First,
AWESOME site! The creators/Founders/Admins have done an incredible job. I first saw the site late last year but lost my link and for some reason never got back to it. I had some time and was looking for some info this AM and found the site again. (joined and bookmarked so I will not miss it again)
I am mostly a walleye fisherman in SW Ohio and SE Indiana. Will target Crappie if the time is right but am addicted to them elusive, tooth critters.
Usually my jigs are plain, powder coated and painted or stick on (read glue on) eyes and have started experimenting with color combos.
Most of my molds have been modified to accept larger hooks because my experience is a Jig tipped with a nightcrawler or a grub is a reliable walleye bait. Modifying the molds was quite a learning experience and fortunately only one goof. Thank the inventors of lab metal although the salvage was a bit time consuming. (Hint when buying a new mold make some reference samples and store them in an area where they will not get lost or used - saves a whole lot of time if you go overboard. A little lab metal some plastic wrap and a master jig and viola, back to new).
Hope to learn from those with creativity which I lack and new ideas including those that did not work. Big fan of preventive measures.
