    Z-man Elaztech

    Fellow here uses a pearl-ish clear, dark fleck curly tail with good success. We always had the best success with just a jig and a night crawler. That’s #1 than the curly grubs. I haven’t been fishing for so dang long don’t know if I remember how.

    Z-man Elaztech

    Very tasty, just like perch, lighter flavor than bass. The slot sizes are the best to me. The bigger one like 23-25 aren’t as good, not bad just not as good.

    lighter jigs/smaller lures can make a difference in cold water

    I’ll add to your findings that some species seem to have a gang mentality while others are more like loners and like humans that seems to change with age. Kinda like teenagers and old men. Teens, “we’re gonna take on the world”. Old men, “get off my lawn”. One fall my wife and I once ran across...

    lighter jigs/smaller lures can make a difference in cold water

    Pretty little, with the distortion of the water they looked about the size of your palm. I don’t think they could have gotten hooked very easily and that’s why I chose the size I did and that’s all I had with me at the time. I didn’t really want to catch any, just checking the response.

    lighter jigs/smaller lures can make a difference in cold water

    Great write up. We have a fellow here that has a pond that has bass, crappy and a few sunfish. He lets kids and retired people fish there and that’s where I test lures because of the dock and clear water. What’s funny is he would feed the crappy by hand so anytime you walked to the edge of the...

    Wow those are some mighty fine fish and nice sized smallies. They should have put up a good fight.

    Victory Jig Hooks

    I ran across that with some of those original Matzu’s. Some would bend like butter and others would snap like glass. I don’t know how those companies temper hooks but it appears that with some it’s not an even process.

    Tin

    Tin will actually fill cavities better. It’s usually added to lead to improve pour ability and it has a slight hardening effect. Pretty spendy to fill a #20 pot with tin. Linotype has high tin as well as lead and antimony. Is lighter than straight lead but much harder. If you drop your jugs out...

    Changes?

    Glad to see many of the same tribe still here. I don’t get here as much as I’d like to either. My boats getting cobwebs on it from sitting so long. Just seems like something is always getting in the way.

    Powder paint coverage issue

    Kinda the same thing JJ1 said. I also had some white that was a pain. It seemed thicker and wouldn’t flow like the other colors of the same brand. I also use a heat gun with no problems, only takes about 3-5 seconds to heat up enough. If you preheat too hot it’ll melt and apply too much on the...

    having issues getting certain powder paints to move

    When you cut out your filters from a bag, hold it up to a bright light and you should be able to see the more and less porous areas. Some spots almost look like the bags are doubled over.

    Mustad Skipjack’s, updated 6/30

    Got to take a quick peek at the Mustads that I ordered. They look pretty good and appeared to be a bit heavier. This AM I grabbed a mic and compared with a EC that was close by and it appears that the mustads are about .004 heavier. I’ll have to check closer maybe tonight to make sure I was...

The blue looking spin in the upper left is suppose to be blue and purple but didn't show up that way. 1/8 to 1/32...

    Free Feathers (almost)

    This almost made me cry. First off the pheasant population around here is sparse compared to what it was in the 60's & 70's but they'r coming back a little with some help. I was going to town and at the top of the hill I see something in the road in the other lane. Yep, someone had hit a nice...
