Plastic Lure Bodies
Yes, you will just need to practice with the paint and gun. My rattlecan paint jobs look better than the airbrush ones but I am working on it. Allen

Un painted platic crank ?'s
More than likely they are? They sell a plastic crank that is very similar to a Bandit 200 that works well. Stay away from the ones that you have to glue the two sides together they are a PITA. Allen

jerk/slash bait colors
X3 but for a mild stain opaque colored baits like Pearl ayu, chart. shad are what I use. Muddy water means black jig close to cover as possible. Allen

Which Are The Best Plastic Molds To Buy?
For the price Lurecraft are hard to beat but aluminum is the best. Most of the molds I have are lurecraft but I do have some aluminum. If you are good with silicone, RTV, bondo you can make your own but I have yet to try. The molds JigMan posted look good and maybe you can convince him to make some for you? Allen

looking for 1/8 oz jigs with big hooks.
http://www.barlowstackle.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=6&Product_ID=2020&CATID=57 This is the hook. I was able to glue the weedguards in but some of them came out. Since I glue my weedguards in after powderpainting there is less room for a guard. The mold had to be modified just to accept the larger hooks. You maybe able to just pour them with the weedguard in place? I pour outside and right now there is a couple inches of snow on my pouring table so I cannot try it out. Allen

Do Expensive Polarized Glasses Make a Difference?
While I am not as technical as some of the previous posts for years I wore the $10 Wal-Mart glasses. I was always squinting and at the end of a long day of fishing my eyes hurt. A buddy of mine talked me into buying some Costa Del Mars at BPS that were about $100 and I can say that I will not be without good glasses again! I would rather leave all my electronics at home than my good glasses that is how important they are. Allen

Replacement trebles

looking for 1/8 oz jigs with big hooks.
I have a couple 3/16oz jigs I made on a Gama 60 degree flippin hook with the fine cut silicone. They are buried somewhere in my basement because they didn't work for me too slow of a fall for my taste? This weekend I will try to find them and post some pics. Allen

I know Mudhole was selling some as closeout items but I do not remember that model? Shikari was bought out by ATC (I think that is their name?) and they have discountinued the blanks. Allen

I may never pour plastic again
shawncollinscustoms.com is where I bought the first two and they are hand pour. I wanted more detail in the head so the next two I am getting from tight line which will be spincast molds. You can make your own molds out of bondo, plaster of paris, silicone, RTV, etc. Right now I am making crankbaits out of Aluminite Resin and microballoons in a silicone mold. Allen

For those who make their own jigs and spinnerbaits
You really have to check out fishingskirts.com! He just posted about 20 new colors and was even nice enough to make a roadkill colored skirt tab for me. I just received one of every color he makes in the mail today and man are they nice. I am not on any pro staff or anything but just passing along some info that may help others. Allen
