Bdnoble84 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 One of My co-worker’s sons is fishing Hartwell this week for the HS CHAMPIONSHIP. so I put together a care package to wish him good luck. Seems like blueback herring patterns are all over the board so just went with some more shaddy baits that had blue in them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thediscochef Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Being a hook snob and price conscious led to me dressing my first treble today. Not a super clean job of it but we will get better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User MN Fisher Posted August 21 Super User Share Posted August 21 Okay - I'm baby-stepping my way into this. Just picked up some plain swimbait heads and wanted to 'spice them up'. Pro-Tec paint from Barlows, some larger eyes for the 1/2oz I got from Amazon and smaller eyes from Barlows for the 1/4oz. Right now, 4 colors should do me: (reverse order) Green Pumpkin, Green Chartreuse, Black and Fire Craw. My setup is bare-bones - cheap craft heat gun, rack I made from scrap aluminum and a brass rod, and a salvaged toaster oven. The wire-rack in back is my 'cooling rack'...also did up some 1/32oz and 1/16oz ball jigs for crappie fishing. Yes, the toaster oven is set to 400 - the oven thermometer was used to calibrate it...dial says 400, thermometer went "uh-uh, 350" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdnoble84 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Proud lure maker moment! I made this inline spinner over a year ago. He was fishing our local stream and finally used it. Spot is 300 yds from my childhood home and my favorite place in the world. This 20” smallie gobbled it. Its the first 20” I ever heard of being caught down there. Ive caught 18s and 19s but never a 20”. Several northern also bit. I think this might be just as good as me catching it myself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
