Thanks for info. Water pump changed out and was a piece of cake.

Even if you starting out on repaints its not cheap. The rewards are nice when you see a good job completed and for relaxing for a couple of hours. Listen to the guys advice on here and do it right the first time and you will save a lot of money that way.

Fishing partner has a 1988 200 hp Mariner outboard and needs to replace the water pump. Does anyone know where to find a schematic. exploxed view or instructions on how to do? Thanks!

Great looking baits. That's a shame the middle one doesn't work. It looks killer and when the spots have the shad pushed on the shallow points like Monday you would have to hold on.

Nice. Especially like color of the bottom one. Have some painted but still need to seal.

If anyone needs a airbrush think twice beforing from Dixie. I have had one ordered for 22 days and have not received it yet. I was told it would be shipped Monday the 12 after two weeks on back order. Emailed Dixie today and they do not have any in stock as of today (and do not know when) and are not wanting to refund. If this is in the wrong area feel free to move but I thought the people that would be ordering one would see it here. >

Thanks everyone for the info. Maybe I share help and information one day. Ordered a new airbrush from Dixie and Monday will be 3 weeks and have still not received it. They said they were out and it was back ordered.

Thanks! That's a thought also. I have a hard time getting the netting to what I think it should be. Been watching Big M's and they look perfect every time.

Hope wife doesn't check in her sewing room. Hoops could have some paint on them. ;D I didn't do it but we will find you some better ones. : It was probably the new puppy, you know how puppy's are.

What is the best way to hold the netting to have consistent scales from the top of the back to the belly. Having trouble with it standing off at some point in the curves. Thanks!

*** can answer all your questions. Look on here for his site. Built a Shimano green Curado for me and super tuned it and its better than when new. Prices are very reasonable with fast turn around.

I have the automatic Mustang. I purchased the automatic in case if I fall in and hit my head on the way. Fish a lot my myself.

The first brush I purchased was a Iwata HP-CR. It only comes with a .5mm needle and they don't make a smaller tip and needle for this brush. I will check the Eclipse out. Thanks for the info.

Does the Jann's baits run true and have good action to them. Looking at ordering some to paint on.

I bought mine from Simmons Sporting Goods. They have a Ebay Store and a Buy-It-now $149 and then I asked for a store ticket. The sales slip came with order and I mailed it in with box ends for the rebate. You could always email them and check to be sure. I had to pay Alabama sales tax on reels and shipping also but ended up with about $110 in each reel.

I am going to purchase a new airbrush. You guys painting tell me what i need. I know top feed as that is what I have now but will not paint hairlines. Thanks in advance!!

Owner 4/0 J hook. No flex in the hook on set and the cutting point one of the best if not the best. But their $3.79 for five.

But they don't flex and when you hook set it sinks. I usually get them at Academy. Purchased some on Ebay one time but you don't see the 4/0 J hooks there much. It would be nice to perchase them in the 25 Pro Pack. Thanks!

Where would you buy Owner 4/0 J hooks to get the best price?

Welcome from Springville, Al.

I've never seen the show. Problem being that most of these show on Sat. or Sunday morn. I work two Saturdays of the month and fish the other two and church on Sunday mornings. A real life show would be nice and not private lakes.

When I was about six y.o. my Dad carried me to the creek (old swimming hole) and I caught my first fish. I haven't ever stopped since and will quit when I die (or they pry my cold stiff fingers from that rod)

Thanks for the info. Sometimes the .5 is just not fine enough and I end up using one of my wifes artist brushes. She kinda frowns on this.

I have a Iwata HP-CR airbrush. It came with a .5mm needle. I have not been able to get a fine line of less than 1/16 inch which is suppose to be the smallest line it can paint. Question is if I get a .3mm needle will it give me a small enough line for my lure painting or do I need to purchase another higher quality airbrush. Thanks!

December, Jan. and Feb. jigs are especially killer. Fewer bites but larger fish. Other months catch five on cranks and plastics then to a jig if in tournment.Gotta luv them.
