I have one of their lead molds and it doesn't pour the collars very well.

Do you have any pics of what it pours? Allen

Everytime I have tried to clear over chrome paint it dulls. For that spoon I would use chrome powder paint if you want it shiny. Otherwise just clear over it right after you pour before it gets dull. Allen

Still using Quantum baitcasters that are 20 years old. PT 600, 650 and 860 are what I like. These were made in Japan so no crappy plastic parts. I have tried other reels over the years but always go back to these. One of the issues I have is how I palm the reels. Reels that don't have a cover over the paw pinch my hand. Right now I have about 25 of these reels but always looking for the PT650 as I only have 3 and they have seen better days. Allen

It's a 3/16oz football head. Original was a discontinued Hayabusa tungsten head I made a mold of. The Hayabusa heads are crazy expensive if you can find them( $15 for 3). Allen

Bevy Shad 75 in Aurora Ghost Black I think. Allen

Hair and living rubber jig I am working on. I still suck at tying hair jigs and need to find my small weedguards. Allen

Bought a CH1 in Bone to see if it works. Allen

Silver black back Rapala, Jitterbug, Heddon Tiny Torpedo. Allen

Fine art Ghost Wakasagi is an awesome color. Where do I find one of those baits. Allen

No real big fish for me for 2025. Caught a couple 4lb ones all on spinnerbaits or Splash-It popper. Allen

Usually 12 but 10 in clear water. Allen

Cold water I like a 1/2oz white bait with a #5 blade usually silver. There must be something about those copper blades though.I make a lot of baits for a local guy who slow rolls them for winter SM. His are all 1/2oz white with 3.5 and 5 hammered copper blades. Allen

Try the Zoom Swamp Crawler, it has replaced both the Finesse and Trick worm for me. Allen

Sorry to hear this as he was a good man. Allen

Original bags by type in 1 gallon freezer bags. I do put all the Ned size stuff in its own bag. Allen

Zoom Horny Toad is what I use when I need a really big trailer. Allen

I have 6 different boxes for spinnerbaits and constantly switch them out. Still have not figured out what I like best. Allen

White spinnerbaits with silver willows have worked for me in 8 different states. Ponds, lakes, rivers both tidal and non-tidal worked in all of them. Allen

Depends on the year and what I have going on. The older I get the less I like fishing in the cold. Allen

Original bags with all like baits in a 1 gallon freezer bag. This allows me to keep the most baits organized. Hardbaits I keep in plastic boxes. Allen

Start slow and speed up until I start getting bites. I drag the bait using the rod versus reeling. Only time I use it is deeper water like 35'. Allen

Bandit 100 is the second best crankbait I own. I like the 100, 200, and 300 in craw or minnows patterns for river smallmouth. This crankbait has been working for me for 20 plus years. If I could only carry 5 crankbaits. RC 1.5 Bandit 100 Manns Baby 1- Rebel Deep Wee R SK 5xd silent Allen

Don't like to use trailers on a buzzbait. Allen

For lightweight hooks I like Daiichi Death Traps. Allen
