Wife thinks it may be a pet someone let loose. Went back and there was a second albino one that would come within reach. She fed them a bagel which they took back to their nest. Allen

Fishing from the bank at a local creek and went to change baits to find this. It didn't want to get out either. Had to flip over the bag to get it out. Allen

Whopper plopper catches every blade of grass preventing the tail from spinning. Allen

I will say that is the best SM river crankbait I own. Allen

Picked up two of these after seeing the ones a buddy was re-painting from being chewed up on the Potomac. My 3 best are an old Rebel Zell Rowland, LC G-Splash, and a Team Diawa one I found on Ebay. Allen

Bottom color in clear halo flake There is some smoke green crystal (What War Eagle uses for their Mouse color) I cannot find that exact color anywhere? Look at the two I posted below and see if they will work? And if you are painting the heads yourself the green paint looks like Wicked Detail Moss Green over white or pearl.

Hard to see on my phone what color it is? I will look on my computer later and see if I can identify it. Allen

Zoom has always worked for me. Allen

They make them in colors besides green pumkin? Allen

Couldn't find any I liked so I started making my own. Allen

Did you lose your re-election? Allen

Rarely do I use trailer hooks and if I do short shank ones work best. Like jerkbaits if they are just swiping a spinnerbait without committing you need to make a change. Color, retrieve, etc. make small adjustments until it works. Right now on the Upper Potomac they are hitting spinnerbaits like a freight train. There are 3 different baits working right now that I just have to figure out which one they like best that day. Allen

Home | Mustang Wire Products Mark at Mustang Wire finally fixed his website. This is where I get all my wire keepers, weedguards, and spinnerbait frame. Allen

In Western Maryland it has been a spinnerbait on the river for 2 weeks. Square bill was working really well one day. Caught a bunch of lake LM on a Ned creature bait. Allen

Looks correct to me. Allen

Calipers battery is dead so I need to figure out where to get one. I use two different wire weedguards in baits. One one that Ned is the lightest and personally only good for Neds. Other one is a twisted wire I mainly use for tube heads. Allen

Looks like I now have a local guy to help me even if he put the spinning reel seats on upside down. Allen

Not sure the weedguard size I can hit it with the calipers to see. The reason for the bend in the weedguard is two fold. First the first thing that pokes the fish is the hook, second is that the weedguard doesn't blind the fish. Allen

Sand down where the bill use to be, cut a lip slot and glue in a circuit board bill to fix it. Allen

Keitech Fat Impact in Pro Staff is the best for bluegill pattern I have used. Allen

Finished head, now the waiting game for the other hooks to arrive. Allen

So I have some $150 airbrushes and some $20 ones as well. For most of what I do I really like some of the cheap brushes. No they cannot do the quality of detail but nothing I paint requires it? I am painting basic patterns and if I want gills, craw lines, etc I use a stencil. Look into the brush MN Fisher posted above and a Harbor Freight airbrush compressor. Wicked brand paints over regular Createx for less problems. Pearl paints are the hardest for me to mix and shoot well. Just throwing some lessons I have learned through frustration and airbrush tossing. Allen

Looks like you have a new topwater. Allen

Crayfish colored crank that dives deeper than the water you are fishing. Grind it through the rocks and it looks like a crayfish scurrying along the bottom. I catch way more SM in moving water than LM in lakes. Allen

That's my guess as the Fat Impacts are .8 sizes and the regular Impacts are not. Allen
