    Squirrel Tail?

    Ok I saw some great ties using Gray squirrel. So I wanted to get one. Saw some at Bass pro. Things look like a kip tail. What they do give them a hair cut? Hello gray squirrel have long hair not crew cuts.  Am I missing something?

    Ok what's going on with Do-it jig molds?

    0 warning points Posted Today, 09:08 PM I got two new molds from Barlow's in today the minnow head jme-7-a1 and the jrs-7-48. First thing I see is there is no post in the hook eye for the hook to set on. Both molds are like that. Seems to me the hook will flop around more and cause more  bad...

    Erie jig mold JES-6-A

    What I like about this mold, is i could use a 2/0 Ec635 on a 1/2 oz jig.Only thing is it has a ball collar. Want to tie on it but would also use soft plastic on it. Is a ball collar good for that (never used a ball collar before) BTW if you have this mold is it easy to pour. How good is it as a...

    Baits with eyes

    These are open pour baits. Easy to do bellies, tails not so much. The color are from my hall of fame. Got well over 150 colors of baits. So as I catch a keeper fish I put it on a list. This is just some of them on that list. Both molds are from LC and are RTV. Just thought I would share.
