When I painted them it blobbed. Is that even a word :-?
I tried a round ball with a 4/0 basically an eakins style like in my avatar but it didnt work as nice or the angle of the bait to hook didnt appease me. I do have some 3/0 but havent tried those.
took 2nd place. I gave a few of these heads that I made to a good buddy since I havent been able to fish them yet. Low and behold he took 2nd place in a tournement last weekend. After he told me this I was proud of my work and new I was onto something good. I was as happy as a kid in a candy store.
He said that the poison head pulled through the weeds real easily and didnt catch alot of them. Plus that widgap hook and the angle that the bait sets is just perfect.
Just an update too for Harshman if you havent fished yours yet. So down to the caster I go to make more of these things. I also found out an easier way to paint them. Dont dip the whole head just shake it up to the spring and stop. You guys might be doing this already but if not theirs a little tip for you. No more breaking paint from the springs.
I've been reading everything on here and other boards on wacky rigging. To keep my word to another member, I need more info on this techinique. What ever you got. Nothing held back. I'm going to fish this this year and catch fish. Tips, tricks, locations, favorite hooks, line, etc. What ever you got.
You guys ever seen a horney ribbit. I got one. Made it yesterday. Horney toad top and ribbit legs. Yeah gman was board.
I typically use a 4/0-5/0 for those and seems to work fine.
I will try the stir thing thanks. I tried it both ways with vibration and no vibration. About the same. I am also going to put a small turn valve to regulate the pressure on it.
Back to the workbench.
Harshman, I have a question/problem
The powder in the middle is compacting and the outside along the edge is launching into the air. Do you think I might need something to shoot the air just up the middle?
So far I've got about 12 dollars in this
Someone posted up awhile back about switching out the hooks on these things. I cant find that old post but wondering if anyone has done this so the hooks dont hook together. Or has anyone just taken the front hook off?
Yes, I have. Worked ok. I didnt notice much difference in catch %. Actually manns makes a tube that the put little foam inserts in with the tubes just for this. Any more I dont mess with it. I just throw standard lure. If I want something that floats I will just throw a floating lure like 3x.
IMHO, I would start with high catch % baits. even if you catch small fish off it. It will build your confidence faster then just throwing a big lure and maybe getting a few bites. This will also make your technique better.
4-6" lizard
centipedes
something along those lines would probably be the best choice.
Thats what I was going to ask
Both at the same time. If I'm going to have a story its going to be a great one.
Who's is/was a better singer Michael Jackson or Prince
thanks alot guys, I just dropped 20 bucks on a real good pair of split ring pliers. then the monkey got me for a total of 100 bucks for other stuff.
Atleast it will save my finger nails, hook to fingers, and aggravation.
I pitch them all, but my favorites I would have to go with a jig or tube. Pitching cranks or jerkbaits you got to pay attention or you could find yourself in a sticky situation.
