Swivel on Your Drop Shot
These hooks are the best thing I have learned about drop shotting in years. I got a pack of them in a large lot of hooks I bought off Facebook. Desided to give them a try and now generally they are all I use. Allen

Color or location
I would rather have the wrong lure/color in the right location than the right lure in the wrong location. Allen

Hopefully this winter I can experiment with some wood baits. I got an A in wood shop about 30 years ago so I have expert level experience in wood craft. Allen

Jig makers: benefits of pouring?
Using this logic, I have two $3500 Ned heads in my garage. Couple of hours to make the mold and only two poured. I was not happy at first but once I learned how to make molds things got a lot better. Allen

Swim Jigs
If you are on a spinnerbait bite in clear water with wind and the wind stops, throw the swim jig. Allen

Zoom finesse worm
The past couple of years I have been using Owner heads but they are expensive. VMC recently introduced a new hook so now I make my own that are similar.

Difference between rubber skirts
To me they are all a PITA to separate the strands so I don't use it. Allen

Wacky Worm Set Up
Senkos weightless and Jackal Flick Shake 4.8 worm (best bait ever for this presentation) on a 1/16 to 3/16oz flick shake head. Allen

Black Label/Zoom WEC crank bait help
Machine is called a duplicator and I believe Cliff Pace bought the machines from Zoom after Ed passed. Allen

What's your guess as to how this happened?

How Much Would You Spend on Used Baits?
Another thing to consider is time of year. A lot of baits you try to sell today for $30 may not sell. List them for $40 in January and they will sell right away. Allen

What are you doing with the free tackle warehouse sticker?
Anyone that has fishing stickers they don't want I will trade you for something? The Jr bassmasters kids like to put them on tackle boxes,etc. so I can always use more. Allen

What's your guess as to how this happened?
Only thing that makes since is he backed down with one side of the truck on the dock and flipped. Allen

What's your guess as to how this happened?
That's why I posted it? How do you flip a truck upside down on a boat ramp? Just imagine pulling up to that boat ramp to launch and seeing this? Allen
-
What's your guess as to how this happened?
I have seen many failures at the boat ramp but this one has me at a loss of words? Found this on Facebook and everytime I look all I think is how? Truck is upside down but the trailer isn't? On a scale. Of 1 to 10 worst traler backing this person is at 27 Allen

What are you doing with the free tackle warehouse sticker?
I give any fishing related stickers to the local Jr Bassmasters club. They hold a fishing flea market every year to raise money and the kids like the stickers. Allen

Here is my twist on chartreuse/white. Both colors of the skirt and the paint have iridescent blue highlight. Allen

Show Off Your Work!
I have about 300 different colors of silicone skirt tabs and buy any new colors that come out. Charles at fishingskirts.com has made me 3 custom colors in the past because I was one of his first customers. Since I airbrush my spinnerbaits basically, I can make whatever color I want. The past two years I have been making baits based on pictures of baitfish. Some are easy and some are hard? The yellow perch ones I make have 5 colors of paint on the head and 9 different colors of silicone strands. Allen

Such a Shame
Pleasure boats are a PITA in Maryland to deal with. I was fishing the Potomac once and it was early November, so I was not expecting any other boats besides other fisherman. Next thing I know two jet skies blow by me one on each side of my boat. Air temp was like 40 so I was thinking what the hell? Both operators were wearing full scuba suits with googles and looked like henchmen that would be chasing James Bond. Allen

The reason I hate making them is there are 100's of companies making this color. To me it is unimaginative and boring. Allen

Show Off Your Work!
I hate making chartreuse and white spinnerbaits but a buddy asked me to make this. It's a 1/2oz on a titanium frame with beveled willow blades. Allen

Jig makers: benefits of pouring?
The way I got into pouring is I couldn't find Eakins finesse jigs in green pumpkin. BPS was always out of them so someone explained to me how to make them myself. Bought the Do-It mold and the hotpot ladle melter for like $50. That mold paid for itself at least 10 years ago. Now I have a couple more molds and some better equipment to work with. Luremaking is a hobby just like fishing. Allen

Fluke swivel?
I use them for the double fluke rig. Allen

have you met up with any forum members and fished with them?
I have been trying to coordinate a Maryland get together for a couple years. Allen
