when the water gets cold, dont be afraid of big topwaters, but go SLOW. I had some really nice action during the winter on top, but with very SLOW presentations of relatively large lures. That was caught mid February on top with an 8" floating lure NGaHB

The plastic recipe he's used on the weedless is extremely soft, and also has alot of friction, I've brought it in with leaves stuck to the side, yea the side, of the bait many times. They are extremely snagless, but not so weedless, I bet that an application of pro cure or some other slippery attractant might change that up completely. NGaHB

Yea, Im afraid shes probably gone to the great beyond by now. a 24" fish with that big of head shouldnt weigh 5.5 Its a home brew rat bait, but based off a real fish catcher that's unavaliable now. Im not sure how close to the original it is, but Its my favorite topwater swimbait i've got. Funny thing is.... Big bait, small fish NGaHB

I also use black and white only. I've got several diff brands with three of each in black and white. I bend one to run to the left, one to the right and one straight. That way I can ruin up tight to cover no matter myorientation. NGaHB

CB cap 22s are another option. As quiet as the higer speed pellet guns ivet shot. NGaHB

For me, if your READING with it then the digital ink or whatever the kindle uses is the best thing available. for games and all the kindle fire is pretty nice, tho android tablets, which i changed the fire into, is a much nicer interface NGaHB

I know those patterdale's are tough little guys, but I just cant help but see em as fufu dogs. I need to get around a few. NGaHB

Not that bad at all, the polishing wasnt the way im going in the future, but painting you dont need to get into the gear side of the reel, just pull off the handle. It was a fun project. NGaHB

I'd go 5ish. REALLY dark bass, diggin it NGaHB

I thought I'd share a project I've been working on for a few weeks. Stripped and polished some parts, painted the frame. I was planning on anodizing the alum parts, but multi metal construction keeps me from being able to do that. Later Shimano reels will just be painted. Shimano Cardiff 301 NGaHB
