The guides are not straight? Allen

Plastic, color, glass pyrex cup, old microwave, molds. This should get you started? Check out lurecraft for the molds. http://www.lurecraft.com/catalog.cfm/molds/plastic-molds Allen

I do not think there is a second best jerkbait? Some days the fish just prefer one over the other. Others have mentioned some good baits but I would like to add the Team Daiwa minnow to the list. http://www.***.com/descpageHDRDAIWA-TDM425.html# Allen

Folding lawn chair at Four Locks on a crankbait that I released onto a nearby dock. Snapping turtle on a brush hog, catfish with rod and reel attached, bird on a tiny torpedo all at Blairs Valley lake. Owl that I missed the hookset on fishing a black jitterbug at night. Allen

Do a search on ebay and look at what some of that kind of stuff is selling for? I was bidding on one of those Fat raps with a chartuese back and it sold for like $26. Since a lot of that stuff is discontinued you may not want to fish with it? Allen

Giving away one of my best kept secrets? The only LC cranks I use are the RC 1.5 ones and they work great. Both the gunnish and g-splash are in my top 5 topwater lures but the Sammy just hasn't produced much. For this year I bought some bevy and S8 poppers to try. The live pointers work well for me but not as a jerkait, I reel them slow and they have an action similar to that javalon video. Allen

Try wrapping some solder around the eyelet or hook shank? I would also turn that prop on the yellow bait around? Allen

While I am not sure of the ideal time to use one I have had the most luck during the late summer. Black and natural blue colored 6" Zoom lizards work the best for me but I have not tried to many other baits. Allen

BPS has a Pro Lite baitcaster that is meant for lighter lures. Allen

I have been using a Lowrider spinnerbait rod for two years and think it is great. For the money they are a good buy and I recommend them. Allen

Do you have a link? I have never heard of it. Allen

I agree 100%! The only thing I can add is use 50+lb braid. Allen

Frog I know what you were thinking I kind of had the same idea? A couple years ago when I was at Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri for Military Police school they had a weapons fair that they had all the lieutenants attend. Taser had a booth set up and upon speaking with the rep I said that I wonder what it would feel like to be tased? He said that he would give me some shirts and some Taser stuff if he could tase me in a demonstration? At the time this did not seem like a bad idea I mean it is only 5 seconds and I am tough :-? The last thing the Taser guy said to me was try to resist? Now can anyone guess what the longest and worst 5 seconds of my life were :'( Now I have worked with electricity for years and have been shocked so many times I can guess the voltage but man did that suck! You smile while it is shocking you because it makes all your muscles tense. Now every time I hear something that sounds like that spark I flinch a little. :-/ http://www.taserx26.com/ Allen

Rods and reels are a personal preference like everything else so I am going to recommend going to BPS, Cabelas, Gander Mountain, etc and get a feel of what you like. We can recommend all day long but you are going to be the one fishing with it? Now I would say you should be looking for a 6'6" - 7' medium heavy fast action rod and a reel with a 6-1 ratio. Allen

It is the only mono that I use it works just as well as any other that I have tried. Last year I found spools of it on sale at Wal-Mart for $2 each so I stocked up. Like someone else mentioned I wish they made it in 6 and 8lb clear though. Allen

I have only fished these in a lake a few times and they did work but not enough to give an opinion. Now I can tell you that they catch everything swimming in a river! I have caught tons of LM, SM, walleye and even a 12+" sunfish fishing these. Allen

The most fish I caught in one day last year was on a 97mr Ghost Minnow Slender pointer. For me they work better in the fall than any other time of the year. Allen

Watch out for those BPS hooks I have had a lot of problems with them breaking. Allen

Difference is you can buy Kinami baits at Wal-Mart. Allen

Do they make them in 306 Natural shad? Allen

I have not seen any but you can usually pick up Bevy Shads cheap on ebay? To me a Rapala shad rap RS workd better than a bevy shad at 1/3 of the price. Allen

Check out the link on page 4 of that post I will have to wait until I get home to open it. Allen
