Small amounts of tackle making supplies
What specifically are you looking for? Someone on here probably has the stuff just sitting around. If you need some 1/8 hollow beads I have about 3lbs of them so I can spare a few. Allen

Small amounts of tackle making supplies
Gold plated and black nickel are expensive even in larger quantities. Allen

Why do people leave their lures just hanging there when not in use?
Rods I am not using I strap down with the tip forward facing. Ones with follow-up baits I leave about 6" of line and lay the rods tip to the rear with the bait hanging over the boat. If a fish missus a moving bait I can then just pick up a senko rod right away. Allen

Can someone please explain why I would use the first hook versus the second hook?
Those hooks I use based on bait thickness. Allen

The 3 guys I am going to be competing against in the next year. Hopefully you kept the rear blade as that's what makes them special. Allen

Share Your Favorite Spinnerbaits
Right now my favorite spinnerbaits are the ones I don't have to make! There are 183 spinnerbait heads sitting on my bench that need painted. Just a little burnt out right now so I don't feel like painting them even though I need to. Allen

Shimano Jerkbait Boxes
Use to have about 10 of these but sold them all for like $40 each. Not sure why someone hasn't started making them again. Allen

Do they make crank baits the same size as the KVD 1.5 but heavier than 3/8?
Throw that bait all day long on a St. Croix Premier 7'MHM crankbait rod. I do like the LC crank better than the SK in 1.5. Allen

Marabou Jigs for Smallies
Looks like you have a lot of answers to what everyone calls a "Hair Jig". Around here they are the best cold water bait to use. When I say cold water I am talking about sub 40 degree water just to be clear. Bear hair has no equal in this temperature range amd if you have some Uncle Josh 101 pork trailers you are set. We use these in the river for SM In January to the beginning of March when the lakes are frozen solid. Once the water temp hits 40 I will start throwing small tubes maybe some other baits? Otherwise bear hair jigs rule cold water and if anyone knows where I can buy some brown bear hair please let me know. Allen

Southern Plastics going out of business?
Got a message from a buddy that Southern Plastics is closing? They make BPS, SK, and a lot of other companies soft plastics. Per the website they produce 70% of all soft plastics in the US. Allen

P B and J jigs?
Around here it isn't a good color from my experience. It was my #1 jig color when I spent 17 weeks in MO for the Army. What I found is the crayfish there were brown with a purple hue to them. Allen

Horny Toad on a Jig
I have used it before when I wanted the bulkiest profile for a jig. Solid black Horny toad on a 1/2oz black jig with a starflash skirt is a big bait that catches big fish. This is not a numbers bait but if you are in an area with bigger fish and looking for a kicker it works. Allen
