Hi Salenity

Looks like I need to go to Melvern on Thursday. What ramp is everyone using. I normally use the marina ramp

No pics?

Nothing photogenic

Me and Retro got out for a few hours today. Nothing huge but we had a good time.

Looks like me and Retro are going to Lacygne tomorrow. Anyone else going to head out that way?

Check the flee market. I know of at least 2 rods that would fit hhat bill nicely.

The Rage is a good rod in that price range

Sorry, my mistake.

I lost an insert in the tiptop on one but I think they compete with rods way over their price point!

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Bob you've been a lot of help! I have some 2 part fiberglass epoxy resin but I'm pretty sure it's to thick to brush on. My Dad owns a body shop so I have access to the clear and yea it's nasty stuff you don't need to be breathing! Can I use the opaque Createx for a basecoat? I know that Wicked Colors has a reducer but I don't see one for Createx? What do you use for a reducer? What about glitters? What type of a glitter would I use?

They make an oyster color that I like. $.02 I also like. bad To The Bone

I have 85 Katsuage hooks in the mail now ;-)

X2 I wonder what the warranty is like?

I have one sorta. Lol I have a gun smithing vise that has a tiny hole drilled in one jaw. You put the pin on the hole and tighten down the vise and the other jaw pushes the pin into the hole. Sounds weird and cheezy but it worked awesome Let me know if you want to borrow it or if you have a vise I can show you pics so you can make your own

Years ago I had some legally set limb lines set with the big visible tag on them I went to check them the next morning and found someone had put a rubber worm on my hook! I always wondered how big of a fish i had on that line? I did get a 38# flathead a few lines down...

I've never used the PQ but I have a carbonblack The first one I played with in the store was a bad one but the one I got is great! In my opinion at its price range there are a lot of great reels that I'd buy before I bought another carbonblack but then again I've bought and sold some extremely nice reels and still have this one ?

So I have a bunch of questions for you lure painters. What do you use for paint? Createx? What is the difference between createx and Wicked Colors? can you spray one then go over it with the other? What do you use for a basecoat? If I want a white base do I use an opaque color or do I need a solid? Can I use an automotive spray clear for a topcoat?

That's cool! They're rare around here.

I'll save that for the hard water.

The blanks aren't that bad but if they are like the real 110s you will want to find a super light hook to use or it will sink.
