one fisherman or the other. Honestly there isnt a right answer I dont believe, except the few about who enjoys fishing the most.

a jitterbug is one of my favorites to c rig. ;D Ok I'm just kidding on that one Here are my favorite c rig baits lizard beaver type 4" worm sometimes i will c rig tubes or 10" worms

WOW thats all I go is WOW or Holy COW. Monsters.

the new season of 24 starts. 8eastern 7 central, its 2 hrs long. If you guys need me I will be glued to my tv. If you cant tell I've only been waiting for this for about 5 months.

Why? (I don't mean to sound rude... just wondering ) I dont know for sure on hooks but I know it will take blueing off a gun. I just want to be on the safe side and not learn the hard way.

Here is how I typically fish a carolina rig Main line 17-20lb line leader depends on clearity but mostly 10-12lb flourocarbon. I fish alot of clearer water thats the main reason for the flouro. also clearer the water longer the leader. The reason for the lighter leader is so if you hang the hook all you will typically lose is the hook. I always use a heavier main line then leader

here is who will win the games this weekend Colts vs Ravens Ravens Eagles vs Saints Saints Bears vs Seahawks Da Bears Chargers Vs Pats Obvious the Chargers.

that is awsome. How'd you make the skirt?

I put some silica packs in with my hooks and havent had a problem yet. I havent seen any rust. I also make sure when I put hooks back in there they are completely dry. BTW put the silica packs in a seperate compartment not touching the baits.

I was contemplating this last night on the drive home from work after reading the BPS catalog. I saw KVD holding up a fish that looks about 3-4lbs maybe with a huge smile on his face. It got me thinking. Leaving out money and prestige, who is better. Someone that catches fewer fish but they are GINORMOUS or someone on tour that can go out and just catch 5 sometimes that might be 12" or on occasion 5-6lbs, every once in awhile something bigger. I know this is more of a question that is in the eye of the beholder but it got me wondering your answers.

I doubt the seahawks win. The bears are super bowl bound. I dont perticularly care for either team but the bears will be in the super bowl.

I'm with Brad on this one. A lure. Whats wrong buddy not feelin good or you mistakenly finish the cart and shiping info before noticing you only bought 1?

This is one of those questions that I dont think there is a "fact" answer too. Just what has worked for you in the past. Some how I can go out and throw a 5" rogue and catch a 6" fish. Or I can throw a finesse jig and catch a 6lb fish. :-? I believe this question there is no true answer to except the generalized answer of its all in Location you fish and the speed at which you fish combined with the conditions at the present.

Well, I caught less fish then in 05 but the size difference was dramatical. I caught more bigger fish this year then ever before. I have also focused more on bigger fish then just catching fish.

I'm shootin for a 8lber largemouth. I doubt I fish anywere with smallies of any size this year.

Well I met both of those. I caught several around 6 oz. and I caught one right at about 7.5. 07 I'm shootin for 8+

Awsome lookin jigs

Just awsome Harshman.

Thats kind of an extreme song rework. Thats almost like someone singing operah as a rapper. It just wouldnt work. No thanks Dont worry I wont be buying that.

Stamina is awsome check out their other stuff too. They are cheaper then most other places on just about everything. Plus they have free shipping on 100 dollar order. Wow that sounded like an advertisement I like mustad triple grips and the diichis too.

There is no wrong way to fish a senko style bait. Lately I have been fishing one on a shakey rig and a regular jig head. I havent caught anything off it but I know I will. Like Raul said if your not expermenting your missing out.

I know some sites have affiliates that when you purchase from them the website/owner gets a percentage of the sale to that company. The reason for asking is 2 questions. 1. If you have this feature I will order from the banners for BPS stuff and all of us could contribute to Glenn if we did this. 2. What are all of the sites affiliates. I know of a few when I see the banners but if I'm to slow I miss them. Is there a listing anywhere of them? I've looked but cant seem to find them.

Honestly it would probably cost more to have someone from there call you and question you about it then to just forget about it. Would they expect you to pay shipping back to them? Thats nuts if they did.
