Very cool look from an unexpected material. Really gives the look of fish scales.

Welcome back Fatman! I know the feeling with not tying much. I think i need to go backwards in my skills a few years so my jigs fall apart sooner and then i can tie new ones. I have sooooo many heads painted up i just grab some random ones whenever i want to fill in on something. Hopefully...

Grass is always greener? I often want to jump 2 towns over just so i can get my kids away from the trouble makers and click groups at school. My 16 year old daughter is going through crap at school right now and there is very little recourse i can take. Sh!t is gonna hit the fan real soon...

I'm trying to wrap my head around how exactly a pole like this even works. When you catch a fish, how do you get it to your hand? How much does a 43' rod weigh? I'd be wore out holding that baby over the water i would think.

These are the actual spoons with holes on each end. Think they came from Hagen's. I put a little more pronounced bend in them and then add solder to the back side to add a little weight. They work OK with out the extra added weight in shallow water. Used to punch an extra hole on a willow...

Welcome to the site from NW-OH.

UG - I saw how low it was supposed to go up there. No thanks! I'm assuming our kids might be done with school for the week. Are your schools up there still open on days like that? My goofball kids won't wear a coat to school, they claim their lockers are not big enough. My daughter (16...

Yes indeed, the cold weather is here. Only 13° now and spose to drop through the day. Wind chill could drop down as low as -40°. Don't think i've ever seen that before. I don't mind using my hand auger, it is a 6" Nils and cuts the ice very easy. But if it builds over 10" or 12" i might...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I do have some both ways, trebles and singles. Also have a bunch with single dropper hooks. The singles seem to work good with bluegill, but i have lost a lot of crappie with those. I think the trebles keep crappie hooked up a little better. I do hate how...

Not necessarily 'jigs' but i fish them pretty much the same vertical style through the ice or below my kayak in summer.  Can also use them pegged under a float just as easily.  These are all small lightweight spoons that i added solder to the back of to add some extra weight and then i powder...

The badger hair does look good. That color combo would work on the crappie here.

You didn't happen to cut it with some clear? I do that with some of the thicker powders i have purchased.

We have had some odd ball weather this winter..... Going from 50's to mid 30's has not let any ice form except for quick melting skims.  Sunday was a beautiful day with low 40 temps, no wind and lots of sunshine.  Decided to get out to my small hometown reservoir and give it a shot.  Tried using...

Sounds like an excellent gift for yourself and the end result looks amazing! I've made catfish jerky by accident before, letting my smoker outside get a little too hot. It was actually quite tasty.

I know they sure work wonders vertical through the ice. That is a great price compared to what Rapala gouges me for them. Interested to see what you come up with.

I've never really found a good one for getting down and dirty in the rocks. I have settled on using mainly hooks that are unbalanced with a 60° leg to the hook eye whenever i plan on casting swimming jigs and trying to keep them as close to the bottom as possible. They seem to tick off of the...

Merry Christmas indeed! Had a great long weekend with the family. Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday. Stay safe for New Years everyone.

That setup should work nicely for any paint drips. Those look as good as any i've seen for sale, very precise circles on the wonderbread. Check out the VMC FlyJigs and tie up a few copycats using those heads..... the FlyJig style saved the day on a few ice trips last winter. Where are you...

The Keitech's are scented, some packages seem to smell stronger than others but that is probably par for the course. I'm guessing ingredients get fudged from time to time. I've never used the Easy Shiner series of them. I do have a couple of the Swing Impact, they have a pretty skinny body...

Usually i just have to put in the time and i will eventually stumble on top of a few.  After so many casts....... i swim a bait past a hungry walleye.  This year i am just not even seeing them cruising by the normal spots i would catch them.  Not sure if my timing is off or if there is something...
