  1. Welcome!
  2. Auto part stores (Pep Boys,Advance) Auto Paint suppliers.
  3. This is what I use for stripping old finishes.Tape off the bill if there is one,scuff your lure with a Scotchbrite pad.Spray the lure and let sit for a few minutes.Hint,for tougher finishes put the lure after spraying in a sandwich bag and seal it .The bag will stop the air from drying out the stripper and it will work longer. Use an old toothbrush and remove the gunk(wear gloves and eye protection) repeat if necesarry.
  4. Football head jig weedless or not.
  5. Any of the heavy wire 60 degree hooks work,yes the 5304 works with no mods.I wouldnt of bought it if it was Trokar only. I have poured this jig with 4 different styles and no problems.The Mustad is good old 32786.
  6. Thanks
  7. Bang! I love all their scents but craw/shad combo spray has been killer for me for twenty years.I have turned many a non believer into cant leave home without it users.Try it and see,
  8. Here at Smith Mountain Lake I dont remember a time(when I caught fish)that there wasnt crawfish hulls in my livewell.Even when I knew they were patterning shad.
  9. Skip an old heavy jig 1/2 oz or so and hit the pavement literally. Set up chair in the driveway and practice skipping it under the chair. Loosen your brake up a bit and spool your reel with 12lb mono (cheap stuff) . I do like a shorter rod 6'6" and med action for practice anyways.
  10. Thank you cadman and bowhunter63
  11. Thanks Buddy
  12. Thanks man,watch as much stuff on the net as you can. Start up is a little expensive,Air Brush,compressor,several colors of paint and clears.Masking supplies ( tape,netting for scale patterns,adhesive eyes).That being said to me it doesnt get any more gratifying for you or your friends to catch them on your own design.
  13. In that shallow of water with fairly light line 12-15 I think you have to go with 1/4 oz. If the water is as murky as you say I would use one with rattles also. Put a bulky trailer so it pushes water and has a slow fall. My biggest bass came on a light weight jig(Black red flake) in ten feet of water with less than a foot of visability.
  14. Thanks guys.
  15. Thankyou,I love them too.
  16. Painted a couple of a Shad Raps yesterday,this is my attempt at a Long Ear sunfish.
  17. Oxblood,Cinnamon,Smoke and Plum are my favorite for clear water.
  18. Best selection
  19. You bet.
  20. hope you can make it out.
  21. yes
  22. It takes any of the heavy 60 degree hooks,I got it in Dec and love it.One is with the Mustad the red hook is Diachii.
  23. Strike King Pork-O, Was the best weedless bait for working through the pads.Kalins Western Weenie Worms,the original salty finesse worm. Slider worms,still can hammer them some days on these.
  24. I grew up fishing Cahoon and the surrounding Suffolk lakes.Im not an expert but I have caught them on Black and Blue jigs there.Junebug colored jigs work great there as well.I havent fished there in awhile but I remember using light jigs 1/4 ounce 5/16.Keep on jiggin brother.PM me for more info if you like.
  25. Thank you,3.5 blade and 5/16th jig.
