LBH using my Plastic Melter, only way to go built about 35 so far. http://www.dropshots.com/MBroggi#date/2008-02-02/15:26:18

A 115A/hr battery is pretty low rated, a Walmart 29 series is 205-215 and Trojans 31 series are 225 A'hr Also a 55 lb is pretty small on a 18' boat . 2 Walmart 29 series pos to pos & neg to neg will yield 12 volts with twice the capaicy. FYI they are $64.99 and have a 18 month warranty. MAxxMarine is the model. Replace every year under warranty if ya know what I mean.

Here is mine. Lets Pour..............

I support those who support us. That big puppy on the right is the new kid on the block, FURY. But it's a lightweight. Tempest weigh's in @12.5 lbs and the FURY @ 10.6lbs Cant wait to run it.

That is not true, at least in SC. Some of the mustang auto PFd's are classified as a type V, which must be worn to count as a PFD. If you are concerned obout it , get a type II Mustang, which is in the same class as those orange around the neck PFD's and does not nee to bo worn all the time My Red BASS Mustangs are Class II I also have a Sospends that is a Class V with Class 2 performance when worn and label says " MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES" I feel safer with my Sterns full bulky vest one while doing XX mph down the lake.

At our last Federation meeting we were told that a meeting and annoucement will take place that will allow PERMITTED Tournaments on Stafford and Echo that we could use our big gas motors.

Tin, I would reccomend consulting a Dry Cleaner or someone with a bit of experience. There is also somethign called a care label and will give you a CLUE on proper care, Gortex can be D/C only as well as "Do not D/C " Gortex is a membrane and the wrong laundry soap can even mess up the properties of the high tech material. Again look to a professional, for what you paid for that out fit, it needs some special care.

OK one from the cheap seats

Ben great interview, how you have progressed as an angler is just what the Jr Angling programs had truley wished for. I firmly believe we will see you back at the Classic in years to come with many different hats. One I bet will be a competitor, with a college education. My hats off to you buddy.

If the nozzel is to big it clogs the mold. You have to shoot a stream right down the middle of the molds. 350 degrees will get you plastic that comes out of the nozzel like 2% milk i would say. If you get it hotter say 355 them it's closer to water but your playing wiht fire. I find if it is smoking coming out of the nozzel its just a bit to hot. If you are using anything bigger than1/4" hole in that nozzle thats your problem. your putting so much plastic sown the hole it does just what the gas pump does it over fills the molds and once it does th eplastic doesnt keep going down the hole in the mold. I even notice since we have found the largest nozzle we can use if the stream isnt going right down the hole in the mold dead center is will do that. Thats why we have a jig the mold sits against and then it's alwasy perfecty centerd over the hole and the plastic goes stright down without touching the sides. Once warm the molds do much better. We get maybe 1 bad one every 10 molds. wen we do we just put it right back in the pot a remelt. GMAN here is what I have made to stir in a presto, this is the stronger 1/45hp motor the first one was 1/60 HP this one is rated twice as much inch pounds of torque. http://www.dropshots.com/MBroggi#date/2008-02-18/18:49:56

Well work on finding a single angler to Team you up with. Stay in touch could you PM us a phone number?

WebRoot SpySweeper or Counter spy are alwasy rated top 2. I have had excellent luck with webroot spysweeper

Walmart for all mine. How did you pour and where were the voids? Type of molds?

18' with 150HP 57-63mph 19' with 175 HP 63-68mph 19 with 200HP 68-73mph This is most Rangers, Stratos, Tritons, Basscatts, Champions set up right with jackplates and good props. some a bit faster by 1-2mph tops deduct 1mph for every 100lbs you add in people and tackle.

Bassnajr, I was fortunate enought to be on the water everyday of that Classic I was the observer/boat tower for Davy Hite. Some of the anticks those guys did while stuck in the locks was unreal. Better than any SN live. After Ike had livewell trouble they interviewed Davy and asked him how his Triton live wells were. He replied "they work just fine if your turn them on" the camera guy almost pi---d his pants. Lasy year I drove Ike up to the water for the JWC and on practice day he left as soon as I dropped him in. After the National Anthem they called for boat One that was him with one of the RI JR Bassmasters he had left 30 minutes early. While he has done some odd things people need to know the other side of him. The night before practice of the JWC there was at least 20 kids in the lobby of the Biringham Convention Center at MIDNIGHT. He had set up soda cups and put $20.00 bills in them if the kids got the jig in the cup they got the $$. Well the kids were the state champions and I think he made several ATM runs.

Thanks and yes they all do. I hope to save a few bucks as 5 of us fish out of 5. At 450 5" sticks for $25.00 afer the initial cost of molds and a few cents for colors and glitter. Plus to hand a out bags to the Jr Anglers who dont have a huge fishing budget is rewarding. Hopefully a few kids in the Jr program will get into it and who knows were it will go. My wifes grandson would make them for hours if I let him. Cant wait till one of us catch our first fish on our own plastic. I've looked int a patent and am tossing it around. Just the photo's and video's have turned into 9 request. Hope to get a bit more into the manufacturing after the Classic.

I have 3 of Dels and you cant beat the quality of the molds as well as Del-Marts customer service. While the 2 pc are $60.00 and up there are many 1 pc like the trailers and stuff that are as low as $22.00 Aluminum is the way to go. BUT>>>>>> I have to give Jig-Mans Bondo molds a try. They looks as defined as aluminum.

Woaaa you didn't say you were competing for a State Championship in 14 days. Do you need any special colors? let me know i'll do my best.

Tin looks out for his sister, she is the only one who shows him how to fish as well as how to WIN..... At least in 2 ;D ;D7

You'll be coming to New York this summer for the JWC??

Here are some tips for people making their own. http://www.dropshots.com/MBroggi#date/2008-02-14/16:30:54 some tips. Dis-assemble http://www.dropshots.com/MBroggi#date/2008-02-14/16:29:34 Setting Paddle Depth Must be 5 1/2" from the bottom of the support 5 3/4" will scrap bottom and scratch pot, very critical but adjustable. But you can trial and error. YOU will hear it SCRAPE if its to close. The sound of teflon being grinded off Thats a NO-NO...

BassPro96 , I tested out a new pouring pot tonite and made you these. I'll send them along for you to tryout once the pile gets a but larger.

Get one of these and go to town. Microwave and a pyrex doest produce a small stream Video of a jig trailer like a Paca Craw http://www.dropshots.com/MBroggi#date/2008-02-02/17:11:34
