I need to learn to use my electronics so I was wondering if anyone has a DVD that they would recommend? Nothing advanced just yet but basic stuff? The only thing I had to learn with was the Hummingbird manual which flew out of my boat on the Potomac. Allen

Try having a spinning rod made on a St. Croix premier crankbait rod blank? All my crankbait rods are Premiers and they work great. Allen

Harshman thanks for posting that! I have been trying to figure out how to pour those hitchikers in my do-it mold for about a month. Allen

You can use nail polish but somtimes it will react badly with the paint? I use it to apply glitter coats over Devcon epoxy on baits. Allen

Do you have any 4" Kinami flash baits in Natural or Gold shad you would like to sell or trade? Allen

That is the only color senko I could not catch anything on? I actually gave all of those away that I had. What I use 90% of the time is: Natural shad, watermelon, gold shad, green pumkin, junebug and whatever random color I grap out of my senko box in case color doesn't matter that day. Allen

Slender pointer 97mr in Ghost minnow produced 3 100+ fish days for me this fall on the Potomac. Now if I can only find one in baitfish silver I will be set. Allen

It is a good time for rod-n-reel maintenance too. Allen

Why does the x-rap work for everyone but me? They do not suspend right, the lip breaks off, and worst of all I cannot catch fish on them. Like everyone else I carry;husky jerks, rogues, SK wild shiners and some bomber long A's but in the clear spring water is is LC. I have a big box of stuff in my basement to sell of different stuff I have collected from who knows where? Sometime I need to see what is actually in there so I can post it up here. Allen

I am going to get one of those too just haven't figured out which color yet? 8-) Do you have a Daiwa live-n- cicada yet? It is a topwater with two paddle wheels on the side like an old steam boat. Allen

Even though I have curbed my spending on a lot of tackle these are still my weakness. I just cannot help myself when it comes to these baits. Right now I have 2 X-92 Megabass Edonis jerkbaits sitting on my desk I found on ebay. If there is a high end bait from Japan I probably have 3 of them in my basement. Below I will list them to see if anyone else has the same problem. Lucky craft: Pointers(aka b'freeze), slender pointers, staysee, live pointer, sahara, flashminnow Megabass: Vision, Revenge, X-92 Edonis OSP Asura Evergreen M-1 Inspire minnow Team Diawa minnow HKML minnow Yo-Zuri Xcaliber These are what I can think of off hand without checking? Allen

I like the super chunk style craw trailers. Allen

The only bait I have seen ZOOM sell in bulk 100 bags was their 6" lizards, but that was a while ago. Call ZOOM direct and see what dealers may still sell in bulk. Brad Thanks, What about Yamamoto or Kinami do they sell in bulk? Allen

This is how I use reels: 6-1= Anything that I am using the rod to move the lure like jigs, soft plastics, etc. 5-1= Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, anything that requires a constant retrieve? 4-1= Deep diving crankbaits ( The low ratio prevents my ADHD from kicking in and reelin to fast ;D) Now I will use a 6-1 for spinnerbaits in the fall and like someone else said it is the best all around gear ratio. Allen

Barlows Tackle Staminainc These are good to start with along with Jann's. Check ebay too as there are some good deals there sometimes. Allen

Have someone check out your current ones first. I bought a used basstracker and the transducer was bad. If you decide to get a new unit I know that hummingbirds swivel so you can see them from the front deck. For most of this year I would just turn the screen around when I stopped to fish. Allen

Anyone know where I can buy Zoom baby brush hogs in bulk? Not the knock offs because they do not work as well. Allen

LC Gunnish Allen

I do not think I would use glass on a hot plate? Wal-Mart sells a small set of pans that will only hols a couple of ounces for like $7? I bought some along with a hot plate but have never used either. Allen

Nice! I like the color coordinated split rings. Allen

I have a couple of the craw trailer ones and they work well. The unsteady hand pouring them is the biggest problem so far. Allen

What kind of warranty does it have? You may be able to take it back. If it is not under warranty you may be able to repair it yourself. I know the sell replacement heating coils for the laddle pot I have. Allen
