Have been asked about these in the past so thought i would show how they are made. Will post as i go through the process. Going to stock up on a few extras for on the ice. Labor of love for a simple little spoon......... They are pretty much a 'slab spoon' style but downsized for panfish...

Have gotten out 2 weekends in a row and done really good finding the bluegill in one of my local reservoirs. They seem to like the sun shining after the crappy weather passes. :icon14: Last weekend i brought home 26. Today i brought home 31! They have all been 7.5" and over with several over...

Need a little help here trying to determine if there is an issue with my internet or with the actual forum...... Please let me know if you have been getting any error messages here lately when you access the forum pages of the site. I have gotten 'Server Errors' which i know will happen from...

Worked the retail side of the shop this morning..... if we had a puke smiley, insert it here. [___] I would much rather hide in the back room and do the dirty work. :rolleyes: Anyway........................ After working the morning away... trip to the store for RV winterizing garb... picking...

Finally got around to adding some hair and painted blades to these. The blades are painted mostly with candy colors to let some of the nickle plate show through. The orange bait i dipped the blade in gold candy to get the gold blade. - Pearl/white chenille - White barred rabbit zonker (2) -...

Was up in Sandusky over the weekend and stopped in to Pat Catan's, one of the larger craft shops in the area. Found these Wireless Chenille Stems!! $2.99 for a 10 yd card. :cool: Size says 12MM. The black in the middle is a standard size medium chenille i had to help show the size. The new...

Been getting a few days where i could manage to squeeze out for an hour at lunch. Been taking an early break and out in the river around 11:00....... before the heat sets in too bad. Fishing has been tough. Getting skunked a lot and dinked out twice in the past week. Got 4 to 5 fish each...

......Ok, not a farmer by any means, but sure is nice to not have to buy some produce here and there. Have questions for those who garden potatoes at the end, so read on. :) We are a 'meat and potatoes' eating family and have not had to buy 'taters the last 3 major stocking trips to the store...

Down in the dungeon this evening relaxing. Ended up only painting 3 spinner baits....... which are a super rare commodity since i believe the caster of this spinner sold his mold. Yikes!!! Anyway.... these are maybe around 1/8th oz in weight and painted up in known fish catching colors for my...

Got some good stuff in one of the swap boxes a while back. It was labeled 'Copper Pearl' and was in a small plastic container. Pretty sure RonDon was the original owner.... hopefully he can enlighten us with actual product information. :) Here is what i'm working with in the raw. I believe...

Been tying a few big bucktails on 1/4 lead free heads. Actually caught an Erie perch on a one of these in gaudy yellow and green. Then ended up loosing it in the river. Couple have an extra kick of rabbit zonker and all have their share of flash. Really like how the wing-n-flash material...

Currently have been having problems with the database/server/software combination..... they do not seem to like to work together anymore. :dodgy: I am researching a fix to this issue, but everything i have tried does not seem to be the cure. I ran an upgrade on one of the software programs this...

Smalljaw~! Hope you had a good day and maybe got out to find some brown bass. :cake: :jig:

Me and my sidekick left the house last night at 8:15 and back in the driveway by 9:15. :cool: Brought home 18 crappie all 10" plus and 2/8" bluegill. We threw back probably another 10 crappie and gills that were smaller. Pretty darn good for an hour and my son proclaimed that this reservoir is...

I have painted a few of the worm nose heads given to me a little while back and finally sat down with a few last night to tie. Played with some bright colors, crappie on my mind. Still need to do some natural colors. They are the lighter weight W-N heads that are supposed to have the screw...

Got out for 2 hours over the weekend. Love it that one of my hometown reservoirs has some quality crappie once again! Finally finding somewhat of a pattern/location for where and when they pass by....... at least to get a few here and there. Seined some baby bluegill from my pond and had one...

Just wanted to let everyone know that i am aware of the thread view counter not working at the moment. Not sure what is up, but do have a 'support ticket' so to speak in. Hopefully i can get an answer and fix. On the up side..... no server issues in 2 days!!!! :Banane09: That is a record for...

Fished (dusk) from 7:30 to 10:00. Jig about 3' under bobber. Took me waaaaay too long to figure it out and then lost several at the shore. Had to pop it hard several times then let it sit for a painful 10 seconds or so before the bobber would flick, then swim off sideways. Was using a little...

Got your envelope, but my confidence is wavering in our postal service...... maybe it is just my local postal workers??? This is exactly how i pulled it out of my mail box. Jeessh! Luckily, the contents were in a heavy duty ziplock baggie and stuck down at the 'good' end of the envelope.

Warmer weather is slowly settling in! May have to sneak out tonight for a few minutes at dusk to try some new creations. Last night, spent a little while at the vise with bass on my mind. All these are on 1/4 tin heads w/ 1/0 Gami hooks. Some of the pics are from my bench last night and...
