Trying this as a poll Having been casting a lot of jigs, I find myself dreading casting multiple sizes at the same time. 5 - 6 sizes of hooks and trying to keep everything neat and orderly and properly sorted really slows me down. Just wondering what everyone else thinks. Single size or multi...

This started in December 2012 last trip of the year and we started out at 35 degrees 10 - 15 mph winds. Perfect Walleye weather then the rain and snow started. We were doing pretty good had 11 of our 12 total limit and were trying hard to limit out on the last trip of the year. Weather turned...

A couple FB friends and I have been playing a Music trivia game for few years. Kinda fun so I thought I might run it thru here and see if there is any interest. Post some lyrics from the song, post how it apllies to you. Next respondent does the same. So to get this started, here is a song from...

This AM, buddy and I took the "Yard Sale Yacht" to a local lake for our first boating trip of the year. We got to our favorite ramp and were surprised to see a line. (At 5am there aren't that many starting out). While waiting started talking to the guy in front of us who is a local and usually...

Went fishing a bit later morning and got to my favorite saugeye spot only to find an elderly gent occupying my spot. Being happy go lucky, I went the opposite way to another hot spot, I proceeded to get fishing and had my limit in about 2 hours. Packed up and headed down to the path. I noticed...

Been trying to get the old tiller fired up. Pulled head, cleaned valves, replaced carb (cheaper than rebuilding). Got it all back together, new spark plug and no friggin spark. Tore it all the way down again only to find the coil/module whatever you wanna call it is toast. 3 more days of waiting...

I know this is an endless discussion but I think I got a new twist and possibly a discovery. Does age of fisherman determine color preference. I was reading some posts on another site and someone was using purple worms as a favorite crappie bait. Something clicked and sent be back to the days...

With all the various jig head styles available and since I lack enough knowledge about the heads and their purposes, I thought It may be useful if members would post a bit about various jig head styles. Please try to post in the following format. If enough information is shared, I will combine...

Went out for a quick trip this AM knowing it would rain. Rain gear all Tested and ready, Reels respooled. Tackle check complete, Tackle Box(s) clean and neatly organzied. Fishing river below damn for saugeye/sauger. Tied on a 3/8 oz white on white bucktail with blue collar. Sent it on its way...

Stumbled on a bargain if you need these sizes CLOSEOUT! Opportunity knocks! While stock lasts, you can get 1000 quality 90° Matzuo jig hooks for only $9.99. No typo here, just a great deal available on a first come, first served basis. Choose from gold finish, model 117040 in 3/0 or 4/0 size or...

I am looking for a small 1/100 1/80 ounce jig mold. Hilts seem to be the only one available and I've heard good and bad about hilts molds with the majority leaning towards the bad. So are there any other options that anyone is aware of? I would love to be able to cast #12, #10, #8 hooks in the...

I've been toying with the idea (site hosts permission will be needed) of doing a Chenille only swap. I have purchased several skeins of chenille and they have a bunch of material on them (72 - 144 yards) and figure I am not the only one that has done this. So maybe this would be a way to reduce...

A friend has challenged me to find a better boat than we are currently using. He wants to upgrade from a 16' procraft bass fish/ski boat which for 6 years has performed flawlessly and is nick named "Yard Sale Yacht". Other than an occasional wash and vacuuming a few new batteries, a trim pump...

I have both 2" diameter and 3" diameter cups but find I use the 2" more often than not. Usually I use the 3" cups for spoons and some vibrating blades. Seems a waste for 1/64 - 1/16 oz jigs The more I get into mixing "custom colors" the more I think it would be nice to have smaller cups that...

This AM I went to get some primers to reload my rifle shells. Went to all the normal places and everyone is out of stock. So was looking around seeing if anything I needed was in stock. Got 2 boxes of .22 no 12 or 20 gauge shells in stock. A few boxes of slugs. No large pistol primers and...

2 weeks ago, while Fishing Creek was frozen, we were at Fish & Ski market by the bridge and some fishermen came in wanting an ice pick. They came back 10 min later for another ice pick, ten minutes later for another ice pick, ten minutes later for another ice pick and this went on till the store...

Waiting for client to arrive! Really burns my soul when someone says I'll be there at nn time and there arent even close. Sitting here playing with computer to pass time and ran across this also saw the flat round airstones and wonder how they would be for a diffuser for powder coating...

Yes, I am thinking about bobbers today!

Not sure if its a bobber, a planer board or what, got me thinking though, it make be a way to get a tiny jig out in the tree tops just out of casting range when bank fishing.

While reaching around to grab my hunk of chenille, I ran a hook under my fingernail.... expletives deleted!!!!! Anyhow, this got me thinking how nice it would be to have chenille on a bobbin. Started looking for something commercially available but had no luck. Searched archives and found one...
