    IS it worth spending 50 on a melting pot and 30 a mold ? Way i see it you can buy a years worth of weigtht for that price... Unless i were to sell packs after making them - i do have about 8 5 gallon buckets worth..... Also FLUX ? Im confused like welding?
  2. Anyone know about making fishing weights out of old lead wheel weights? Im a mechanic and have TONS AND TONS of old wheelweights in the garrage have had a few people come by and ask for them - was thinking Id try it - looked at a melting pot and molds but seemed to cost more than its worth ... that and are fishing weights still made from lead? If you know a good site to get the stuff to make the weights at a lower price than Bass Pro please pm me,
  3. With the tough economic times and grocerys going up in price... Im wondering what fish would make a good meal. Im looking for somthing easy to catch (Other than Catfish) that makes good food and where could I find information on how to catch them? Any Recipee's would be nice as well.

    Welcome to the #1 Site on the net
  5. Wow thats a bargin Simplejoe... but dont you ever get run off their property ??
  6. You may be right marty but i created this in intrest to see what people prefer and give them a chance to name their top lures (Rather than what kind - that would make a good pole maybe) but the brand and color was more to see where they were from and what works for them in that area. Just thought it would be intersting.
  7. Well this isnt my post but thanks for the info that has helped me out a ton - Especialy the visual aid and BR library.
  8. PERFECT - GOT IT 110% Now thanks so much im gona try this out this weekend on wiley will update and let you know how it works for me .
  9. Agreed Raul now.... List those 600 Crankbaits 100 Spinnerbaits etc... and we are in business Im intersted in knowing what everyone Recomends specificly not just " Jigs Spinnerbaits and crankbaits " What Brand / Type of jig spinnerbaits etc.
  10. Thanks RW that helped out alot i have read just about everything in the library (Which your right is EXCELENT) however am still a little confused on the " Trailor " If i use a jig with a weed guard and skirting lets say brown with white flakes, would i put a brown zoom worm on the hook as well? This to me doesnt seem to follow what people are saying about adding a trailor makes the jig fall slower... or are trailors somthing i dont know about that are sold at BPS for this purpose only.. Thanks for your help - And sorry im so slow.
  11. Where do you find video's such as the listed above? I know BPS has instructional videos but for research where might one find videos like that?
  12. Just interested in what yall think " EVERY FISHERMAN/Woman" Should try and or keep in their boxes. Not intersted in " Jigs " Or " Spinnerbaits " But WHAT KIND Do you use and WHY - What do you reccomend ... I would recomend Gary Yam, Custom Baits 5in Senko In Watermellon Everyone should try these on a texas Rig... Now yall's turn (Try to put brand and whre to get them if its not common)
  13. Hey i was told a Jig would work the best for the cold wether out here in NC - but was told to use a PORK TRAILOR to match in color. Can someone elaborate on this? First of all what jig should i use and second what is a trailor? and what is pork? (I know they arent refering to baccon) . Thanks PS if anyone has a pic of one riged this way it might help.
  14. Hey try at BPS - they got a Rod and reel when you spin the handle it lights up with rainbow colors was gona buy one for my wife but she reminded me she was 23 not 3 ..... Oopse forgot was too intersted in getting to the lake.
  15. Hey all - Im in Matthews (Charlotte Area) Fishing at local parks and ponds somtimes Lake Wiley and the Catawba River, but im not having any luck at all. Its been since November 4th I caught my last bass and ive tryed everything - Got the SLOW DOWN part ... I cast wait 30 seconds reel 1X count to 40 reel 2x wait 30 half a reel ... and so on with differant combos. Mostly Texas riged Zoom Cottoncandy (Worked this time last year) can anyone give me a good combo that will work - some of the guys out here say the bass have lockjaw and wont bite right now because of the colder weather however I dont believe them. Someone from NC PLEASE help me out (Or anyone who knows what im doing wrong) is there a specific bait that will work this time of year out here and if so where can i get one - I just need to pull somthing in other than weeds.
  16. THANKS - was just about to hit that site - does anyone know where i can order the BBZ-1 Shad 4 inch swimmer other than thier site ???
  17. Was wondering if it was possible to find a decent boat to fish lake norman and wiley arround north carolina for under a Grand. I know thats not much for a boat and im constantly checking Craigslist (Spoted a few OLD OLD OLD .... boats if u can call it that) but was wondering how much an averange jon boat could be built for or am i stuck with an inflatable ....
  18. NICE! This is what im looking for - Does it fit in a truck bed or do you need a trailor for it I drive a Ford Ranger ... so hopefully it fits - looks alot like a POND POWLER from BPS. Also do you have to tag these boats to take them on the lakes ???
