Not in my opinion? Like someone mentioned I like those brass eyed bank sinkers in 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4. So far I have not found any reason for heavier sinkers. Drop Shot is a dink and panfish magnet but will also catch bigger fish.

I have tried several different fishing pliers and have not like them especially the high prices. My favorite are these $4 needle nose ones I buy at the PX. They have blaze orange handles so they are very hard to lose! Now they will develop surface rust in like 5 seconds but they work really well.

I like the smaller 4" for fishing clear water and if I could only use one size this would be it. If something is working for you stick with it! If I find a bait that really works I buy one size smaller and one or 2 sizes larger.
Color only matters when it matters.

I have given up on using any of it! All I seem to do with it is glue fingers to baits, baits to rods, cap comes off bottle falls on side and glue goes everywhere! I will just buy more baits as this stuff isn't worth the frustration it causes.

I pour some for personal use but they are such a PITA to pour the fins I would not want to pour them. Try registering over on tackleunderground.com and see if anyone is interested? If there is someone out there that makes them that would be the place to find them.

The secret to catching them around here is not to fish for them? Try fishing for bass and you will hook into a couple. They will hit just about anything but seem to like jerkbaits better than other lures. The biggest one I caught (45")was on a oatmeal ball fishing for carp.

Color only matters when it matters!
I have learned to limit myself to 5 or 6 colors for each type of soft plastic. Cranks I use 3 basic colors; baitfish, crayfish and chartreuse and worry more about action or diving depth. By limiting your selectiion you spend more time fishing and less switching colors.
Remember those 68 different colors the companies offer for each bait are meant to catch fisherman not fish!

Owner has a wider gap than Gama, Mustad, Daiichi, Eagle dull or VMC. They are nice hooks but the shank isn't long enough for my hidden weight heads.

Will someone be doing a video on how to train a wife? Mine doesn't listen, retrieve the things I say, stay off my chair and so on? Right now I am leaning torward one of those electric shock collars.

Most of the stuff I have seen about making tubes is that you dip some sort of solid rod into the plastic?
BTW I have a bunch of packs of hookedup bait tubes I could sell you $2.50 a pack? I bought a ton of stuff at once and I just do not use tubes or the 120 jars of trout power bait (bought by accident).

I check the weedguard to make sure it is correct. Meaning is the angle going to interfere with hookups? On some cheaper jigs the weedguard stand up at a angle that makes it hard to bend over without a lot of force. I push the the weedguard a couple of times to make sure it bends down and nothing would obstruct a hookset. For those of you who cut the weedguard shorter you are actually stiffening it? If you want a light guard cut some of the strands frm THE BOTTOM of the weedguard. Larger fish have no problem with even the stiffest weedguard on a flipping jig.

You could just put a snap link between the swivel split ring and the blade? I make my own spinnerbaits and quit changing blades and skirt a long time ago.
