  1. Just speaking about the money part. If you get a working model going you can always try kickstarter.com to raise some cash. I know I would give a little money to see if it worked. Good Luck Capt.O
  2. Hey I've been hearing nothing but great things about them and for the price how could I miss. I'll post some pictures of the first bass I catch with them. Capt.O
  3. Just place my first order ever. Can't Wait!
  4. The rule is when throwing jigs there are no rules. That being said here are some guide lines for "Pitching Jigs" let depth be your guide here. 1'-12' throw a 3/8 oz jig 12'-15' throw a 1/2 oz jig 15'-20' throw a 3/4 oz jig 20'+ - 1 oz jig Unless your fishing thick grass or trying to cover water quickly this applies. If you are fishing grass or trying to cover water faster then just bump every size up one depth. Since we are talking pitching jigs stick with dark colors. Black/Blue, Brown, Green Pumpkin should cover all your fishing needs just fine. Not saying that you shouldn't try a white jig or something with more color to it. These are just the colors I pitch almost 90% of the time. If you want something a little brighter you can dye your trailer with a little chartreuse JJ's Magic. Thick because you could always thin it out. If you are looking for numbers then thinner might be better but I find thick skirt will get you decent numbers and bigger fish. Since we are pitching jigs I would say have a shorter trailer because most of the time a shorter trailer goes through cover better. As for the skirt I usually trim mine a little but still keep it behind the hook. Again if your fishing for bigger fish you better off with a longer skirt but that will to a point cut down on the number of fish. Most of the time I want the end of my trailer at least level with my jigs longest strands preferably a little longer. In any type of cover. Only in extremely thick grass will I tie something else on. Then again you could always throw a A-Jay rig but that's getting a little to advance right now. I already answered this question when I was talking about weight size. I only use rattles in very dirty water,sometimes at night, if the water level has risen due to rain or flooding. The other 90% of the time no rattle. Sometimes its a thump, sometimes its a tap tap, and sometimes you don't feel a thing welcome to bass fishing Yep most of the time but again you never know. Like are said there are no rules for jig fishing. The best way to answer you questions is just to fish them and develop you own opinions about them. Follow these guide lines but they are just guides when you start tweaking them to fit your needs is when you will really start nailing them. Good Luck Capt.O
  5. Grande Bass sells a bait just like it I almost pick some up at academy yesterday. Its called a Grande bass Rattlesnake. Also if Bass pro doesn't have that rage tail just came out with the Rage Tail ReCon Worm. If you pinch off the tail you will have a bait like the Hags tornado . Good Luck Capt.O
  6. Prays sent man that is just sick. Hope your family gets better. Capt.O
  7. None taken man. Hope I didn't sound like I was acting as a moderator. Just a comment like that could be taken the wrong way especially with a subject like this. Tight Lines Capt.O
  8. Sorry but that seems to cross the religious boundaries there man. I'm ok with a little joke but on a subject like this that feels like its aiming a little to low. Capt.O
  9. I usually make it a point not to post about things that I have never tried. But after reading your post I think I found just what you are looking for. This is a rig Matt Alan uses for night fishing in 30+ feet of water. It consists of a wacky rig hags tornado bait (8" or 12" bait) on a 3/4 oz dirty jigs pivot football head. Like I said I've never fished this bait but Matt Alan is a lunker catching machine so I tend to listen when he starts talking about fishing. Here is a link to the video where he talks about how to fish it. Good Luck Capt.O
  10. Some how the Cowboys keep filling up Jerry's world every Sunday. That is when they get enough seats installed in time
  11. Funny but this is still my favorite for ehhhh multiple reasons:)
  12. hmmm I'd rather just have women with one type of hair color mad at me rather than the whole lot of them So two red heads in a blonde where driving in a open bed truck. The red heads where in the cab and the blonde was is the bed. So while they where driving they came to a bridge which went over the river. While riding over the bridge they hit a wet spot and drove off the bridge. The red heads survived but the blonde died because she couldn't get the tailgate open. Capt.O
  13. Just one little note. A lot of the athletes competing in for the U.S.A are not pros. Many of them can't make a living doing what they do. After their Olympic career is over most of them must find a job and be like the rest of us. I'm not saying that they don't have an advantage because of the training that the government offers them. But other than the those athletes that compete in either Basketball,Hockey, or Soccer there a very few olympic athletes like Phelps who will be able to live off of their talent. For example apparently the U.S. has a very good woman's beach volleyball team.(And please don't quote this and add something stupid). Yet I only knew about them because the one is married to the use-to-be backup catcher of the Texas Rangers. In the end most of the athletes are in a sense "armatures" but with all the media love they get it just doesn't feel like it. Just my $.02 Capt.O
  14. OK am I the only one that thought the opening ceremony was "saved" by the athletes coming in? I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but what happen last night was just a mess. Capt.O
  15. Did Someone Say SPAM!!!
  16. Many people who dislike Tebow as an athlete forget that sports have two sides to them, physical and mental. Is Tebow a very good athlete? Yes Is Tebow a very good QB? Nope Is Tebow a very good leader? Yes Tebows ability to motivate his team and lead them more than makes up for is short comings as a QB. Anybody can learn how to throw a football better but you can't teach leadership. Capt.O
  17. I've been a member here for a few years and I agree that the mods are some of the best. There was a time when I first joined I thought RW was out to get me but I'm sure that most of that was due to my immature teenage personality. And BTW its quickly reaching the point where the Rag Tail groupies are beginning to make the Shimano guys look like the worse fans in the world lol. Capt.O
  18. Looks like a place I fish often. Here is a bait that is killer H2O Xpress™ SCSFW Wake Bait - Chartreuse Shad Throw it out a reel it in. When there top water bite is on these are deadly
  19. Monte if the jig and craw was a woman I'd be on one knee proposing right now AMAZING!!!
  20. Most of the aluminum injectors you simple suck the plastic into like a doctor does when he gives you a shot. You will want your injectors to be warm but not to hot to handle. Capt.O
  21. I think if I was in your position I would have saved my pride and walked lol Drive safe
  22. Alright here is a list of what I found is good value. Soft Plastics: Zoom baits they are affordable and are proven fish catchers. Hard baits; Academy's H20 series are very affordable and again they catch fish. Jigs: Booyah baits You can't go wrong with any baits made by these companies and they are all affordable. Good Luck Capt.O
  23. Anything less then the death penalty and they'd be getting off easy. I Think they got off easy. If there was ever a school that deserved the death penalty it was Penn State.
  24. Resin molds last longer than POP. What I do is I make a POP master mold which I only use to make a baits for my resin mold. A well made resin mold should get you all the baits you want for personal use. Capt.O
  25. HAHA I know exactly which signs your talking about. Not to mention that Denton has two major hospitals with in like 5 miles of each other.
