  1. I didn’t even contact Shorty’s because I don’t need a 1000 of that hook.
  2. Then all you have to do is call Zeiner’s and place an order.
  3. 6317 BN is the hook number. I got mine from Zeiner’s in Wichita KS. You don’t have to have a Midwest finesse ewg mold. You can modify most any mold. It just has to be ground down to where the hook fits before the bend. I used my old Midwest finesse mold and had a guy at a machine shop grind it. I didn’t want the keepers and wasn’t sure how the hook eye would fit so I used high temp silicone to fill in some voids.
  4. I sent several reels to a guy to be cleaned, super tuned and install ceramic bearings. I didn’t see much difference. I’d just put good abec bearings in.
  5. That sounds like the time period for a box of jerks that was given to me. Thanks.
  6. I fell heir to a box of jerk baits and 2 of these were in it. It has no markings.
  7. I hope none as I hope we don’t get iced over here in MO.
  8. Those look like they would get the job done. I don’t have those kinds of knives but I keep a folding knife and a fillet knife in the boat and carry my Uncle Henry Rancher and a Swiss army knife all the time.
  9. Largemouth Smallmouth Spotted (called a Kentucky around here) Meanmouth that looked like sm/spot cross Meanmouth that looked like lm/sm cross Guadalupe
  10. Some of my friends did well on them but not me. Now the Super R is a whole different story.
  11. I watched it as soon as it came out on Paramount +. I’m not a big TC fan but the movie was good.
  12. I have both and wear both for different occasions. I have a couple of Carhartts but they are stiff and heavy so I cut and haul wood in them.
  13. Well I’m doing great. Nitro took my boat into the factory and a bunch of glass work which they covered under warranty. It came back during the cold spell. It is warming and the wind is supposed to drop so I have everything ready for a trip to the lake tomorrow. I haven’t been in the boat since early October.
  14. Eric Prey would be a good choice or Pete Wenners. They both put out frequent reports and you can look them up and maybe follow them. If you should decide to try Bull Shoals, I recommend Buster Loving. Have you ever been to this area before?
  15. That sure looks like centrifugal brakes to me. The way I clean them is take a clean dry Qtip and wipe the drum. Then put a little Shimane oil on a Qtip and wipe the drum. How many of the brakes do you have set to engage the drum? You may want to experiment with that.
  16. Once I rig them they stay on until I lose them no matter what season.
  17. Neither. I just change baits.
  18. You can get a rod custom built to your specifications for less than that.
  19. 90% of my fishing time is spent fishing on or near the bottom. My 6 best setups are for bottom contact Some of them do double duty but each of them has a specific bottom contact job.
  20. The US Army Corps of Engineers use the Mustang. That was enough for me.
  21. I had a Precision Sonar mount on my Ulterra.
  22. I have not used that particular hook but I have been using their hooks for several months and find them to be of very good quality.
  23. There’s only one of you. What’s your life worth other than the best.
  24. This time of year I always have a Ned and Shaky tied on and ready.
