Been looking all over trying to find a mold for some variety of ice fishing jig and keep drawing blanks. I have found one and not sure I like the mold or the company (cannot find info on them) I have made a number of Jigs like Russ has shown in his tutorial but not overly happy with then...

Ran across this earlier today and thought we could have soe fun with it, just finish the sentence and I'll start The gangsta have their pants pulled up around their waists and are holding them in place with belts!

Still cursing the water pump and nursing severely scraped knuckles and sore fingers. Old pump is out, and am ready to showhorn the new water pump in place then reassemble the car. Am seriously considering looking for an early 60's Impala to restore just so I can work on it without taking the...

Gonna open a whole new can o'worms with this one. Long story short, I me a guy this AM fishing some homemade jigs below a local river dam. They had so much flash I could see them from over 100 yards so I hadda get closer and investigate. After some BS and a hot coffee its cold damp and windy...

Seen a lot of posts lately from newbies looking to get started. I ran across this on Ebay and thought It might be something of interest to someone, Everything you need to get started casting your own jigs (except a pair of pliers)...

Was just looking at Powder and started browsing Roseys and they have a real sale going on some powders as low as 3.25 per pound and a lot of 50 percent off powders as well.

I am thinking about doing a tools and materials swap starting in January. The medium flat rate box is 12.65 to ship and I have accumulated enough goodies to pretty much fill one to start a swap. And I have a few buddies that may be willing to donate some goodies to help out. The last swap was a...

I posted a while back that I was gonna try this. So Last night I made up 4 cups and tonight, trimmed them and put a bit of powder in one. Put it in my air adapter and negligible movement, a few grains of powder around the edges was moving at a snails pace. Hmmmm more air,, opened valve all...

I keep getting this error again is this an issue on my PC or something with the JC server

A buddy just dropped off a couple hundred heads for me to PC when I get the time. He said they are 1/32 ounce minnow heads and dont they look neat. Initially I thought they looked big and felt heavy. I laid 5 on my little grain scale 206 grains which works out to 3/32 ounce jig head. I told...

My tying bench is completely clear. (Have no idea where all that stuff came from.) Getting ready to put a fresh coat of paint on and wonder what would be the best color. Currently is a splotched kelly green, it works reasonably well but I am wondering if something darker or lighter wouuld be...

I am starting this thread because the GST wet look concrete sealer has many positive reviews on other sites and it has been touched upon in various discussions. The product specs can be seen here http://www.gstinternational.com/pages/high-gloss-wet-look-lacquer I bit the bullet so to speak...

I just finished a swap on another site, and am waiting for the final submissions on the current swap on this site. Yes, I have the bug bad! Swaps for me are fun and a great way to kill some time and prevent brain stagnation. More importantly, I learn something new from every swap and when...

I just responded to an earlier post and got thinking/dreaming about fall fishing. Question I have is how many of y'all fish through fall and into winter and how do you deal with the inclement weather. My typical fall/winter wear is polypropelene long johns, Fleece pants and shirt, hoody over...

Buddy and I snuck out to see if Walleye bite had started yet. 44 degrees and calm when we hit the water. Went to our favorite early fall spot and picked up 2 shorts in about 10 minutes. We were marking fish in 28 - 30 FOW so know the fish are starting to move to their winter grounds. A few more...

cleaned up a bunch of odd balls heads left over from various projects.

Something I have never done is name my jigs. But, a buddy called the other day wanting more of a tan head with yellow tail and a brown body. Hmmm I keep one of everything I have tied on a rack and went looking. For the life of me, I could not figure out what he was talking about so I called him...

Finally getting tired of having my tools scattered all over and not having ready access to some of the little odds-n-ends that are so handy to have when tying. So I am gonna make a tying bench and a separate bench for jig making/finishing Searched all over the web for size and have found an...

Nursing a very messed up knee ATM and am bored beyond tears. So decided to look at Jig Swap History (very interesting to read thru and look at all the pics). I compiled some simple statistics that some may find interesting. To Date: -We have had 24 Jig Swaps. -Currently #24 is in process...
