Wife said I should be flattered and told all her friends. Allen

Devcon 2 Ton 30-minute epoxy would be best to start with. You can thin it and give yourself more time by mixing a little rubbing alcohol in with it. There are other clearcoats out there but start with this until you get some experience. Allen

It will last longer than most store bought baits. Allen

Not true! I had another guy ask me out on a date. Now I get my wife or daughter to buy it for me. Allen

I will keep an eye out for them at Ollies. I do have a bunch of the weights that are used on these. Allen

See if you can find some Daiichi Death Traps in size 8. I forget where I bought my last set of hooks for the Pointer 65sc. Allen

Pointer 65sp in Ghost Minnow or Baitfish Silver and I wear them out. I know everyone has there favorites but I have probably caught 2k fish on these 2 baits in the past 10 years. Allen

Only thing I do different is in lakes that have both I can use bigger baits. All the clear water around here natural colors work best for both SM and LM. Lucky Craft Ghost Minnow is the best color overall and I will throw the 100sp in lakes with LM instead of the 78sp. Allen

Try the Jackal color cola. I am a GP guy day in and out but for these cola has been the best color for like 10 years. Luckily I found someone selling off a bunch of them at $2 a pack so I am set for a decade or so. Allen

Gluing them on Loctite Gel. Eyes already in place coat over them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails fingernail polish. You will lose the lure before the eyes come off. Allen

Personally I don't think much about what braided line costs because it lasts for years. Using 50lb Power Pro on my frog rod that was spooled in 2017. Allen

Guess I am the only person who thinks that the whopper plopper sucks? I had high hopes for it but a single blade of grass stops the tail from spinning. Tiny torpedo I can be dragging a 4' limb on the hook and the blade still spins. Allen

I use a lot of these when the water gets clear. Pictured is a 1/16 1 hook and a 1/8 2 hook that I make. Different sizes of hooks can be used but these are the ones I use the most. If you can't find any I can just send you some of these. Allen

Can't post them here for copyright reasons. Allen

Ball head will work. Allen

I could probably get everything in the boat if I tried? It would definitely sink though. Allen

I recommend watching some of the lure painting videos on YouTube. Most will tell you exactly what colors they are using. This is how I found out about sepia. Allen

That term is no longer used as it is offensive, they are called Appalachian American's. Allen

Airbrush paints I use the most right now: White Black Brown Orange Crimson red Pearl Translucent gray Detail moss green Detail sepia Now I have a lot of different colors but I use the ones above the most. Allen

Caught 9 bass on these so far this year from the bank. Ultra secret color= brown, they are so dark they are almost black outside of sunlight. Allen

Somebody in the state of Maryland that has more tackle than me. That's not a bait monkey its a bait silverback gorilla at his house. Allen

I have just about every skirt making tool made and this is the one I have used the most. Allen

Wish they would not have changed this on as it was my favorite. I have been using it since 2005 and my last one was stolen. The new ones are ok but different. Allen

3 I use the most are: Hawghead Baits 3.5 Original Gitzit Hooked up tackle 3.5 slim tube Allen
