Worst guides you've ever experienced?
Alconite and Hardloy are both forms of aluminum oxide and are excellent guides. Don't you make most of your custom rods with Hardloy and Alconite guides? Personally I use aluminum oxide Batson micros with no issues.

Can anyone point me in a good direction for website design help. I need to create one for my custom rod business. I already purchased a domain name from Godaddy. Are there any programs(FREE) that are easy to use that I can just create the website and upload it to the server?

Sprayable Megastrike?
Get a sandwich baggie and use that. Turn it inside out and stick your hand in it, apply Megastrike and then turn the baggie right side out. Just use the same bag all day and then toss at the end of the day. One of best points about Megastrike is the fact that it is Vaseline consistency and stays on the bait longer.

Jig skirt recipes
It is time for me to tie up a new batch of jigs. I want to expand my color selection from solid black and green pumpkin. Please post some pictures of jigs you have created and a recipe for the skirt if you don't mind sharing. I am not very artistic and have a hard time picturing how something is going to look just by seeing skirt tabs. Thank you, Andy
