Making fuzzy-style baits out of pieces of used plastics?
Perhaps the fish only like the expensive ones?

Making fuzzy-style baits out of pieces of used plastics?
Good morning BR, Ive been thinking about trying some fuzzy dice or fuzzy ball style baits this coming year. The steep price tag per pack, combined with my impatience and fishing mediocrity, has me looking for cheaper options. Has anyone taken a used bait like a rage craw, and cut a piece off and threaded some skirt material through it? Ive got a threader and some skirts laying around, and a million plastics already.

Maxxum TM pedal moving on its own
Hello BR, I recently got a real boarlt. It works well enough, except the trolling motor will turn on its own when I take my foot off the pedal. Its a 70lb thrust 24v Minnkota Maxxum. A bit of googling did nothing to alleviate my confusion. Do any of you fine folks know if there's something I can adjust? Or fix?

Trouble finding a split ring tool small enough
https://japanlureshop.com/catalog/product/view/_ignore_category/1/id/8514/s/valley-hill-quick-ring-plier-pink/ Think that might work?

It's local.
Mostly a rage craw or googan craw on a weighted hook. Works well here in NH, and worked pretty well on my trip to Maine last summer.

LOVE and Hate the "buy $50 and get free shipping" thing.
I got a free reel for signing up. Love the free shipping, even for 3 packs of plastics like I did the other day.

Utility box for small terminal tackle
That might be just the ticket. I've got a whole lot of snaps, swivels, o-rings, nail weights, and other tiny things that just love to travel in the box. I've been fiddling around with a hot glue gun, and if I can't make that work, this will be my next purchase. Thanks to all who've replied so far.

Utility box for small terminal tackle
I've tried several options that haven't worked out the greatest. I still ended up with swivels and rattles and nail weights all over the place. What 3700 size box has worked best for you? I'd rather not go the route of gluing some shelf liner to the inside of the lid, but if that's what I've gotta do, I will.

Does Yamamoto's floating plastic react with regular plastic lures?
I have a pack of the slinkos and the floating neds, and at least one of them says not to mix with other plastics. I can confirm when I get home from work
