How far have you gone to retrieve a lure?
Broke off my favorite LC Pointer on a log and went back the next day to find it. After about 1/2 hour I found it along with about 50 other lures, Game warden stopped me and ask what I was doing so I told him why that lure was so special. I caught about 35 bass the day before until I lost it. Allen

Finesse Jig Fishing Tips...???
5/16 90% of the time with a lions main cut skirt and medium wire hook. Fish these on 10-15lb flor with a medium to MH rod (depends on how manufacture rate it) with a 2-3" trailer. Pic is of my main finesse jig that I make and use. Allen

Cheating vs not-ethical or neither
They day job is Cirque Du Soleil performer. Allen It was a joke but seriously who brings a casting net to a bass tournament? That to me just seems suspicious. Allen

Is This a Good Crawfish Color?
I can make a jig to imitate that. Going to use a downrigger weight, mop head, gaff hook, and a pair of gozilla claws from the costume store. Spray paint everything green with a few spots of blue for the win. Allen

Suspending Jerk Baits Attitude
Same here, as long as they are not one extreme or the other. Those RC knock off visions were the worst and most inconsistent jerkbait I ever used. Since smalljaw67 gave out the secret those XS4 jerkbaits rock. Still holds my record for most fish caught in one outing on the Upper Potomac; 67 bass, 4 walleye, 10 panfish, and a tiger muskie. Had to change the trebles out twice in one day by stealing them from other baits. Allen

Agreed, I am not sure why he sells them so cheap for the time he spends making them. Allen

Siebert Outdoors's Dredge Docker Rocker - Should I?
Besides rusting very easy I have had zero problems with this hook. If it is a problem I suggest going with the round bend cutting point. I have caught many bass over 6lbs on this hook in jigs that I make and never had a problem. Allen

Jigs are the easiest lures to make yourself even if you cannot pour lead. Heads are like $1 each and skirts you can make for $0.75 with a $5 tool. Allen

What is the average cost of a 3/8 or 1/2oz jig now? I make my own and have for over a decade so I do not know what the average cost is. Allen

Swim jig trailers
The ribbed one is 3.8" while the other two are 4". I can make you some as long as the colors aren't hard? Generally the only soft plastics I pour are; flukes, jig trailers, and some DS worms. Green pumkin, solid black, and smoke are the colors I make 90% of the time. Started to get into pouring years ago then quit after I dumped 4oz of molten plastic over my hand. Slowly getting back into it because I like catching fish on the baits I make. Allen

Swim jig trailers
Shot these last night in some new molds I picked up. This is only the second time injecting baits so there is a learning curve to it. Allen
