Caught my PB 8.2 on a jig I made with a trailer I poured. Allen

Made up some more just need to wire tie the skirts. Allen

I may have the record for that? Open tournament of like 50 boats and I got first with a five fish limit weighing in at a whopping 4lbs 6oz! 😁 Second place was 3 something for 2 fish and I was the only boat to bring in a limit. This is probably my favorite tournament win of all time. Complete grind all day which I only caught 6 keepers with the largest measuring 13" exactly. Culled one fish for less than a 2oz upgrade in 8 hours. Allen

Best I have done in a tournament was 24-7. Best overall would be either one March day fishing a local spot where I caught my PB 8.2 along with a 6.3, 6.5, and a couple others that I didn't bother weighing because fishing was on fire. Other was at Trap Pond in Delaware one July evening where they were on a Zoom toad. Didn't have a scale with me but I caught 9 fish that went over 5lbs and I would bet money the best 5 went 30lbs.

Not sure how to post a video? Regular bladed jig blade just doesn't work for some reason. I gave it to a buddy to try so I don't know anything except what he told me. GP bait feels like a mini bladed jig coming through the water. Allen

Same here, even similar baits work differently so I just use whatever works best. Allen

Bandit 100 and I agree that the SK KVD 1.5 doesn't work as well as the LC 1.5. Allen

Silver bait doesn't run correctly, GP one runs great though. Tried taking a video with my phone that didn't turn out well. Bait feels like a small bladed jig coming through the water. Poured about 25 more heads that I will be painting up the next couple of days. Allen

Blades came so I started making some prototypes. Allen

Blades I had made just came recently. Just need to get out and see how it works. Allen

Hit a local fishing Flea Market today just seeing what was there. One guy was selling soft plastics $1 a bag and had a lot of good stuff. Ended up buying the entire tub of baits for $70. Counted when I got home and ended up with 121 full and 48 partial packs. The Jackal cross tail shads and Yamamoto Shad shape worms along were worth $70. If anyone is a kids bass fishing coach that needs some trick worms send me a message as I have like 15 packs I will donate. Allen

I don't see any picture? You can use a water gremlin sinker for texas rigging a tube. Allen

You are not finding that shrimp color anywhere. Allen

Last year was a complete grind with small finesse baits working the best. Fishing throughout the summer Thursday evening tournaments this bait accounted for most of my fish. I pour 3/32 ballheads using the New EWG hooks for these and they just flat out worked. Went from 3 fish the first tournament to 19 the second once I found these little baits. Hopefully for 2025 other baits work because I do not like fishing these little baits. Allen

Me too, the two "Local" shops for me are 45 minutes and 1:15 minutes away. Dicks is crazy high prices so I only hit there when I really need something right away which is rare. Allen

Some of you must be spending a fortune in shipping on some of these JDM baits. I see some of the baits on FeeBay $9 plus $14 shipping. Allen

Well, I said earlier this year I only needed to buy some more fluorocarbon line and bullet weights nothing else. About $200 later I still haven't bought the line or weights. Trying to reserve my money for a HDS 10 pro its just not working. I blame my relapse on the Megabass Fine Art jerkbaits and Imakatsu Riprizers for looking so lifelike a mere fishing mortal like myself can't resist. Disabling the front door ring cam so my wife cannot see all the packages that arrive is getting to be a chore. Allen

Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits= White and shad colors Swim jig= Same as above but I also use a bluegill color Regular jig= GP, black, and brown Allen

While looking for something else on Ebay I came across OSP crankbaits. They have some great colors and they baits themselves look like they would work. Just wondering if anyone fishes them that can give an opinion. Allen

Anyone looking for pumpkin chart tail Zoom lizards Ollie's has 100's right now $2.99 each. Allen

For my personal jigs I use black, brown, and GP as well. You can get lost in the amount of colors sold now. Allen

20 to 26 Guage Craft wire with 22 being what I use the most. Get yourself a set of Harbor Freight twisting pliers. Allen

It bend just like any other spinnerbait. Allen

He keeps buying all the spinnerbaits which is why the price is so high. Allen
