i'm counting on you bro... i wanna see some dsaavedra custom swimbait fish!

congrats on the biggest zipper i have ever seen, the biggest senko i have ever seen, and 20 years great day and great fish. snotrockets are pickerel. they are very slimy lol.

DEFINITLEY! the mohawk in combination with the enormously oversized sunglasses make it very epic. glad you guys had a good day.

Your mom says "Hi" from RI. this is a fine example of one of the very few times your mom jokes are applicable and actually funny. epic win

you dont need to remove the original finish. you can just paint right over it. of course, you could remove the original finish, but it really isnt necessary. you may want to take some very fine sand paper (300-400 grit) and just sand the entire thing with that so that the finish isnt so slick, this will let the paint adhere better. no need to completeley remove the finish though. as for primer, if you are just painting one solid dark color like you said, then multiple coats of the color should do fine. if you plan on doing lighter colors, you might want to paint the whole bait with a white primer and then do your paintjob over the primer. there are several ways of sealing a bait. i dont think there is a "best way". each person has his preference. Me, i prefer putting 2 coats of devcon 2 ton epoxy thinned with denatured alcohol on the bait. this method hasn't given me any problems yet, if problems arise, i will look for other methods. some other common methods are flex coat, dick nites, unthinned epoxy, automotive clear, and im sure there are some more.

yup.

thanks guys (except burley ). you guys are seriously great and that is the main reason why i visit the site so much! great guys, great fun, great help, GREAT FISHIN!

had a great day today. i havent had a day this good since back in march during the spawn. i got permission to fish at my friends farm pond, which nobody fishes. he showed me his farm and pond on google earth, and i saw the road leading to the pond. when we went to the pond this morning, we drove down the dirt road and then there was a gate that was locked. we weren't about to unlock someones gate, so we left and went to a different pond down the street that we have access to. about 30 minutes and one bass (dad's bass) later, my friend sent me a text message asking where i was. i told him about the gate and he told me to come back to his farm. so we did, but what we didnt know was that we went in the wrong entrance to the farm ;D he told us to go to the other entrance and then we just went straight down to the pond. the pond was pretty big, and covered in duckweed. i caught 9 bass at this pond, and my dad caught 8. all the bass were caught right up against the shore, near some kind of wood cover. these bass were so dark and pretty, but i forgot my camera. :-[ i took a cellphone picture of about the average size bass we were catching. most of the bass were 12-15 inches long.

sounds like an overall fun day Hudson. next time reel in the slack BEFORE you set the hook ;D

i was looking thru their gallery on their website, and it looks like they do some really nice work! i hope yours turns out great.

someone posted this about 2 weeks ago. it seems they have sold out all their best swimbaits. the ones left dont look so appealing :-/ i was gonna make an order a few weeks ago but i never got around to it... ;D

where do i go to get Ares?

can you tell me more about Ares?
