I had 45 of the old warts and couldn't catch a d**n thing on them. Switch to a Bandit or Rebel Deep Wee R and started catching them. Sold most of them off for crazy money but kept a few just in case. Allen

Does this site do auction donations? I have been a part of other places that you can donate stuff for auction to support a cause. Wondering if there is one here as I have some stuff I would donate to help a good cause. Allen

Heard several places have them back in stock. Allen

Use Yamamoto all the time and plan on trying the Rage one in a weed filled lake I fish. Allen

California is slightly above Syria for places I would like to live. Having spent some time there for work I know the area is beautiful but the state government I could not handle. Allen

Funny scale of 1 to 10 that's about a 2.5. Allen

Some of the things I have heard of over the years to do. File the blade part of the buzzbait frame a little square. File both the blade and rivet where they meet which will make it squeal more. Crimp the rivet in place, heard this will make more noise because the blade is rotating against a stationary object versus one that can move. Bend the wire to make the head drop down a little deeper into the water and improve hookups. Allen

Looks like my boat after someone else fishes with me? I never have to buy senkos I just gather all the ones left in my boat. Allen

My lunker lure buzzbait I found in a tree. Thing was so loud you almost wanted ear plugs. Caught more fish off that buzzbait than any other. I still have it but the last fish it caught was a 46" Tiger Musky so it has been medically retired. Allen

Have not stopped for about 3 years straight. What I make changes but I am always working on something. Allen

Similar but not the same. Allen

You must be psychic as I just finished a couple of these last night. Allen

Just trying to make enough for the shows for now. I have bo idea how its going to go as far as sales. Allen

What you are wanting to do with the bait I agree with everyone else, Red Eye Shad. Others will work but none that I have tried shimmy on the fall like a RES.

Just pour your own or get someone to make the heads for you. I won't say anything negative about another bait maker I just don't know how he came up with such a high price? Allen

Taking a break from spinnerbaits to start cranking out some tubeheads. Everyone and their brother uses them around here so I need to make a ton of them. For some reason they have been hard to find? I have the supply problem of that solved. Allen

Going to send you some heads, tie me some of the gray over white ones, green pumkin, and some solid black. Allen

One recommendation would be if they are not working would be to bend the arm from the head to a higher angle. It would help the bait run better and not swing side to side as much. Allen

This is how I break it down. Allen

I have like 50 of those jigheads in my garage in 1/8oz. Someone sent me one and asked if I could make a bunch before I knew what they were. Its a simple design that I can see why it works for that application and at $10 for 2 they are mighty proud of them. Allen

So I did an experiment like 15 years ago with hair jigs. It was freezing cold in January and I had cabin fever. I took a couple different jigs down to fish off the bank at a place that always holds fish no matter what. Water temp was 36 degrees and ultra clear where I was at so I could see what the jigs looked like in the water. Marabou and bucktail just went to a point which had zero action to it. The bear hair however kept its form and the individual strands of hair barely moved. To me it looked like something alive that was very cold and not trying to expend any energy. I can't explain it exactly but it looked so natural I then understood why it worked. Add a pork chunk to it and it completed the package. The closest thing I have found to bear is the stuff Punisher sells but it still does not compare IMO. Now if I could only find some polar bear hair that I could dye green pumkin I would be set. Black bear isn't that hard to find but brown and polar have been tough. Hell I would even try some panda if I could get a hold of some. Allen
