I just finished a special order of jig heads using Gamakatsu hooks. Other than needing to modify a mold to mak them work, they seem like good hooks but are they really that good? I paid including shipping $42 per hundred yes hundred. Anyhow, I remember when I bought them seeing all the new...

I have tried several brushes and never been very happy with the results. A while back the wife had tossed a couple make up brushes in the trash and I repurposed them to try for powder coating. What a difference they made. So today I ordered a couple from ebay that may make me enjoy tapping and...

Occasionally, I get the urge to try a new knot and frequently use this site http://www.netknots.com/fishing_knots/ to make sure I do it right. I have used the uni knot forever and can tie it blindfolded and use the pitzen knot a lot but just cannot get it right at night (the eyes just aint what...

For some reason I offered to help with the Jig Swap board and my offer was accepted so I am now an additional moderator of the Jig Swap board. Personally I get excited about jig swaps and cannot wait for the next one. I get a lot of great ideas from each batch of jigs. Keeping that in mind, I...

I have a couple molds where a clean break off is not even close to possible. So to avoid the extra work, I ground down an old pair if sidecutters to make them flush cut and they work but not exactly the way I want. So, I am looking for a good set of true flush cutting pliers for sprue removal...
