Both work but when making jigs silicone is easier. Allen

Daiichi death traps in size 4 or 6 depending on the bait. Allen

I used the one that looks like a bullet to make my flateye mold accept straight eye hooks. Allen

Shad rap RS suspend and can be fished like a jerkbait. Allen

Hare jigs unless you live in FL where you just throw topwaters! Allen

The skirt expander from Naked bait co. just arrived today This weekend I plan on making some more sunfish skirts to try it out. Allen

Don't eat yellow snow! Allen

Eakins jig or the similar one made by Booyah. The problem I had learning jigs is that I started off disadvantaged. Don't worry about or use what KVD or the "pros" are using. Get yourself some 1/4 or 5/16oz finesse jigs like the Eakins in a color you are confident in along with some trailers. I am sure the Eakins craw trailer works but I have always used a Zoom super chunk jr or similar Yum craw. The smaller lighter bait in a confident color will catch you fish and after awhile when your confidence and skill have improved then try the full sized versions. If for some reason you cannot find a color that you like contact me and I will make you some as I have close to 100 different skirt colors. Allen

BDS 1.2 is a great finesse crank for clear water but if I could only get one LC crank it would be the BPS RC 1.5. That lure is a fish catching machine! As far as the CB001 a Mann's baby 1- will outfish it all day long. Allen

My opinion is they have become so popular that the fish are use to seeing them? They do not work as well for me but I still use them. This year a GP finesse worm outfished all senkos by like 4 to 1 and I still have the same bag I started the year with. Allen

I was guessing a candle too as a Bic lighter does not leave any soot. There are several things you can use to heat up the lead to paint it. I use one of those grill lighters that has a trigger and about a 10" neck to heat the baits up. Once the baits are powder coated I use a small toaster oven that I bought at Big Lots for $9 to cure them. Now I has a heat gun that I plan on experimenting with for multiple colors on a spinnerbait. Allen

I used some of the galvanized building a wooden crankbait and it rusted on me. Now I did like the black wire but the smallest size they had was 20 guage. Allen

Where did you get your wire? I have been looking for some copper wire but all I find is green. Allen

That's not a swimbait it's a popper! Allen

Ok now you can send them all to me you have my address. They sure do look good. Mine are starting to look better but I need more airbrush practice and some of those circuit board lips. Allen

Do you know where to get the 2 piece 4" finesse worm mold? Allen

Great baits!

All this talk about new molds made me order more. Five from LC and this one from Bob's. http://www.bobstackleshack.com//index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=32 Allen

I have the exact one and these work great when in a boat but they suck if you are fishing from shore! They work maybe 25% of the time from shore because you cannot get the weigh to slide right. The other thing I use is a telescopic light bulb changer ($5 big lots) for lures that are caught in trees. Allen

Sorry but both boats are winterized and I already have made other plans. In the spring if you are interested I usually fish by myself and could meet you there? Allen

Most of the time I just use a round head unless it is a swimming jig then I like the poison tail with the 30 degree round bend hook. Allen

You made me get out my crankbait making stuff to give it another shot! I have a couple dbait cranks I am working on right now but man do I need to figure out how to airbrush. :-[ Allen

Everything Basser89 said is true about that place. For me that place is either a 0 or 8 depending on the day? You are either catching a lot or nothing. Allen

Gulp is completely worthless for catching bass! It works well for panfish and catfish but I only caught 1 bass in two years fishing it? Actually I caught more watersnakes with it than bass so it is good for them too. Allen

I am in that boat with you! Allen
