  1. I stopped watching MLF when they stopped allowing you to watch it streaming thru their website
  2. I can tell you from experience, most anything in the store is 1 point per $1, but Bass pro shops branded things are double points.
  3. As a guess, I'd say it's a Bass Pro Shops Xps Floating Minnonw, but the older version.
  4. I'll go nuts as usual. With my Tracker card, I'll get 10% anything I buy and 20% anything Bass Pro branded as well as the sale price. Can't beat it
  5. I trim the legs of my frogs. It gives the legs more action, easier to walk, and just looks better
  6. Hey Sam, if you still have a copy of the VDGIF Crawfish Information, I'd love a copy as well. Thanks 1
  7. I just picked up another Abu Garcia Veritas from Bass Pro yesterday for $60.
  8. Gimmick to me, not sure this is any different then the old Johnson Silver Minnow
  9. Thank You
  10. I'd try a few things: 1) Downsize my Jig 2) Downsize my Trailer 3) Change my bait color
  11. Check out Bassjons in Suffolk
  12. My fear would be letting the customer use your equipment, and him/her flipping the kayak and losing everything overboard
  13. I make these and I use them for any lure retrieval needs. Works fantastic and only cost me about $.25 each. I use one like the picture just a much bigger weight
  14. For me the deciding factor is what kinda fish I'm looking for. If I'm looking for numbers I got with the Texas Rig, If I want quality, I go the jig
  15. I do best with Jigs by far, but also do pretty well with Shad Raps this time of year
  16. I'll be fishing Tues - Fri this week as the temps are supposed be be from 65 - 77 everyday (Virginia)
  17. I say just enjoy the rare treat of being able to fish all winter without ice fishing
  18. For skipping I like a Arkie head, for Flipping I mostly use a Brush Jig (Shown Below). I can skip 50x's better with a Arkie vs other heads, likewise Flipping I only like a Brush headas it's more weedless then other heads
  19. Never heard of it, but if the checkout is thru Paypal your protected if anything goes wrong. I just checked the site out, kinda weird. I've never seen a Tackle Shop or website that didn't offer at least 1 jig for sale
  20. If a retailer I used a lot had a "Prime" deal, I'd probally be a buyer as long as the price was reasonable and it included extra's alond with free shipping as Amazon Prime does. Off the top of my head, the retailer I'd use it for would be Academy, Bass Pro Shops, possible Cabelas, TW, Fishing Skirts, etc
  21. Be sure it's what you want to do. When I started I probably sent $800+ initially. Lee Production Pot, Molds, Powder Paint, Weedguards, Weedguard Pins, Skirt Tabs, Lead, Wire, Rattles, Bands, etc. It'd probably be cheaper to buy the unpainted jigheads from someone, then paint them yourself, and add a skirt of your choosing, or even painted heads. I've been making heads and such for quite a while and it's a learning process when you start. It's not as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of practice to consistently pour a perfect head, without getting incomplete pours. Buying unpainted jigheads, you can get them as low as $.50 each in bulk, or painted heads around $.80 each in bulk, and it'd be a better way to start. Once you master that, then start thinking about pouring your own.
  22. Personally I use 1/4 oz Swim jig more then any other size, probally 90% of the time, with the remaining 10% being a 3/8 oz. As for color, the color I do best with is a Purple/Green/Blue swimjig I make. Oddly enough I catch many more bass on Bluegill colored swimjig, more then Shad
  23. I'd do $1 each, that way you pocket $.55 per head
  24. I use a heat gun exclusively or bake the jigs in the toaster oven, just depends how many I have to do. Pro Tec is good paint, but I prefer Columbia Coatings
  25. I make about the same thing, only difference is mine have the lead shank with barb, and I sell them for $.75 each if that helps. Also if they want a cheaper hook, I'll drop to $.50 each, hope that helps
