Popular lures you've never caught fish on
I have a Bart Simpson lure that has actually caught some fish. His head did break off on a cast though which made the lure run better. Allen

Late to the party lure
I don't know why I quit using the slug-go? When I was a teenager it was my #1 bait and has caught me hundreds of fish. Allen

Anyone Made Anything Out Of Balsa Wood?
A lot of crankbaits are made out of balsa as it is very buoyant. Things to know about balsa: there are different levels of hardness/density, it is very forgiving as far as ballasting, more fragile that other wood. I have made a few crankbaits but it is tough to get both sides even on the blank. Now the only ones I make are D-Bait style out of blanks I buy from Janns or Barlows. Allen

shoreline fishing Maryland
Big Slackwater and Four Locks are the only places you can run a fiberglass boat in the UP. With that said you need to know how far upriver you can safely run. Slackwater stop at the Potomac Fish and Game club and Four Locks stop at McCoy's ferry until you get to know the river better. Allen

Finesse Buzzbait
Wal-Mart or Dick's still has some of those Terminator buzzbaits here in Hagerstown. As for Booyah they use Mustad hooks on their baits. Allen

Brown vs. Green Pumpkin Jig Head Color ?
I use both GP and brown heads on a brown skirt depending on what I am trying to match. The link below shows the different crayfish in your area which I use as a color base. The craws around here are brown or brown with GP claws/tail (Rusty Crayfish) and I try to match them. Allen http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/crayfish/country_pages/species_by_state.htm

Maryland's Who's who!
They changed the name of the show. I will be there both days trying to sell some of the "extra" tackle that has accumulated in my basement over the years. The River Rock Bassmasters are having their 13th annual flea market at the; Washington County Ag Center 7313 Sharpsburg Pike Boonsboro, MD 21713 On January 16 and 17. The Ag center is located about 10 minutes South of the Hagerstown Outlets (Exit 29 on Rt 70.) Allen

That is what I use to do back in the day. From the bridge if you go west it was better fishing. Allen

Maryland's Who's who!
I fished there several times since I use to live close by. A lot of those fallfish but I did catch some small SM. White Roostertail spinners are what worked best. Allen

Is it really a LC pointer 100??
I have yet to see a Pointer SP knock off? All the fake LC baits that I saw on ebay were slender pointers. Allen

saving money on crankbaits
What are you running that through to wear the paint off the nose? I have a few battle scared traps but nothing with that kind of wear pattern. Allen

Lead free jig heads
Melting temp: Lead = 620 Tin = 450 Bismuth = 520 http://www.rotometals.com/lead-free-pewter-casting-metal-s/23.htm Pewter works but the density is less than lead. Lead has a density of 11.34 g/cm3 while tin's is only at 7.29 g/cm3. Allen

Lead free jig heads
There is a company that sells lead, tin, bismuth, etc. in different mixtures. Tin melts at a much lower temp than lead (400 v 600) so you will just need to turn the pot temp down. For a quick test try pouring some lead free solder wire as it is mostly tin. Allen

http://store.do-itmolds.com/Worm-Nose-JigbrSz-332-18-316-14-516brHk-570-or-575brCollar-Double-Barb_p_558.html Find someone who has this mold and see if they can pour some heads out of tin/bismuth mix. I would check with Seibert first but someone has to have this mold. Allen

Making Mop Jigs
Weedless Pro Football jigheads from LPO is what Buckeye uses and the more you buy the cheaper they are. As for living rubber I have used the regular in the past but do not care for LR in general. Strand count is a personal preference or you can just count the strands on the factory bait? Allen
