FYI: Next time you get bit by fire ants, WD40 will take the sting away. Sounds crazy, but just give it a shot it works..

A lizard replicates a salamander not an actual lizard which is aquatic, and will destroy bass eggs. These have always been a productive bed bait for me. ETA: I saw you mentioned a salamander, but I just wanted to add that a lizard replicates a salamander and not a lizard.

My brother and I watched a guy pull a 12' Jon boat with an electric motor up to the dock, and I about crapped my pants when I saw him come around the corner on a motorcycle with a boat trailer attached the the back. Believe it or not it pulled it out, he was on a big Yamaha roadstar I think they're called..

Braid all the way...

Remove the skirt from a chatterbait and toss a money minnow on there...

There was a whole bunch of XR50s at Dicks today for 3.99, in a bunch of colors..

Much much nicer, and I'm sure you like it better also...

Looks decent, I'd have to reccomend a BCM KMR. The only problem is they're right around $250, but well worth it IMHO. They're super light and I love the keymod design, it makes swapping accessories a breeze. If it were me and I was installing a full float rail I'd use a lopro block, but depending on what rail and it's length you might not have to. Check out AR15.com, go to their equipment exchange, theres always a ton of stuff for sale there. If you go to the AR 15 section there a ton of info and a bunch of knowledgable guys there.

This 80%er was real easy because I was able to use a buddies million dollar cnc mill, but I've done a few others with a jig and a drill press. I'd say it's a fairly easy process if you just take your time and only try and cut a little at a time. As far as the polymer lowers I would suggest you don't go that route, they ALL have issues with them breaking in half right where the buffer tube attaches to the lower. There's not a whole lot of material there so IMO there's no real fix for that problem. The gun in the pic is just over 6lbs as it sits in the pic with an empty mag, kinda feels almost toy like in weight. Oh and no we're not allowed full auto, MD is not the most friendly gun state.

My latest build, it started life as a paper weight or an 80%er that I milled at a buddies shop. The rest is as follows: All assembly was done by Basement Tactical, well by me in my basement. DD lower parts kit Geissele SSA trigger LaRue buffer tube Kit Magpul ACS-L stock BCM M4 Upper receiver BCM Gunfighter mod 4 charging handle BCM BCG BCM KMR 13" hand guard BCM 14.5 ELW fluted barrel (pinned FH makes it 16.1") BCM LoPro gas block Smith Vortex pinned flash hider Magpul MBUS sights Primary Arms micro red dot sight (only until I can afford my Aimpoint Micro)

Thanks for the replies, with the info given here and the few numbers that are stamped on the bottom. It is a MirrOlure, but it is vintage and one of the first that they made (this exact model is no longer made).The glass eyes is a give away, at least that's what I've read. Like I said Ive had it for somewhere between 25 to 30 years myself not counting the time it sat at the bottom of that pond.

This is a lure that I snagged in a community pond about 25 years ago, I've carried it around in different tackle boxes since then, but I've never tried to fish with it. It must be a saltwater lure because of the stainless hooks, at least I'm guessing they're stainless as these are the originals from the day I found it. I beleive that it was clear originally and the color is from its age, like I said I got 25 years ago and who know how long it was at the bottom of that pond. All of the belly hooks are held on with clips and screws, no spilt rings.

Looks decent, but I'm going to say the same thing that WW2farmer said. If it was mine I'd ditch the whole hand guard and get a free float tube, cause that sight will melt to the gas block if you run that thing like I would. If this is something that H&S tactical did, I'd be a little suspect about all their work. A polymer sight on a gas block should be a no no in any gunsmiths book. Also just FYI them NIB BCGs aren't what some guys make them out to be. I run either BCM, Colt or Noveske BCGs only. If you clean your gun after every session you shouldnt realy have a problem. Good luck with it, have you had it to the range yet???

Here is my first try at painting lures, I have a few of these that are doubles and since I don't use them very much, I figured I change the flavor a little. I think they turned out pretty good for a rattle can job. The real question is would you be willing to fish them???

I've seen one and two pounders hit bigger lures then that.

I have a couple Mojo rods, a pitching rod and a spinnerbait rod. Both have been great rods, maybe a bit stiff as mentioned above. But for what I we them for they do great...

Mattslures flat tail blue gill

Yup gold fish will stunt his growth, and could give him parasites that will kill him. If it were me I'd go to the local bait shop and get him some minnows..

Hollow body frog since your in FL and the bass should be nice and aggressive by now.
