superweight senkos
I'm going to pour Generation 2 probably between now and the weekend. So I will see what happens. I use a hotplate so I dont have to worry about sparks in the wave. I will let you guys know thanks for the pointers

jig and trailer vs. jig head and plastic
IMO, I do not think that they are interchangeable. They do have specific purpose of each. When I need to go even smaller I will take off the jig and just fish the craw. I've never used any of the others with sucess on the back of a jig.

Running & Gunning vs. Taking your sweet time
You gotta know when to hold'em and you gotta know when to fold them. Or, if the fish are not there move. No reason to fish in dead water. Fish slow move fast.

Its all rigged
I got a gift certificate from cabelas for being a good customer and having one of their cc's. Well I couldnt let it go to waste so I ordered a falcon small crank box and a falcon soft plastic organizer. Yep I ended up owing them #. Does anyone have the falcon worm bags http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0023218119637a&type=product&cmCat=searchFeat&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=falcon&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=falcon&noImage=0 If so do you like them. I know their hard boxes are awsome.

Why buy something and worry about using it
I use'm but take care of them. My rods and reels all have scratches, dings, boat rash, and the TDX is chipped. Dont know how that one happened. Wow look at all his fancy stuff, it all looks new. I bet he has 100k invested. Whoopede doo Like Raul said its an honor for an expensive lure to be MIA. I buy high end for performance not beauty. Its a tool use it for what it was made for. I didnt buy that new shiny yellow dewalt drill to sit in the case to look at. ;D

Crankbaits..ask away!
When digging the bottom with a deeper diver why does the crank with the chewed up bill out perform a newer one. I've always wondered this. Some reason the chewed up and beat up cranks work better. Also do you prefer flourocarbon line for throwing cranks in clear water? A crankbait that says 12ft max with 10lb line how much on average would you gain/lose in depth if you +/- pound line by the next size? Please explain uses square bill round bill

Jigs
The finesse jig pictured is my favorite. I would recommend a jig in this style in 5/16 and 3/8. I doubt you will fish anything deeper then 15ft until you gain confidence in it. IMO, the finesse jigs work the best for all fish and are great confidence builders.

MY problem or site problem???
lil slow here but not near as bad as yesterday.

What technique or bait should you use...but dont ?
No kidding? You dont know what you're missing! Nope no kidding at all. That is one thing I will be trying out this year. Looks like I need to do some searching and researching on this new fanagled fancy wacky rig. PS. I thought the same on your tube response. Tubes are #2 bait for me right below the jig. They can be fished any way from topwater to dragging on the bottom and catch fish. IMO its the most versatile bait availabe for any water temp.

jigs for big fish in winter waters
I pretty much throw the same jig year round. A finesse jig eakins style for 90% of my jig fishing. I will either use silicone or round rubber skirts. I trim the skirts to about 1/4 past the hook and then thread on a 2" joesjigtrailer or zoom/eakings craw. this combo works for me year round. I'm talking temps from mid 30-80 degree waters.

What technique or bait should you use...but dont ?
Well, I guess it would have to be a wacky rig. Never used one that I can remember
-
What's your least favorite technique?
That is a tough one. It would be between a carolina rig or spoons. both work good and have thier place but I hate, absolutely hate fishing them.

speed fishing or finesse
This is a loaded question. I guess I am neither To me spot fishing is for beer drinking. Pull out the lawn chair and cooler and cast and wait for a bite. a consistent Running and gunning wastes to much time moving. But put them both together and you have something. I will run until I set a pattern and once that is done look for similar areas and fish slower. Or if the conditions are right and you have cruising fish I will just fish faster. No reason at all to fish dead water. There is to much productive water to fish. Remember 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water. Find the 10% running and slow down to catch the 90% of the fish. Sounds good in theory anyway.

Suggestion for Glenn and the Mods
That is a great suggestion Shad Master, but I understand why Glenn doesnt make the program changes. To every problem there is a solution. The way I see it Glenn already has this feature, not exactly like you are stating but with a little modifing we can adapt and conquer this dilima. If we make a post and sticky(possible) it called November outings for example. Then take the fishing reports/log and each one of us that add to it just post it up in the topic and we can follow along. Its not exactly what your looking for but it might work. I would be interested in perticipating in this because we all can use each others info for similiar conditions. Just might work!

is anyone else?

Perfect cure for the Bait Monkey

I Hate BPS
Well, I guess getting BPS junkmail is better then all the ones I get from bad email accounts I cant block because I cant block topics only addresses. I understand you pain though. I'm not really a BPS fan either.
-
1st run of plastic making
very steady and slow pour. That is the hardest part of that whole lure because of how thin they are.
-
BSR852 GLX what reel to pair with it?

OK? Who DID IT?
I blame Raul for everything I buy and he says good purchase. Then we laugh and go on to the next purchase. Oh by the way I named my baitmonkey Raul. ;D

Brain storming lure concept
I'm going to make my on lure from other parts of soft plastics. What I'm looking for is some ideas that will help me out along the way in the look of a lure. Here is what I'm thinking right now creature style. Approx lenth 4" crawfish claws/profile bigger bulk body open to any good idea.
