Custom painted FFS-7
What are you talking about all the lures I try to paint with my airbrush turn out crappy? Allen

Check out this Musky!
A true Musky not a hybrid tiger good job! Actually that is a rabbit musky and it was after your carrot sticks! Allen

Best glue for plastics?
I have given up on using any of it! All I seem to do with it is glue fingers to baits, baits to rods, cap comes off bottle falls on side and glue goes everywhere! I will just buy more baits as this stuff isn't worth the frustration it causes. Allen

BPS DROPSHOT MINOS
I pour some for personal use but they are such a PITA to pour the fins I would not want to pour them. Try registering over on tackleunderground.com and see if anyone is interested? If there is someone out there that makes them that would be the place to find them. Allen

First musky of the year (pic)
The secret to catching them around here is not to fish for them? Try fishing for bass and you will hook into a couple. They will hit just about anything but seem to like jerkbaits better than other lures. The biggest one I caught (45")was on a oatmeal ball fishing for carp. Allen

Lure colors and patterns
Color only matters when it matters! I have learned to limit myself to 5 or 6 colors for each type of soft plastic. Cranks I use 3 basic colors; baitfish, crayfish and chartreuse and worry more about action or diving depth. By limiting your selectiion you spend more time fishing and less switching colors. Remember those 68 different colors the companies offer for each bait are meant to catch fisherman not fish! Allen

Looking for a hook.
Owner has a wider gap than Gama, Mustad, Daiichi, Eagle dull or VMC. They are nice hooks but the shank isn't long enough for my hidden weight heads. Allen

Free dog training in exchange for use of dog in video
Will someone be doing a video on how to train a wife? Mine doesn't listen, retrieve the things I say, stay off my chair and so on? Right now I am leaning torward one of those electric shock collars. Allen

Pouring Tube Baits
Most of the stuff I have seen about making tubes is that you dip some sort of solid rod into the plastic? BTW I have a bunch of packs of hookedup bait tubes I could sell you $2.50 a pack? I bought a ton of stuff at once and I just do not use tubes or the 120 jars of trout power bait (bought by accident). Allen

Are bobbers only used with live bait?
Floated down thru some current works really well. Allen

Thanks to fellas here JIGS now #1 tool
I check the weedguard to make sure it is correct. Meaning is the angle going to interfere with hookups? On some cheaper jigs the weedguard stand up at a angle that makes it hard to bend over without a lot of force. I push the the weedguard a couple of times to make sure it bends down and nothing would obstruct a hookset. For those of you who cut the weedguard shorter you are actually stiffening it? If you want a light guard cut some of the strands frm THE BOTTOM of the weedguard. Larger fish have no problem with even the stiffest weedguard on a flipping jig. Allen

Quick Change Spinnerbait Blades
You could just put a snap link between the swivel split ring and the blade? I make my own spinnerbaits and quit changing blades and skirt a long time ago. Allen

Lead Weights or Other?
It is hard to pay those tungsten prices when you fish a rocky river that claims a lot of baits! Now I have started using more of the steel weights because of the sound they make hitting those rocks. It may attact them (my theory) but I have started catching more fish on the drop shot after switching to them. Allen

Worst tackle investment you have made...
And I am wrecking fish on that exact bait in the same waters you fish? Lets see junk ; Gulp, Berkley vanish, most senko knock offs, Storm baits. I am sure some others will come to mind but these are what I think of right now? Now I did catch 1 bass in two years fishing Gulp but I also catch several water snakes, turtles and countless sunfish.

You forgot to add that two dummies just went over Dam#4 in their boat! I am planning on going out Sunday morning with a buddy but he is not sure if he can make it? If he cannot go I will send you a message to see if you want to go? Allen

buying lure bodies?
http://www.vanndalizer.com/ He has the best selection I know of? Allen

rubber skirt question
I rarely use the rubber because it is such a PITA! It never seperates like when you cut it so I end up spending 45 minutes seperating strands by hand. Allen

jigheads
http://castind.com/cast_industries_005.htm My guess is it is thw weedless bullet on this page? I know this guy makes the Booyah pond minnow spinnerbait heads for them so I suspect he makes their other baits. Allen

jigheads
I have no idea what the difference is between Booyah jigs as I use that Eakins style on the ones I personally make. Try Cast Industries as they should have them but the minimum you have to buy is like 100. Allen

Black Hills (Little Seneca lake) night fishing
Already have plans sorry? Why do they have it during the middle of the week? Allen

That is the same style as the Eakins jig. What weight are you looking for? Allen
