I'm seeing a lot of palmering goin on so I figured I might need to get on board...

Got a new powder paint yesterday, Bronze Transparent. I like it!

Just a heads up, Rosey's is offering 15% off their entire stock. Not quite as good as last years 50% off everything but if you're needing some powder paint! this could save you a few bucks. I may be getting another pound of Glass Clear 200% Gloss. If anyone wants to get a Group Buy going, I'd be...

My Padna let me borrow his Lee pot & half a dozen of his mold's and today I poured my 1st jig heads. NOW, I'm gonna have to get me one!! My 1st afternoon of pouring (I know in the time it took me to pour these, my Padna woulda had at least twice that many done) I've got plenty of material but...

I just had a thought that the Candy Green I just posted, I'd seen it before. Sure 'nuff, I had posted a custom mix several months ago that looks mighty close. Here's my new Candy Green and here's the mix It's Candy Blue and Candy Psycho Lime Green mixed 1 to 1 and I added 1 part of Clear.

I swapped a couple powder's with a guy in Oregon and ended up with 2 new candy colors. I love'um!! Here's one with nickel Plating on the head and Candy Yellow on top This one is a Nickel Plated head under Candy Green My picture isn't great but I like how both turned out on the Nickel Plated head's

Left to Right, 1/8oz Ultra Minnow, 1/8oz Pro Walleye, 1/12oz Minnow & 1/16oz Walleye.

He was referring to my Springtime "Go-to" Chartreuse/Blue/Chartreuse. Hey LP, is this what you were talkin bout?

A guy bet me a dollar to a donut that this pattern WOULD fill the box come Spring! I'd like to say I agree...

I saw this combination on a 1/8oz RR but since I didn't have one I thought I'd try this 1/8oz Walleye instead. Now granted, the head color is quite different but since my buddy wouldn't let me use his key to Fort Knox!, I had to settle for Metallic Gold powder paint as a base instead of gold...

Tied this today with one of the samples I got from Skip. Tied on a 1/12oz Minnow head with #4 Blood sickle, Candy Purple paint, 4mm Chartreuse 3D eye's, Copper #10 Crystal chenille and feather's I got from the Tool & Material's swap. I don't know what kind they are but they look good. 1 is...

The new Charcoal Grey Metallic powder paint is working well in front of several combinations of materials. I especially like the #10 Tensile Chenille in Baitfish and Olive or Natural hackle for a tail. Here are a few

Only yesterday we just had 1 hour & 10 minutes to fish. First jig in the water at 4:15 & quit at 5:25 with 8 nice fish in the box. Prolly caught 15 & missed several bites. Not a bad "last hour of daylight"! Here's the 8 Plastic did it for Wendell & feathers worked for me.

Got a BAG FULL of powder paint from a buddy that he had left over after painting a big commercial BBQ trailer rig. Its a Charcoal Grey which wouldn't be that big of a deal but after curing a small batch of jigs I noticed they have a very cool metallic look. WADAYA all think?

My buddy Wendell & I fished yesterday afternoon from 1:30 to 4:30 & quit with 20 in the box. All but 3 in the 12" to 14" range with only a half dozen throw backs. I fished 2 new plastics a guy sent me, in tandem and got bit on both colors. Wendell fished tandem Slab Bandits & got bit on both...

Dropped the first jig at 9am and the wind blew me off the lake at 11:30. Finished with 9 fish, all but 2 were around 14". All caught on my hand tied jigs & color didn't seem to matter. Here's 2

Well, new in 1987! Question is, have any of you used sewing thread for tying? All of this was salvaged when I found this under the bed in the Guest Bedroom. It was the late 80's when my wife was sewing up a storm for the daughter's clothes. The rack & thread has been shuffled from closet to...

Just a heads up, I got an email today from Rosey's Powder Paint's and though they discontinued the 10 color, 2oz jar kit, they will reinstate it for Black Friday and carry it thru Christmas. Their regular price for the kit was $49.95 I think but they may have it reduced for the Holiday's. Keep...

I was after the Golden Shiner look andI like how it turned out. and tied up...

Tried the Shoemoo technique with 2 color's of kip last night. Gotta practice more as the hair still "spun" on the shank while cinching it tight. I still don't think I like tying with loose hair though.
