My plan is as long as I sell 3x what I buy I am fine. If I fished every day for the next 10 years I couldn't use all the tackle I have. Only things I need to buy is 6lb floro and 3/16oz GP bullet weights. Looking into buying like 3k bullet weights from Cast just to be done with buying them. Allen

Never did very well on that color for some reason? Only color worse for me is chartreuse blue back. Allen

Pour with pins then glue in the weedguard after painting and tying the skirt on. That hook is just what I had a picture of handy. Normally I use a 4/0 Gamakatsu 694 hook for my jigs. Allen

Someone on here should be able to pour you some. I have a mold that pours 1/8 and 1/4oz ballheads myself. Allen

I can afford whatever I want but really cut back on tackle buying. For 2026 I will be buying line, bullet weights, and some supplies to finish two spinning rods I am building. The tackle I have will last me past my death. Allen

Flat eye hooks keep the line tie in the same position. Straight eye the knot can move around. Allen

I use a 20 year old St Croix Avid 68MXF with 8 or 10lb floro. Allen

Started with Rapala and they worked well. Never really fished much with Rebel minnows. Smithwick Rogues are what I moved to when I needed a suspending bait. Allen

When painting I go overboard with most lures. That being said the crankbait I painted that has caught the most fish was brown over orange rattle can painted. Didn't even know what clearcoat was and the eyes I used a sharpie. Allen

Don't they still make them? Allen

Same cranks I just fish them slower. Only crank I add is a Shadrap RS which suspends. Allen

Shartop is legit, I have bought tabs from him for years. Allen

That color only catches walleye for me. Allen

7" Power worm = GP, black, and tequila sunrise. Allen

Usually depends on the size of the baits. Smaller heads like 10k pours and the bigger ones maybe half. Allen

Spincast molds are left/right silicone molds so all I have to do is lay a wire in there. Only issue is if the head is not dead center of the mold the wire will not be in the center. Allen

This is why I spent a lot of money getting my logo stamped on spinnerbait blades. Allen

To me there are two styles of baits that justify the cost. Suspending jerkbaits for cooler water are worth the price. Second is top waters; wooden poppers like the Splash it and Yellow Magic. Best walking baits are LC Gunfish and Sammy. Besides how many top waters do you actually lose? I have lost 5 in 30 years with 3 being stolen by muskies. Allen

Just doesn't work very well for me. That said chartreuse/white is the most popular color sold. Allen

They make them in 4/0 and 5/0. Allen

Going to try pouring an Alabama rig head with resin instead of lead. Ones I have are like 1/2oz then when you add all the jigheads it gets really heavy. Allen

For some reason I quit fishing this lure. Thirty years ago my best top waters were a jitterbug and a tiny torpedo. Guess all the hype of newer baits caused me to stop using them. Still carry two in my box; white with a red head and black. Switched over to split rings and black nickel hooks. Allen

That silver black back bait has caught a lot of fish for me. It makes my top 10 list of jerkbaits. Allen

Those Owner weighted hooks are great for a lot of things. Allen
