6oz. Thats my prediction I dont want to curse myself. Hopefully I will catch one over 7.5lbs though that would break my PB and I have 2 great lakes to break it in.

awsome, looks really

Here is what I do, Fish a jig either black or black blue with a matching trailer. If that doesnt work throw a tube, I have been doing well off white tubes in muddy water. If that doesnt work here is what I suggest

Well the results are in, after fishing after 3 t storms in 3 days here is what I found after the 1st, fishing was good with the stained water the fish pulled shallow after the 2nd the fish were still shallow and the water was muddy after the 3rd the fish had enough and wouldnt bite

:-? my productivity at work might go up.

Good idea I agree

here is a horrible picture of a fiberglass reproduction on my wall. It was alot more then a skin mount but she is still swimmin.

IMO there are several great hooks. Owner, gammy, mustad needle point to name a few

That sounds about right 60 cents each for a standard jig head. Thats about the going rate for most jigheads with a premium hook IMO do it molds are the best. Thats all I use. If you have the lead all you will be out is the price of the mold, melter, hooks, time. Sounds like you already have the melter so for what you would pay for 60jigheads you can get all the material for making 100 of them. Mostly depends on the hook you get. mold $28, mustad needle point hooks $12 for 100 (approx) depends on style

If it was me I wouldnt invest more than 50 bucks in it. Just make sure the size hooks you use will be acceptable by the vice and the vice has a rotating head.

You can basically spend as much as you want to on a stand. Here are a few http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/fly-tying-vises/ To make a silicone skirt or living rubber skirt with a collar I just use a skirt making tool that looks like a pair of reverse pliers.

barlows, jansnetcraft,and stamina should have everything you need I use silicone and living rubber for all of my bass jigs. I really like the looks of the barbwire silicone. It's more expensive then standard silicone strips. All I make are bass jigs. now if your talking hair jigs craft stores might have the stuff you need. most of the time bucktail is used or marabou. its more time consuming to tie also, but does give you a different style of jig.

the only time I use rattles is in muddy water. Otherwise i dont see a reason too.

yeah I forgot to say dont fish in lightning, not a real good idea

Since we are coming upon the thunderstorm season I thought this would be a good question. Typically how do bass react to thunderstorms. Whats your experience with them.

Yup the baitmonkey and I are good friends, finds me all kinds of tackle I dont need

on the small ones I use the the fins as support to hold them, others I just grab them in the mouth or gill plate, If you grab them in the mouth be prepaired for cuts if you dont have a good set of gloves

Well, I guess I will let you know how I to this evening. I will be in the boat on the lake in exactly 30 minutes. Rods and Reels and tackle in the truck packed this morning.

Topwater, then jig, or 10.5 ol monster worm

I just bought another poison tail jig mold to make smaller jigs. Cant wait until it gets here to see what they look like. I'm going broke waiting for spring to get here.

I've got a old 81 Ranger with a 135 black max. Its beat up but gets the job done.

I've Goose hunted in that area and it looks real good for fishing. Lots of gravel, chunkrock, and standing weeds and brush. Just never fished there.

Ditto that I would like to know too?

I just bought the same pot you did and can see how that can happen very easily. Its such a small hole that the lead comes out of. But the melter is awsome. Saves so much time and I hardly ever have a bad cast. Good to hear its up and running again.
