Best walking bait? Rover vs. Vixen?
Never had any luck on the Vixen or Rewpoman for some reason. My favorite new walking bait is the wooden Sammy as it is more subtle in the water. Allen

Airbrush or powder pain for jigs?
Currently I am using a $12 airbrush from Ebay that is Chinese made. Actually works better than my $170 Iwata. Just get the .5 size tip as it is the best overall. Allen

Airbrush or powder pain for jigs?
You can powder coat them then spray the throats etc. with a airbrush. Clear over them with Devcon 2 ton 30 minute epoxy or Sally Hansen hard as nails fingernail polish. Allen

Tacklemaking I jumped into the deep end
Decided to take my tacklemaking to a whole new level and bought a spincast machine. For those who do not know what it is I have a pic below of a spincast mold. Basically it spins around and lead is forced into the cavities. I can go from hand pouring 50 lead baits an hour to hundreds. Allen

Winter jig making
Cheap oven $20 at Ollies and I prefer wire tying as I suck at wrapping thread. If you want to know how to wire tie I did a tutorial on it just look for the thread. Allen

Airbrush or powder pain for jigs?
If it is a bottom contact jig then PC all the way. I only airbrush swim jigs as they will be running through grass not rocks. Allen

Winter jig making
Check with Seibert on here and he can sell you just the jigheads. I recommend getting them painted but have him leave the weedguards out. You can glue the weedguards in after you tie the jigs. Fishingskirts.com will have 100's of different colors of skirt material. Allen
