PourMyOwn

Just a few drops of Dead On's "grit" color added to white should do it.

I don't use any baitcasters that aren't OG... Too many TDX, TDS Diawas, OG Zillions, US Trails, Crazy Crankers, and several TDZs. Oh, and a couple Pixies and OG Fuegos. Sure I'm forgetting a few, I went on a shopping spree a couple years back that still hasn't ended. I also have a Citica 200E and a Curado Bantam Greenie that I never use.

Does anyone under 40 throw tubes? (I'm 47) and I never stopped.

Lol, he is an upstate NY guy so I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Interesting thread as I'm buying 1/4 cow next week. I have the Kitchen Aid attachment too, and a standalone grinder, since I buy chuck rolls and break them down at home. Luckily my fiance's dad is a retired butcher so I don't hack stuff up.

Bomber 6A, the original ones. I have a pile that I'm repainting and upgrading the hardware on, there's just something about them that works when the 3XD doesn't.

Flappin Hog is one of my favorites, especially on a screw lock football jig.

Thanks. I want to throw finesse jigs using my old Pixy, but I'd rather have a slower tip. Appreciate the feedback.

Found this in a search. How do you like it? I'm looking for a ML casting rod ND the Cashion and Phenix are two I'm interested in. Thanks!

I lost access to the pond down the road because a guy had a campfire on a boat ramp and left trash everywhere. The landowner (who was well within his rights) put up a gate. As for discarded line, I melt it into a cube using my heat gun then throw it away.

Man I begged my dad to get me some of these when I was a kid. Those commercials were very tempting!

Just scored one from Dicks for 70 dollars. Great to hear.

I got a pile of them in a bulk crank purchase, good to know they are worth throwing. I've never tied one on. I throw Bandits all the time, mostly 100 and 200s. NH smallmouth go crazy for the white ones especially. It's a bait up here that guys have heard of but nobody throws.

I toss a couple of backup reels in my backpack, one usually has 12lb, the other 17. I have more reels than I'll ever need, so what good are they doing me at home? Between me and my fishing partner, there's always a chance someone will get a bad backlash.

It's a money pit but I love it. If you need any advice ask away. I'm far from the only guy on here who pours baits, but I can help you avoid some common newbie pitfalls.
