Metallica Fans!---St. Anger?
hey all you metallica fans (i know there are a few ) what do you guys think about the St. Anger album? i personally like it a lot. it is so much different than any of their previous albums but different doesnt equal bad. i will admit, at first i thought it sounded like trash, but after listening to it a few times it has really grown on me and i like this album a bunch. the songs are very catchy and the lyrics are deep! anyway, what are your thoughts?

Semicircular Scratches on Hardbaits
which is why you should spend half of the money on a rapala rapalas have 7-12 epoxy clear coats and the epoxy will get scratched but the actual paint will not, and you can brush on some clear fingernail polish over the epoxy scratches and you cant see em anymore. its too bad bandit and lucky craft do not have epoxy clear coats :

A great little topwater bait
yeah foam spiders are great for bluegills. i've even caught a few bass on them. i need to make some more and take em out when the weather warms up. theyre very fun to fish on a fly rod!

Casting Lightning Rod Conversion
yeah it was very fun! when i was finished i wanted to do another rod but i dont have any more rods that i would be willing to potentially mess up/void the warranty. i think i might adjust the taper on my hands. i like the looks of yours how they are tapered all the way down the handle, instead of just at the edge like mine.

New Bait I'm Working on
im not really sure....i havent fished my re-finished lures a whole lot. i do plan on fishing this particular one during the spawn though, should be a good producer. i guess i could. i'd feel awfully bad if i messsed that one up though :-/. yup
-
New Bait I'm Working on
you're funny! you supply the lure and i could easily put a sunfish finish on it just like that for a small price .
-
wrong lure? wrong time? wrong place?
if its really that bad just save yourself the frustration and wait till it warms up.

New Bait I'm Working on
yeah his eyes do look good. are they stick on eyes though? for some reason i thought those eyes were affixed to the inernal lead head somehow. for this bait i just popped off the eyes from the original bait and then refinished the bait and stuck th eyes back on. i think they look pretty good.

New Paintjob--Water Drops
the paint must be enamel or it wont work. im not sure what createx is, but if it is enamel then it will work. heck, im using $0.96 cans of walmart brand enamel spray paint, so im sure if you used a good paint it would turn out better.

4/4/08--Big Bluegill on a 'strange' bait...
wow thats very cool. those bluegills fight VERY hard for their size. if bluegills grew to 5lbs, i'd probably drop bass fishing and fish for them! ;D that reminds me of the time my dad got a bluegill that was a little bit smaller than yours, but he caught it on a 7.5" power worm and a 3/0 worm hook!

Casting Lightning Rod Conversion
very cool! i converted one of my lightning rods too! bottom:

New Paintjob--Water Drops
its very simple. basspro96 pretty much got it right, excet for the angle. i have found it gives a pretty bad pattern if you use a 45° angle. from my tests, the close to 0° the better the result. and you also want a very light mist of, because a heavy spraying of paint will cause it to be really dark (like in the bottom right corner of my test). so you wanna keep as low of an angle as possible and be about a foot away or maybe farther. sam, i plan on putting it on a few lures to make em look purdy. not sure if it will attract fish or girls . and im goin fishin this evening and tomorrow morning, so i'll let you know whether or not the dogwoods are blooming .
