tennis elbow
My recovery was 8 weeks or thats when he let me go back to work due to waht I do. They told me I would be off 6-8 weeks. I had a guy I work with who had it done under workmans comp and he was back to work the week after on light duty and he tore his again. I thought I had done that also because I have 2 kids 3yrs old and 9 months old the doc said don't lift anything heavier than a coffee cup for 4 wks and I ask how I was going to that if one of my kids were cryin, one day I pick up the youngest and felt the worst pain in my life, so after that watch what I did.

how to make this lure
You can buy crank bait blanks at http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/, Put a screw in eye on the front, take some spinnerbait wire and put it on with a little blade, then put your treable n the back. Sounds simply but coulb work I think.

for all you powder coaters
I use a peice of wire to put in the holes, I bend the end at the bottom so they won't slide off, the wire helps hold them also and you can use it to hang them with to cool. You can use vasoline to put on you wire so it won't stick and cause chips as bad. After I have dipped them and they have cooled down I always loosen them from the wire with a knife before I put them in the oven.

Re-using messed up jighead hooks
I reuse some of my hooks that don't pour right on jigs that I use for myself, you can take a razor blade and scratch off the lead, I have used a torch also when the hook gets hot shake it hard and it will come out of the eye and I have also use a rag and wiped it off after iI run it over the torch a few times.
