Was making some tulip eye's last night and noticed my bass pro tackle binder sitting close by. I have three of them with worms, grubs/tubes and swim baits but have never found a decent way to mark them so you don't have to dig through all of them. Then the light came on, (dimly but it still...

Picked up a minnow head jig mold to add to my arsenal and finally got around to casting a few and painting them. Took the 3/8 and tried a perch pattern. Black gold microlon tail Tulip Gold glitter & black for eye Watermelon, yellow, white and flo orange body Wooly chenille with orange hackle...

Got a chance to try some of the Netcraft Disco paint in my homemade fluid bed and can say it works better just out of the jar. Pretty much what happens is the the clear paint floats up and the glitter stays near the bottom so when you dunk-n-swirl the jig it just has a clear coat only on it with...

Just wondering what you all use to keep your hard baits in? Rapalas ect. I've been keeping them in a  large 3700 flat divider box but it's getting cramped and just wondered if there was anything better I've looked online but it's pretty much the same of what I'm using only smaller. If not I'll...

I see members and just people in general on sites from all over the world seeming to be buying, selling and trading items and wondered about any problems with sending and getting stuff out of the country. The reason I bring this up is that I was trying to get a thermostat for an older...

Tried some microlon on a couple of 1/32's. Do you think I need to bulk it up more or make it longer? I didn't want to make it so thick that they couldn't get to the hook but maybe a bit more?  Suggestions? Sorry that the pic is a bit blurry, it was either that or the colors were totally off.

I looked through the posts on measuring powder paint out and hadn't seen any mention of these so I thought I'd just throw it out there if anyones interested. If your a shooter and hand loader you've probably seen these before. They are made for measuring gunpowder for reloading and are pretty...

Tried some more zonker strips on stand up jigs.

I saw that Netcraft had what they called Disco powder paint so I threw some into my order. It is pretty much real fine glitter in clear but seems to work better than the mixture that I tried to mix up with clear and Hobby lobby glitter. Tested some on a junebug flake jig I had and it really...

If we could get jig hooks like this I think it would give a person some more pattern options. The Shrimp I posted would look good on the LiLNasty as it has a good hump in the bend like a shrimp and the bend would follow the tail down. Just brainstorming, what do you think?

Practiced on a shrimp for Steelhead and messing around with a stand up leech for Walleye.

Got a new Netcraft catalog in the mail yesterday and noticed a few increases on certain things and a little decrease on others. The UTC thread took a jump of .40 a spool and maribou went up too. Must have been the bird flu that drove that up eh?

When you mess up a tying job on a jig do any of you un-tie it and start over? Do you just go down to the messed up part or do you totally disassemble it and start over? I've got a couple that I should have redone before finishing but like a dumb arse didn't and thought I could save them or at...

Finally got some time to cast up a few jigs with my new stand up mold. Painted a few and I'm staring at them getting ideas of what to tie onto them. I'm thinking that sometimes I could just use a grub or swim type bait but was thinking of a leech using rabbit or maybe some sort of egg stealing...

Just wondered how most of you deal with static cling on feathers and other tying materials? I was just picking through some newly bought neck hackles and just about ended up with a frizzy mess. Their in a plastic bag and that probably doesn't help and I do have a Zerostat anti static gun (that...

I wondered if anyone else had run into this? I ordered some Matzuo sickle hooks from Barlows and had poured a few up and liked the way they looked. Just for the heck of it I took a #1 and tried to bend it just to see how tough they were and it snapped like a piece of glass! I took my needle nose...

Hi Everyone! Came across this site a while back and decided to join in on the fun. Have already learned quite a bit and hope I can maybe help with the things I know about. I'm a dry land wheat farmer and love to tinker with things and pretty much fix or build anything I can. Been casting my own...
