Nice! I have a dropshot minnow design too LOL it's a small minnow but has a huge paddle style tail. I'll dig out all my stl files and post them up here so everyone can use them. On my PC at home so it will be tomorrow until I get them up.

Xbox... Especially since the new ones came out. Had you asked this a year ago, I would have been PS3 all the way. Plus, you get Gears of War with Xbox... That series is worth a Locust's weight in gold :)

I'm going to CNC some Corian for molds, then pour the resin in those. Don't know which resin to try yet... Each has their strengths and weaknesses. I'd like to try one that will float without any additives, but other than that, I'm open to anything! I'm going to use all this PVC I have to hand make some swimbaits I'll get some pics up once I get one started. I may keep messing with the replicator, I just don't have the money right now to buy a router (I think that will work a lot better than this dremel!).

Thanks man! I have the project that far... Now I just need to figure out how to make them quicker (and more cleanly... This dremel isn't going to cut it (no pun intended). I just won't smooth because it's not dead on 100% straight when it cuts). I may go back to the drawing board with this, make some molds and pour some resin. I'll send you the files anyway so you can play around with them if you wish... I also have some soft plastic molds modeled if you want to play with them. What file format do you need? You can do whatever you want with whatever you cut

Not knowing whats on the end of my line... That's kind of why I hate sight and bed fishing... I know what's coming up! Unless its a tank, then I don't care if I see it or not.

I'm thinkin' if that happens... Life is over for everyone... If it's really as big as they say it is, it's going to black out the sun for sometime! Who cares though, that isn't going to happen in our life time.

Yellowstones about to pop...

Jello! What waters do you usually fish?

I'd like to improve my jig 'skills'.. I pitch, but don't flip much. I'd also like to throw hard swimbaits... I'm stuck on the soft ones. I guess this doesn't really apply to me, but I'd like to take more people fishing who don't usually get to go much. I like getting people hooked on the sport.

3 My bag for shore fishing/wading My Plano box (that Guide Series one that sit's up and has the drawers) for the boat (the bag comes on the boat too) My junker tackle box that sits in the basement with the 'overflow' baits. If you count my fly boxes... Make that 8 HAHA

Yeah... LOL Netflix is only $8 a month now and it works on my Wii, phone and all kinds of other junk... Can't beat it. And my advice is legal... That program refuses to copy copyrighted DVD's

The only issues I ever had with putting plastic baits in those boxes were swimbait tails. make sure you get them in their straight or they will run weird. I have everything else jammed in there... some even over filled and everything else works just fine.

Well, you can't really convert those odd files on the DVD into a movie file. You need a program to make the DVD a file format that the computer understands (that's the easiest way to put it...) I use Format Factory: http://www.formatoz.com/ You will 'rip' the DVD with this software and then you will have to convert that file into whatever the Ipad takes (probably .mov or something like that). I'm pretty sure that FF can write .mov files. Watch what you are ripping though, if the DVD is copyrighted, it's illegal to copy it onto your computer. Format Factory will NOT allow you to copy a copyrighted DVD. There's really no good free software out there that lets you just select parts of a DVD and copy only certain parts. It's all or nothing, or pay for something Hope this helps!

Ah man... Slow roll that baby over some rocks... Them smallies will be eatin' that up! Great looking bait man!

Long pauses are key in cold water... 20+ seconds even - keep at it, you'll find the fishes 'groove'.

Good stuff buddy! I'm looking at getting another bag, my Plano is filled to the brim (it actually ripped on 1 side because I had too much stuff in it). Maybe I'll look at this one!

Great Paca Craw presentation is to get yourself some small hooks (either size 1 or 1/0 Octopus hooks or Sickle hooks), 'nose' hook the back end of it and just let it sit. One of the best finesse presentations you can deploy.

Try getting some 'Field Staff' positions with companies also. I emailed a company once about 'Pro Staff' positions and they didn't even mention having a 'Field Staff'... So I emailed them again and asked about 'Field Staff' positions and they went ahead and added me to that. A lot of people seem to hate being on Field Staff, but it's your first step at getting in with a company!

Hard swimbaits... I don't use them much (if ever) and would really like to learn them. Spoons also. I mean, I have used them, but I basically just cast them out reel a bit, let it drop, reel a bit, let it drop. I need to learn more techniques!

Oh come on J... You used to look like that before the operation...

There plastic is second to none... It's soft, but its VERY durable.. unlike anything else I have used. I've nailed 20+ bass on a single tube. There tubes are great too because they have a solid head. As far as the Hatch Match Sticks go, don't think of it as another stick bait... It's something you just have to try to see what I mean. The Tri-Lam colors are pretty darn cool too...

I use 3 trailers (technically 2) - My main trailer is my Rage Craw. When that isn't working, I cut it in half and slap it on the jig... If that doesn't work, I use the Paca Craw. I think the Paca craw is a great size... It's small, but it still has a bulky profile. I was never a big fan of the straight chunks/pork style baits.

A KitchenAid stand mixer...... That I won on Lowe's Facebook Gift a Thon for a mere $15.... BAZINGA!
