Custom painted sunfish colored baits are bringing big money on ebay? Myself I would just like to be able to paint that silver shad pattern. Allen

Yum Dinger Vs. Senko
There you have it! When they are on anything will work but for a tough bite the original works best for me. Allen

Fishingskirts.com
This is the best site for silicone skirts period! I have ordered about $500 worth of skirt supplies and cannot say enough good things about Charles and his company. Several months ago I asked him to make the Roadkill color for me and he made it just look at GMAN's link. Honestly I talk with him about 2 hours every week and he even calls me at home. This guy is a fisherman and cares about his customers! Allen

Novice looking for weedless Jig Mold
I think the molds are more expense if you buy direct from Do-It? Try one of the resellers like Barlows, Jannsnetcraft, etc. Allen

Standout dropshot hooks?
I use the standout ones because I cannot tie the others right for some reason :-[. Most of the time I am drop shotting a small 3" minnow nose hooked so they work well for me. Allen

lure retriever
I have 2 like in the picture above and have not lost a lure from the boat in over a year. As for the telescopic retrievers BPS never had any in stock so I use a light bulb changer from Wal-Mart. This retriever works best to get your buddies lures out of the trees and doubles as a small push pole. Allen

falcon boxes
The spinnerbait box is the best thing I have ever used for them! The spinnerbait/buzzbait one is nice but I do not use a lot of buzzbaits so I feel almost 1/2 is wasted? I wil admit they are nice but I find that I cannot put enough baits in most of them besides the spinnerbait one? I always end up going back to regular 360 or 370 boxes with tangled baits because I can carry more. I had the terminal tackle box which worked well but I dropped it in a parking lot breaking about half the lid off but I still use it. Allen

NEWBIEE needing info on were to buy lure making products.
Sorry didn't answer the original post :-[ Jann's is good for plastic crankbait bodies but check out lurecraft.com or luremaking.com in that order for your supplies. I say that order because luremaking.com is in Canada and the shipping is more but they are good to deal with. Allen

A lot of people just use regular foil? I use tape from Wal-Mart that looks like foil duct tape but I forget what it is called? A role the size of a normal duct tape roll is like $6? Allen
