PourMyOwn

Thanks for the master's degree level of information. I always look forward to your posts.

Pretty rarely with the exception of two or three guys who actually know what I'm talking about-and a few students (I'm a HS teacher) at school. It is really cool having conversations with random kids who don't even take my class.

I sorted all of mine by color and melted them into things I will use. Of course now I have 10 pounds of ribbon tail worms, but I try to ignore such minor details.

Anyone that dumb would never be bothered to read a warning label.

Same here, I make sourdough three times a week and bagels every two weeks.

I use one quite a bit for reels and carburetors. I use hot water. It's a lot more efficient to put boiling water in there than to wait for the heating element in the ultrasonic to heat the water...and mine is also an Amazon special.

My truck is an 07 Tundra single cab with an 8' bed. I carry rods in the bed, the rod lockers in my boat just can't hold a 7'6" rod. I daily drive a Jetta that gets 42 mpg, my commute is 45 minutes, so it saves me a ton of money.

Sure. I feel dirty pulling for Michigan.

Your post sounds like a Paul Finebaum call. Georgia has a great team, no doubt, but they didn't exactly look great against Kentucky or Missouri.

I have a conservation net for when I am using treble hooks. I've been hooked too many times over the years to reach for a bass that has 6 owner hook points thrashing around.

Congratulations to the Wolverines.

Not me, I watch it all.

The only thing 12poundbass and I will agree on today is that the Iron bowl is nowhere near as important as The Game.

I got into tying jigs rather than using rubber collars. I threw a lot of brown living rubber jigs and (especially in cold water) they outfished the silicone skirted jigs my partners used.

Just went through this last February with my 13 year old Springer, Hazel. She fell apart in less than two weeks time. CBD treats were a big help for her.

This is my girl Missy. She's my 4th Springer since 1985, a heck of a hunter, and a doll inside the house.

I doubt I'll ever save money making soft plastics. I love making them, and I only pour baits that are expensive to buy, or that I can't find (really soft tubes are hard to get)

I want one of those Zillions so bad. Please tell me how horrible they are.

I still smile whenever I chuck a 5/8 oz jig with a 20 year old TD Zillion. I can only imagine what the new one is like.

I used to watch, then my life got busy and I never went back.

I'm a HS teacher and my students know I make baits. My school is small (less than 300) and fairly rural. There's about 10 hard-core anglers who talk fishing with me all the time. It's pretty great.

My 07 Tundra has crank windows, manual locks and a vinyl floor. I had an 86 Toyota pickup with more options!

Points ignition. I've bought a lot of tractors off of young guys. Their father (or father in law) give them a 1970s machine, then in year two it doesn't magically work and they want it gone. I file points and drive it on the trailer.

Torpedos are amazing- if you look around the Denny Brauer signature Torpedo is the one (or 40) to have. Put good hooks on it, and make sure the hardware is secure. I lost a 6 pounder due to the front hook holder pulling out. I glue them in now. The originals are worth owning too, smallmouth love them.

Yep. Fly that thing all year, your boys won.
