I am sure he put some work into it I just don't think it is an original design. Allen

So I am the only one here who thinks the McStick is a MB Vision knockoff? And the SPRO Dawg is not a copy of the Sammy? Like I said I applaud them for the little john as it is an original design. Allen

Wayne I was looking to refinance myself so any info you have I will take. Now that you have more free time maybe you can help me install those boat fender on my garage Allen

Besides the Little John SPRO is knocking off every bait imagineable that works so NO I will not try a bait from a company who has such unethical business practices. Allen

Dremel and a small triangle file is what I have used in the past. Allen

http://www.tackleexperts.com/reaction-innovations-school-girl-p-111634.html This is basically what I plan on making. The only difference is my wire will be exiting the bottom at ot behing the hook tie. Allen

Salt or other additives is what makes the bait heavier not the plastic. I have tried pouring Flukes out of super soft plastic and they do not work as well. Zoom are too stiff and do not sink enough for me so I was using some handpours but the guy quit making them. Allen

My airbrush is broke too except the non-working part is the finger that controls the spray. Allen

They look great. Allen

I really would have kicked the s**t out of him. Allen

You can buy motor oil Zoom finesse worms at Dick's sporting goods. Allen

http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1283309155 Already working on this one, hopefully I can find time to work on it today. As for the recessed line tie football jigs they are most likely spincast. Allen

Berkley powerbait 3" drop shot worm, kangaroo grub, Madman 6" lizard in "Volcano". Allen

The Sluggo was the lure back in the early 90's! It counted for at least 60% of my bass. Actually the biggest SM I can remember catching was on a 4.5" sluggo. RC 1 and 3 man I bought so many after Clunn won the classic using them. Never really caught much and I kept breaking the bills by slapping the baits to get grass off. The soft plastic I would love to get some more of is the kangaroo grub. It had a thin tail and a stubby end but really worked for me. The french fry I still use regularly, in fact my partner was using one when we won an open tournament in June. Allen

I don't think they make one yet? The only recessed jighead mold Do-It has is called a brush jig. http://www.do-itmolds.com/prodmolds.aspx?c=333 Allen

I just picked up a Plano 3940 that will hold 96 spinnerbaits which should be just enough for a day of fishing :. Allen

If you are fishing it where the bait will contact grass or brush tail up. All other times tail down seems to have a better swimming action especially on the fall. Allen

Sebile magic swimmer and it isn't for a lack of trying. It is funny to me how some are mentioning jigs? I never go fishing without them because when fishing is tough they still produce. Allen

http://www.johnnyspond.com/bagley-belly-button-minnow-head-jigs.html Something like this is what I was thinking with the wire option? The problem I see so far is so much of the lead is forward of the hook eye for the Ultra minnow. Allen

Bringing this back up because I will have some free time soon and plan on going forward with the project. Since a machinest friend is currently laid off and offered to help it shouldn't be hard to modify the mold. Now for the questions= What weight and hook size does eveyone like? The 3/8oz lists 3/0 but most Do-It molds will take 1 size larger hooks. The swimming hornet uses a crane swivel molded into the head but I was thinking of trying a looped wire end? I guess I will wait and see what Don says as I have the horsehead mold swivel cavity as a reference. Overall the most expensive component of this bait is the ball bearing swivel but these things can only cost about $1.25 to make. Allen

Do you have any problem using two of the same size blades? Allen

River is 57 degrees, clear and most of the grass has died off. Allen

That is where I bought mine but this thing looks very easy to make. The only thing I do not know where to get is the material for the cup bottom that is porus. Allen
