I punch the eye on a VMC 7216 hook for mine. If you are using the S link than any straight hook should work. Allen

The guy lives in Indonesia and uses Google translate for correspondence so I don't think you can call. Allen

Tami Janu Ismarno look him up on Facebook. Allen

Today was like Christmas for me as my custom Ned hook samples arrived today. Now I have to make some more molds to accommodate them and wait for all them to be made. Based on my experience with Ned baits I went with a size 1 Limerick hook. For those who do not know that name its what is on a Jackhammer. Allen

I take pics with my phone and then email them to myself. It asks if I want to resize so that is what works for me. Allen I use the same toaster oven! Did you get it at Ollie's? As for spinnerbait spacers I recommend leader sleeves just sligthly larger than the wire diameter. In almost 20 years of making spinnerbaits I have not found anything that works better. Allen

516oz with Super Chunk Jr trailer.

Ones I found so far are different but I will keep looking. Allen

Flip a black jig as close to any cover as you can. I mean 2" left of a laydown not 12 as they pull tight to cover. A lot of the places I fish are clear to stained and when its muddy the fish are predictable. Actually caught my biggest limit of SM on the Upper Potomac doing this. All the fish were caught within 6" of some cover on a solid black SK Pro model jig which has rattles. Allen

3/16oz on a 3/0 is what I use most on 3.5" tubes around here. For the smaller 2.5" tubes I drop down to 1/0 or 2/0 hook depending on the brand. Since I never fish them deeper than 20FOW I have no need for anything above 1/4oz. Allen

I will check my stash and see if I have one. There are like 5 different translucent bluegill colors BTW. Have you tried I love Hard Bait on Ebay? He normally has the best selection of colors. Allen

For me there are 3 jerkbait colors; Translucent, Reflective, and Opaque. I choose based on water clarity and sunlight conditions. Color and action deference's matter more to jerkbaits than any other hardbait. There are days when I try 10 or more different ones until I dial them in. Cranks are crayfish, minnow, bone, and chartreuse colored. I can carry 10 crankbaits that will cover everything I need. Allen

Bait on the left is a RI Smallie Beaver 3.5". Bait on the right looks like something you flip for Goliath Grouper. Allen

Not sure? These I got 500 each sizes 3 and 4 in nickel and polished brass. Allen

This guy lives like 15 minutes from me and I am familiar with most bait makers within 100 miles of me. Allen

Just received these blades today so I had to put them on some baits. Blades are made like the discontinued Jackal Super Eruption ones. Allen

Looks great and that can't be the first one you have made German round nose nesting pliers are the best. I have 3 pairs since I keep losing them. Allen

For everyone with a tin foil hat, jitterbug flip phone, and dialup modem its a old cartoon video. In the video the guy has a huge tackle box full of lures but always grabs the earth worms. Someone changed the earthworms to a bag of Yamamoto senkos. Allen

For baits I make for myself I punch out the hook eye. Allen

The 3.8 Fat Impact works better for me than any other trailer I have tried. If I want a little less action or smaller profile I go with a Damiki Anchovy Shad. Allen

Besides line I could supply 100 people on here for at least 5 years. Luremaking I just ordered 30k custom Ned head hooks. Allen

Going to buy a fake ankle monitor next. Allen

Man I miss being able to go to the catalog outlet! That is where the best deals are found. Allen

Use to go there about once a month and now only one trip in the past 2 years. Can't stand the vacation rental stalkers they have. I have resorted to telling them my PO says I can't leave the state as part of my parole conditions which stops them. Allen
