Our family researched several different breeds of dogs after our family basset passed away....... none of us wanted any other breed. Found some puppies that were pretty close by and picked up our new pup last Saturday. To make sure there was some distinction from our last basset, we choose a...

I was ooohhhh soooooo close to winning our little college bowl pick'em. Alas... i failed. :( This is the set of jigs i made for the wiener --- oops, i mean winner. :P I know that Stump is not a bucketmouth angler, but thought i would throw in the xtra pig/jig just in case he gets the urge...

Been on a yellow kick for 2 reasons..... 1: Had very good luck using yellow late in the season of the past fall. 2: How many baits/lures do you see in the store that are yellow? Maybe it is just my region, but the smaller somewhat local places i buy my general fishing gear they have very little...

Hope you all have a great Christmas..... ...and get to spend time with loved ones. Everyone be safe. :)

Reading the recent 'zonker' post reminded me that i wanted to see if anyone has tried these yet? Bass, pike or saltwater anglers who want big, long fur zonks may have an interest in the Finn Raccoon - http://www.wapsifly.com/fiz.html - link is to Wapsi that has a decent description of them and...

There were reports of wide spread outages on the web host servers affecting PHP and database usage most of the morning and early afternoon - looks like it is getting straightened out now. The PHP is still running a little wonkey, so it could still be touch and go. This was all on the server...

Had to put him down today at 12 years old. He was my daughters best friend and real live dress up companion. She is taking it very hard. :( She even had him immortalized for her 9th birthday. He was a faithful watchdog.... ...while he was awake. He was MY companion...

.....into a workable jig for the spinning rod. :jig: I can't even guess how many river fish i have caught on a gold cone head - pearl chenille body wollybugger. Many of them falling to pieces as continued to catch fish. Just about every species in my local river has fallen for it at one time...

Video should show they are not just bottom feeders. Check this out!!! :cool: [video=youtube]

What web browser do you use most? I had used Internet Explorer for years and just recently (2-3 months) switched over to Chrome. Has taken a while to get used to using the developer tools and general settings but do like it better than IE now. The spell check feature as you type no doubt has...

Have had a little time over the last few days to go back through my 'things to do' and put some of the tutorials and patterns up on the main pages of the site. Pattern - Smallie Tail - By FuzzyGrub Pattern - Blurple Bunny - By JUNGLEJIM1 Tutorial - Soldering PinMin/Ice Spoons Video - By...

After finding some interesting ties on another site, had to try something..... similar to what i saw. These are 1/4oz. and used lots of different materials. I don't have all that many colors of deer body hair for spinning, so used the hair from the top side, base of some bucktail that flared...

I stumbled across this site today: HillBrandTackle Lots of interesting patterns i may have to try - and some look curiously similar to ones i have seen here. Maybe we do have a few 'lurkers' that are taking notes. :rolleyes: First place i have ever seen the Roo pattern outside of THIS site...

Wife and i have talked of totally re-organizing our basement for a few years now. Last week, we rented a small dumpster to clear out the 'junk' we no longer want and made a trip to lowes for lumber and plywood to make new shelving. Only about halfway through the cleaning, but looks like the...

Anyone else out there spending their rip roaring Saturday night sitting by their vise? Want to tie a few? :beer: Finished up my swap jigs and now on to some odd balls for my personal box. First one i did was a bright 'n flashy chart/orange. Next up will be a Black/Purple...... or...

Recently cured a bunch of heads that had been sitting around for awhile and took some pics. Been trying to come up with some really glitzy looks. These were all done with a healthy base coat of mica powder. Left to right: First one is just the mica then tapped on gold holo and chartruese...

You should know me by now..... stuck with a decision so need to beat it to death before i jump. Get out your sticks. I may move (maybe delete) this thread after we discuss it, but REALY TRULY want HONEST opinions from the regular members who log in daily, or weekly, or monthly. You are the...

It was brought to my attention that there are some issues between a recent update of the Firefox web browser and the forum here. The codebuttons (that let you adjust font size, color, bold italic, insert attachments, links video, etc.) just above above the reply frame do not work properly if...

Graphics tech question...... does anyone on here have the full blown version of Adobe PhotoShop? I am wanting to create a FavIcon for the website - the little picture that shows in the Tab of your browser - but do not have a graphics program that will export in .ico format. Pretty sure PS does...

I end up doing alot of multi-color painted heads and not too long ago started using powder to create one or two color eyes. Had gone through alot of problems where the paint would sag or slip on the head, due to gravity, once the paint would start to 'flow' and it got up to temp. Nipples off...
