6" to 3' depending on the conditions but like others said it is trial and error. If I just need a starting length then 12 - 18" is what I use. Allen

http://www.glcfishing.com/ Here is where most places get their skirts or skirt material from. The last time I checked they had 100's of colors so if they don't have it? Allen

That quit making the flat living rubber material years ago. That stuff they call flat rubber that comes in tabs is the worst stuff I have ever used for jigs. Allen

Mudhole will have blanks that are like $10 each but you have to buy like 3 of them at a time. Allen

This is one of the best videos out there to actually learn something. The other ones I would recommend are the KVD spinnerbait ones as they are great. Most of the videos you just watch someone fishing for two hours. Allen

Gamber fire hall one on I think the 28th of February? Allen

Zip ties is a quick fix, tieing down with thread or wire is harder but they last. That green floro wire works but it will rust so try finding some copper wire. Allen

They have the Yamamoto ones for like $6 http://www.overstockbait.com/gary-yamamoto-senko-7/ Allen

After you heat up the jig twist the pin around before pulling it out. I find this is the best way to get the paint around the head without it sticking to the pin. Allen

Blue painters tape but whatever you are doing epoxy pooling in that area is not a good thing. Allen

I sold my PT 175 and bought a X-18 Xpress just to have more storage space. Tracker was a great boat but I HATE to re-tie so I needed something that had more than 1 rod locker. Some days I miss the Tracker because in drafted shallower than the Xpress. Allen

Depends on the size of forage and other conditions at that moment. The 3.5" Dippers and swim flukes are nice when I need smaller profile. Bigger dippers and flukes for large profile or off colored water. Now in general I think one is too small and the other too big so I have started using other baits. Damiki anchovy shad and this PLine minnow both of which are 4" were last years go-to. Allen

Straight black bear hair on a 1/8 to 1/4oz head. Allen

Some of you guys have way too much stuff! As you can see I have a minimum number of extra hardbaits just to get by. Allen

That is a Bass Pro rattler spinnerbait made like 25 years ago. Allen

If you are fishing really clear water I would say yes? Drop shot is just another way to present a bait so don't get to hung up on it. Sometimes the fish are in a neutral or negative mood and the DS works well for this but do not worry. Basic premise of drop shotting is the bait is suspended above the weight? Try out the DS and see if it works for you? You really do not need any special tackle just use what you currently have. Allen

Please post as I would be interested as well. Allen

Swim jig is just a bladeless spinnerbait. Allen

Read the Rich Z. article until you have it memorized. Allen

Paint first then attach hardware. Allen

I have to agree, try fishingskirts.com as they have them. Allen

Take out every lure you have not caught at least 10 fish on. You will be left with whatever you have confidence in that works for you. Allen

You did buy a Pointer Sp and not S right? Some LC pointers are sinking (thought I had a bad one myself). Allen

After stopping by Green Tops last summer I cannot think what else you would need? Allen
