I think it is called a beetlespin? In clear water try using a fluke. Allen

Black! Allen

Zoom lizards in solid white or black are the only things I can get to work? Besides that I use a 1/2-3/4oz sinker with a 3' leader and it usually works well? In clear or cold water zoom finesse worms or a case jacks worm has worked in the past. Like others have said I do not like this rig but it is the only way I can catch fish in deep water consistantly. Allen

If I could only fish one color of soft plastic it would have to be green pumkin. It has produced fish for me from solid mud less than 6"visibility to water so clear that in 30' you could tell what side landed on a coin. Allen

What is wrong with the colors? LC pearl ayu (similar to your top bait) is one of my top 3 jerkbait colors. I just purchased a Badger airbrush and some water based paint (Whittler recommendation)so hopefully I can start to paint as well as you and some others on here? Allen

I just use the rubber collars because most jigs do not last long enough (a lot of rocks around here). A couple of questions for you since we make similar jigs? Do you trim down the lenght of your weedguards? Have you tried the new VMC flat eye hooks that are similar to the mustad 32798N (I think this is the #)? Allen

One of the companies mentioned use to sell them but stopped because of the patent. I have some chart/white, 3/8oz guppyheads that are Ti but not the same wire as terminator uses? The ones I have the wire seems more flimsy and does not snap back but it sure is flexable. I picked up about 12 of these off ebay for $3 each but I like the super stainless for pouring my own heads. Allen

Baby brush hog, super hog or kreature bait all work really well and my favorite color is green pumkin. Allen

They all work for me. Allen

RC 1.5 Allen

What color are you looking for? I have some extras and I may have what you need. Allen

Bandit 100 LC RC 1.5 Mann's baby 1- Allen

Mustad maks several 28 degree hooks but they are not flat eye. A do-it mold can be modified to accept the regular eye hooks with a dremel. Use the bit that looks like a bullet and slowly press down at the mold eyelet until it is concave. I did this with my mold and it works just fine. Allen

Silicone for the colors for most bait except flippin jigs. For flippin jigs I use MicroMunch tackle skirts because they have the bulkiest profile. I forget what they are made of but Earthworm77 or one of his prostaff will probably post on them? Hands down they are the best flippin jig skirt out there! I caught my PB on one this spring a 24" LM. Allen

Thisis what I would go with. Allen

Bluegill= open snap swivel, gummie bears, bell sinker, bare hook. Bass= I use to have a kitchen sink novelty lure that would actually catch bass. Allen

A telescopic light bulb changer with the spring removed from the end works well for getting baits out of trees. Allen

They look great! I really need to get an airbrush. How do those bodies run in the water though? Allen

Kermit has hit rock bottom! Allen

PITA to make aren't they? I have been working on some too for colder water.

0-1' Mann's baby 1- is the best hands down but that Bagelys bream like logger posted works well for lake LM. For 3-5' Bandit 100 has been my go to bait for 3 years but this year my #1 crank is that LC RC 1.5. So far this year about 75% of my fish have been caught on the LC bait. Allen

Most of the tackle making stores sell a skirt collar with 2 small loops that allow you to attach rattles. Allen

My habit has turned to hardbaits from Japan that I usually cannot pronounce the color or read anything on the box? :-[ Since I have been fishing lately is has not been that bad and I have only spent about $75 in the past 2 months. Allen

Somewhere between $0.75 -1.50 depending on the components? Buying in bulk helps keep the costs down too. Allen
