I'm not sure I have an answer, but here's what I do. I have all of my soft plastics sorted by type in a zip lock bag. I then store the bags in a tube. All of my crankbaits, jigs, topwaters I have in plastic boxes.

Ditto, I have several IMX rods and GLX, the IMX's fish great

Confidence is important, but it is also important to understand the baits action as well. Baits manufactured that have identice actions should yield the same results, but those that have subtle differences yield different results. They may have a different fall rate falling action, action when twitched. If you have access to a swimming pool cast the bait into the pool and become an expert with its action with different presentations.

By the way it's just their interior latex paint.

Actually I go to Lowes or home depot. I'm partial to Lowes because IMO they do a better job matching colors. I then put two cots of urethane on them and it really works well.

To put this in the proper context, I've made not only my own jigs for years, I pour my own shaky heads, standup jigs, nose weights, etc. I only use one coat of paint, and a coat of urethane finish. The pint of paint costs me about $7.00, and I prbibly pour 6# of lead a year for not only my jigs, but the various jigs I pour and sell. The pint of paint lasts me about two years, the jig head keeps its paint intact just as good as powder paint, but more importantly, I can virtually match the paint for any jig skirt color, or soft plastic bait. Admittedly, the vast majority of my jig head colors are, green pumpkin, brown, black, red, and a plum color. So for less cost with comparable durability, and a larger variety of colors, in my opinion, this process is better than powder paint.

FYi, I paint my jigs with a latex paint ant then put two coats of urethane on them. I find it's easier to match paints to the skirt that way, and the jig is just as durable at powder paint. I go to Lowes and have them mix it paint for me in pint quantities. It's less expensive that powder paint.

The resin will waterproof it. The matting for fiberglass is to add strength, you don't need strength you need waterproofing.

I have a LMS 334-C IGPS unit . Its a color fish finder and GPS

I would suggest Lowrance. I have a HDS GEN 2 touch 12 INCH on my console, and and HDS gen 2 on my bow. You can get small units reasonable and the GEN 2 touch have built in structure scan so all you need is the transducer

I set the container in a zip lock bag with the top up

I'm a st croix and G Loomis guy. I like the Ltb in the MH, but I prefer the IMX if I need a medium action rod with the price being similar

I'd suggest a Moderate action rod which you can use to fish both crankbaits and jerkbaits. I'd suggest a 6'6' Medium moderate action.

They have develops welding rods that can be used with a torch to weld aluminum. I've give thought to seeing if that works.

My guess you may have over filled the spool. I've used Yo Zuri exclusively for a very long time on both baitcaster and spinning reel and I've never had any issue. I suggest you check to make sure you didn't overfill the spool and try again.

Slonezp is correct. It's a matter of what fits for you. I hav a Lowrance HDS Gen 2 touch 12 inch on my console and a Gen 2 10 " on my bow. The reason I thought Lwrance fit better for me was the size configuration and what I felt was better definition with the side maying. I'm happy with the units, but I'm sure that if I had to use Hummingbird I'd get along just fine.

In my opinion, flipping benefits from upgrading bearing. The bait free falls better and you get better distance.

Bearbaiting molds has a good stick bait mold and it's an injected mold. Really all you need is the mold injector, measuring cup, microwave, plastisol, dye, and any glitter you want to use. There are several YouTube videos that go through the steps, it really is simple.

Actually yozuri hybrid or Pline fluroclear. These are two lines that are flurocoated and are very manageable even on spinning gear, while costing less.

I agree, most of the higher end electronics don't very in price much at the well known stores, but using the Internet and doing a little searching can provide you savings.

IMO Basro rods are inferior. You can get a better rod for about the same money with St. croix, Shimano, and even G Loomis with the GL 2

I would suggest you look at the Johney Morris signature series reel. It costs $100+ less than compairable reels so you get more bang for your buck. For a rod I would look at Shimano Cummara, or St Croix Avid or legend tournament series rods.
