Duckaholic, I have been purchasing some cheap crankbaits that are made in china of course but they have an awesome color scheme and tear bass up. My problem is that they are not coated in a "clear coat" like you use and the paint scheme doesn't last through very many fish. {Those spots and their teeth} What would be a good product to spray them with or seal them with? I know nothing about this kind of stuff.

Great job, I bought some bright orange fingernail polish to try on some of my older crankbaits, Maybe it will help a little bit. I got to noticing that some of of the crawdads that were in the bass's mouth had bright orange dots on them and on the tips of their claws and some do not, Those are more of a pumpkin green/brown color. Idk I guess there are different breeds of crawfish.

Lol, pretty cute stuff right there. Kids amaze me with some of the things they can come up with.

UPDATE! My representative just called from the courthouse and so far has traced my land back to 1958, The road was there, but nothing recorded so far, that states a recorded easement. This was originally sold by a real estate that is long gone. This road was there before the lake was ever constructed and flooded and back then people didn't worry about easements because everyone could get along. The real estate saw it was going to be lake front property soon and sectioned parcels off, would be my guess but IDK guys ??

I have the same one. It is an XDS correct? Oops never mind, I overlooked the 13 rd mag part. Mine is a XDS which is very accurate but not many rounds.

My two cents: First; look into a sneaky pete or that type of holster. Most people just think it's a cell phone case. As for summer carry there are many options and choices, However the best answer is what are you comfortable shooting.. A well placed 22 round, is way more potent than a 50 cal that misses the intended target. I carry 9mm mostly, however in certain situations like when I am preaching, I carry this. Double barrelled 22 mag shown below. I actually shot a field rat with this gun at 10 yds in my barn. It is not my first choice of course, "but is loads better than a rock". When I first took my CCP, The instructor ask my what my comfort range, If someone pulled a knife and started running at me? WELL, I said about 300 yards and he cracked up. The truth is and what he doesn't know, is that I often shoot across a powerline where I hunt at a friends place and with my ruger 308, I kill deer regularly, so I was just being honest. lol Whatever you choose, practice often and always pray for the best, but be prepared for the unexpected.

"WOW, I don't consider it luck, I consider that blessed"! People need to learn to keep their booger hook off the bang switch!

Simple is always better. 2/0 for most everything I fish, Until I get into 10in or above worms then I go bigger.
