  • About Me
    Work in Mental Health Industry with adolescents. I enjoy fishing smaller streams for smallmouth bass. I have been making custom lures since 2014. I make spinnerbaits, hair jigs, silicone jigs, wooden jerkbaits and crankbaits. I mostly enjoy making unique, original creations that combine multiple materials/ color combinations.

  1. Absolutely. Especially since you are running a #2 hook on the ones i sent you.
  2. You are going to need a good stick for those stupid tubes. I love my bassx 6’10 mlxf for throwing hair, ned etc. feel is really good to me. I would imagine going up tiers is going to provide an even better stick.
  3. Oh cool. I’ve just been rolling my own from .031 or .029
  4. Yeah, i find gate shears only cut half the sprue and twisting off to be the best. and i added an underspin wire to mine too. Are you bending your own wire or did you get prebent?
  5. This is probably one of my faves. 10 strands orange, 10 strands green pumpkin fish scale, 20 strands green pumpkin pepper, 6 strands of blue, 10 strands green pumpkin fish scale. i also do 1 thats 30 strands black 10 strands junebug, 10 strands blue. Good overcast jig play with it. Modify it how you want. Thats the best part about doing your own.
  6. That a modified walleye mold for the underspin?
  7. Yes, that is the one. I wondered since it has a similar rating to ml-xf rods i have owned. Not sure how great of a small crankin rod that would be considering i run down to size 8 hooks sometimes
  8. I see Lews has a Med Mod fast 7’2” rated 1/8 to 5/8. Does anyone have any experience with this rod or other medium-light and medium rods in the line. I want a soft light rod for whipping out light crankbaits a long ways. In particular shad rap/ berkley frenzy shad style baits. It is at the top of my price range also
  9. Yes its the walleye head. In a way yes just because its already coming to a point so if i just cut it with side cutters it will create a wedge. I prefer working them off with pliers then i hit em with a file. Im not really sure. A taxidermist gave it to me.
  10. If anyonecis interested in ties let me know
  11. Bear bair season is hear in northern IL (sub50 water temp) Unfortunately ive been busy and with temps looking to plummet probably not going to be getting to really hit it until spring.
  12. I dont know if its right but for a standard bait i1/4 to 3/8 i do 1.5” nead to bend and 2.5” bend to tailend. I shoot for the back blade to start roughly at the hook point. Thought being when a fish attacks the back blade he will be inline to get the hook. I fish smallies in current and stick with a 3/O hook though. Again just how i do it. I also stay on the smaller side with ss camo wire and dont fish a trailer often.
  13. Been in hardbait mode this fall. Flatsides are cedar. The two round squarebills are pine. I beleive the jerkbait is aspen because i weighted it for pine and it sank. I tweaked the weight and now it is a very slow rise. Action reminds me of an x-rap. the blue/chart tiger shad is getting eaten up by walleye and smallies.
  14. Its all i use. It resists deformation very well and I use thinner wire because of this. .031 is my go to for 1/4 to 1/2. 3/4 baits can use .031 but due to the big blades i like to use .035 just because the vibration is so much and the drag will cause the wire to callapse more than i like
  15. Walleye are starting to bite on the rock. This little cedar crank is doing work. Lost a couple smallies on it as well.
