Comfortably Numb

I like my old greenie Bantums LOL

I like them, especially in more open water. They do go out of tune easily and that can be frustrating. I also prefer a spinning rod as its a lil light for a baitcaster.

Bullet weight will work fine.

I use 20# Power Pro on my 6'6" spinning rods. I believe its the diameter of 6# mono

Shakey heads in general are not really designed for grass. Texas rig is more streamlined and weedless.

Its a hobby now. I used to sell them but was too much time invested (as a part time business) for little profit. I actually had too many orders Also nowhere to sell but Ebay, which is too competitve. Forums like this have paying sponsors and dont allow personal sales of home made baits, which does make sense.

Location location location. Fish are just not there or they would bite. Carolina rig it and go deeper

For when you cant decide whether to fish it wacky or texas

Plenty have the formula down. Just dont sell publicly

The Baker suspending squarebills worked great for me early spring. Acadamy H2O CRS is a good quality bait.

Isnt that why they make magic markers? To "paint" your hardbaits

Use straight 20# braid and you wont lose as many. Stock up on Acadamy H2o CRS and CRM when they are on sale for like $3. Great baits.

Bagley Dredge been doin that for years.

Bass wont nip at a Stick bait. Bluegill usually be rapid fire tapping and they will sometimes almost take the rod out of your hands. I do as jar does and let them take it a few secs, then slowly reel down on them till you feel the fish. I set hard. No need to set quickly on a stick IME

Floating simulates a trout feeding on bugs at the surface. Easy prey for a charging bass

I have an Ima Roumba but have not thrown it. Does that stay up and truly wake? I need to try it but I prefer wakes with a joint that swim. R2S makes a jointed V-wake but that goes under unless reeled very slowly. G2 Shellcrack catches big fish too if you can find one.

Too many baits advertised as "wake" baits go subsurface. Those baits can work great in shallows or over weeds, but are not true wakes. I really like the SK Wake Shad (not King Shad) as a true wake bait. It is big but even smaller fish bite it. Great swim action that calls fish up. Always wakes at top and floats so pauses and twitches are possible. I will warn you that the bill is fragile so be careful not to smack it on hard objects. The joints hold up fine.

That was my list I was emailing to people. Should be mostly Fishingskirts.com

No prob at all. You will need the raised ball though.

My buddy is a line watcher. Fished at night with him and he was lost LOL

I use a spinning and straight 20# PP braid. No leader. I fish wacky and always keep contact with the bait. I can feel the fish breathe on it. I let them take it 5-10 secs. I set the hook hard and dont miss many. I am partially blind so cant see the line well.

If I were you I would get some fresh plastisol. Add some of your used worms to that and heat. Heat stabilizer helps too. Heating just used plastics can burn very easily. Do 30 sec heats and stir alot between (15 sacs when almost done). Not sure why you want to add hardener, but this way you can add it to the cold fresh plastic. Try 1/4 cup fresh plastic. BE CAREFULL. Wear gloves and eye protection. Dont use your regular microwave you cook food in
