Finally getting some interest going on this. Let's get a list of people that want to participate and set a deadline to have the baits completed. Figure 2 months should be good that Way everyone has time. Allen

That is just the older packaging that LC had before the current red cards. You may want to check on the Flashminnow 110's as I believe they have been discontinued. Allen

Yes John passed away. I have about a half dozen of his lures. Allen

I need to get down there and fish this place as it looks nothing like the C&O canal up where I live. Allen

Bandit 100 and Manns Baby 1- both work really well in the shallow rocky parts of the Upper Potomac. Crayfish and shad colors work best overall for me due to clearer water. Allen

That makes 2 who else is in. Allen

How many people would be interested in a lure swap ? Figured we could get a dozen people to swap jigs so we can see what everyone is able to make. Everyone would make say 12 identical baits and send them all to someone who would then distribute them to everyone else in the group. I have done this before and it is nice to see what works for other people around the country. Allen

Just dug out my airbrush stuff to give it another shot. Allen

I have about 100 different colors of silicone tabs from fishingskirts.com, Barlows, Janns Net craft, Lurepartsonline.com, etc. Additionally I have flat and round rubber, hydro silk, and lumaflex skirts or skirt material. What to use depends upon what you are looking to achieve. Each of these has advantagesand disadvantages depending on what you are looking for. Allen

Here in western maryland most of the crayfish I come across are Spiney or Viral craws. Both change color when they are molting which is good to keep in mind. When they are molting their shell is softer which is why I think bass target certain colored jigs. Allen

Back in the late 80's and early 90's Stanley jigs were what everyone was using. Allen

They are in the Lower Potomac as I have caught one. Allen

I cast all of my jigs. Allen

I store soft plastics by category in their original bags inside of one gallon freezer bags. This seems to save a lot of space. Allen

Bandit 300 SK 5 Series Allen

I have one of those on order. Allen

Those ones in the middle are Megabass Deep-X baits from what I can see. Allen

https://www.ichibantackle.com/ Try here as well. Allen

ebay is usually the place to find things like that. LC makes both a 65 and 48 size pointer but you need light tackle to throw them. Allen

Buy them up as the Pre-Lews Strike King spinnerbaits were made better. Allen

I make my own using a Do-It Football jig mold and 4/0 Flat eye hooks. Allen

Wasn't that Mike at Carolina baits? He shut down his business that I know of. There maybe someone else selling them so TU is the best place to look. Allen

Barlows Tackle, Janns Net craft, Lurepartsonline.com one of them will have them. Allen

If you decide to make your own use .032 piano wire frames. Allen
