If looking for a squealer, crimp the rivet in place with wire cutters, side-cutters... Then for some extra squeal take some pliers and squeeze the rivet and blades where they make contact, as hard as you can. This will create little noise making ridges. I pour my own and do the later before assembly.

I use a 1/2 oz buzzbait if fishing with a skirt a 3/8oz if fishing with a swimbait . I place them accurately in tight places with a side arm cast . The swim bait weighs more than a skirt so it causes me to lose accuracy, thats why I down-size to a 3/8th oz.

I saw the starlink satellites last night for the first time . That was pretty cool .

Throw them anywhere you would throw a spinnerbait . You can throw them over logs.

Yeah, use what you have. I like to parallel cast steep banks early in the year .

Crawfish colored crankbait like a rock crawler or wiggle wart.

I think they're likely here. Havent seen anything though . My brother has . When I listen to Travis Walton talk, I believe him .Its an unbelievable story but he's believable .

The sandwiches were delicious.

I may do the cast iron pan method if my press is not up to the task .

Me too . I like the weight of them, easy to pitch and they get bit .

I discovered them at the Cheesecake Factory . I dont know if they are considered good or not but I like them . The sourness of mustard and dill pickles ,I've always craved that .

River Runts, Spinididees, Lucky 13's... you are going old school . Good luck. It will be interesting.

I got a loaf of Italian . I'll do like Deleted says and hollow it out some.

The Mississippi flyway is been busy today . Ice is out .

How good are those?

Pork loin is thawing . Tomorrow it is getting smoked then I'm making a cuban sandwich . Its doubtful that cuban bread is available so Italian bread will probably take its place . I have a panini press . Any of you ever make Cubans? Have any tips .

I'll be checking out more of Sam Brown .

How would you rig that thing , ball head jig?

I did that . Put a cigarette butt on a marabou jig and caught a largemouth ,

I think I see a channel cat and a drum mixed in there .

Holy moly! Theres a thousand dollars worth of baits there .

Texas rigged plastics but I tore a tendon in right bicep and may not be able to set the hook sufficiently, in that case a spinnerbait.

I havent given up on them just yet but toads art the most frustrating lures I have fished. Everytime I think I'm making some serious headway, I then miss a bunch in a row .

There may be something to a raggedly looking bait . When fishing tubes I get as much use out of one as possible . They will be ripped up , tail pieces missing and they work just as well and maybe better than a fresh one . I have pinched the claws from craws and saw no difference in bites .

Like last year , Zara Spook .
