    I used to do a lot of different things years ago but with time and age I have settled on strait bucktail and plastic trailers. Lot of fun to make a lot of concoctions , but I will do ok with what I got. I like bushy jigs. I realize they have such things as a slower drop that is not always conductive to good fishing. But they also have a soft landing that makes them easier to work thru the brush without hang ups. Since wrench told me about rabbit fur awhileI back have been using it at times on my 1/32 and 1/16 oz crappie jigs. i just take. a couple short strips of it and just tie them to the jig hook right I back of the head. Sure is nothing fancy but it does work.

    I think I am going to drop the weed guards for my lake jigs. They are pretty bushy and set down softly. That alone makes them more weedless. I really need to buy another mold. Mine are at least 40 yrs old and it seems like a lot of th new hooks are hard to fit in them. I have modified a couple a little. I also like the longest shanks I can find. I am going to see what my friend can find for me. He owns Osage Outdoors in Laurie among other things. He is just about the nations for most lure collector ( about 14,000) also collection of reels numbering ( I think he USA them for parts mostly) between 3,000 and 4,000

    i have nothing against wealthy people. I do have a lot against greed. If I owned a company I would set up profit sharing part of what the employ get on his paycheck would be directly connected to the companies profitability. And we would ALL rise and fall with that. You would be surprised how much that would change the outlook. i also would put in place a group health plan. Yeah they did that alright. Let's see Coal operators, Steel mills and Dress factories. Three good examples of the fair handed big bussinesses running over people. In the case of coal operators and steel mills they went one step further they murdered them. There used to be a song called 16 tons ,nice tune , but It was a very sad true story. Had they tried to take care of thier employees better I really do not think we would have had the rise of all powerful unionism. Do not worry the greed has already gone to far. We got a country full of unhappy poor and lower class people. We also have guns all over the place. Enjoy yourself while you can because they are going to rise up with a great determination ( that the soft upper crust does not possess) just like they have throughout history and destroy everything including a lot of the upper class. It amazes me everything goes to China for profit. What great business move. People need to pay attention to something beside their greedy profits. China is killing you financially without firing a bullet. But that wil come also. She is prepairing to kick your greedy butts all the way across the Pacific.

    i bought a float tube during my days on the Meramec. I thought it would just be a great idea to come down from the birds nest to Onandaga on it. Having been down that stretch many times. I cannot know what I was thinking. By the time I got to the the low water bridge at Onandaga I was so cramped up and sore I could hardly get out of the water. Plus my backside was brushed and tender as well from not getting my footing on a few riffles and bumping merry along.

    mitch ----listening is somerthing that has been going on for a long long time among nations that could do it. The carrier I was on had had a couple of rows of what they called whips but in fact they were is most advanced listening devise at the time. We spent a lot of time in places we should not have whith those thing hanging out there. Places like Vietnam, China and Korea. They knew way back then that Vietnam was going to be a problem.

    In the hands of the general population I do not support drones all over the place. If that was to happen here I would just use my shotgun. As far as the government drones I do not worry about that. I do not have anything they would be interested in. They can see my yard very clearly from 50,000 ft where most of them of that type operate anyway.

    Enforcer---- I am certainly one of those who is in your view is in. The negative light. But in mine it is a bright light i am shining on something light on something I see differently. You do not seem to like desension. Well of course anyone who want to get ahead in this world should know how to suck up. Amazes me the extremes people will go to defeat a idea better than theirs. I do not know anything about your life path but you seem like someone who is living the American Dream. I think you see charities as a necessary evel. Here is a secret for you so do most people that have to use it. I bet you got a entirely different view than me what greed is, what unfairness is to others and lack of opertunity. The holding of people down because the might not like there looks. Passing them over because they do not fit is generally the excuse for that. As they say it is not what you know it is who you know. That is a wonderful way to decide the national future. Look around you it is pretty clear where is has gotten us. Poor people struggle with these things daily. One last thing NO I am not poor and I am not rich either. I have a 6 figure bank account. And every penny was earned in a morally way and good saving because I never made a lot of money .

    I understand where you are coming from because I know where you have been wrench. I would have used the term poor. . But he did say what Phil is saying. He was addressing a specific thing I think. But the poor was what he was all about. Christ was the true meaning of socialism. Socialism today's is a perversion of what it is suppose to be. I will say this at the danger of having my door busted down by the Feds. But in the vein of Christ I am 100 percent socialist. There is a term you will hear a lot today. "Well they feel through the crack" I do not like that at all. People do not understand how everything can work against someone. I was told recently about a lady in the community that was deserted with 2 kids. Some people around here who should surely know better think she ripping of the government. I am sure she could find a Job at. Wallmart. But who is going to watch her young kids? And what does it cost. Well it cost more than the can make at Wallmart to drive to Camdenton or Versailles ,pay a baby sitter and put good on the table. i do not see any crack there. I see the lack us and the American way Andfailure of the government to provide something. people do not like others who are getting benefits. Roosevelt had the right idea. if I was the president I am sure there are enough jobs around to give these Peole some type of work to earn the unemployment. Another thing I would do is go to businesses and say OK if you will give this person a job at the salary at what others are paid. I would pay the bussiness the the differance between. I admit there would be a limit to how long I would continue to refund the money. But there might be a whole lot of people they would keep after it stopped. Also I would be searching for someplace where they might learn a new skill. But for those who really are on the take. I would say hold your hat tightly on your head because when this ends your going to fall through abig crack.

    Like everyone else I play around now and then with the colors even though I do not really think they mean much. Here is a pattern I used a couple times it seems to work. The jig is a 1/2 oz the colors are dark olive bottom light olive and the top just a tiny bit of what that call burnt orange.  That is a baby brush hog in orange watermellon and is what I use on it. The other one they call sprayed glass. I have used it on my gray jigs. I really prefer a color they have not made in years called Bluegill . That one was almost gray with a few specs of something or other in there. It was my best lure for fall pitching to docks. I think I only have one left. I bought about 10 bags of them every where I could find them. i might do something in black gray and blue with this one. The  Stained Glass is one of wrenches favorites no idea how he fishes it. I bet though rigged Texas.

    One think I do not like about zoom they will change colors to much. image.jpeg.68a4c92ef0698d6b71da962144f20

      Hey Harry,

      Those look awesome! Thanks for the information! I really need to give the Hair jig a try down there this next year. I like that color pattern a lot!

      Are you looking for the full size Brush Hog in bluegill or the Baby Brush Hog. Academy Sports has the Baby Brush Hog in bluegill...

Zoom is unable to provide specific information as to the availability in your area. Contact your local tackle store or distributor for more information."

      I am headed down there in a week or so I will look at the bluegill. The old color was blue gray sort of. I do not undstand my own thinking some times. I do not believe in color per see. I lean towards either light or dark mostly. Then I get particular about trailors. Kind of silly. 

      Bushy hair jig are sort of like a semi weed gard. they land gentle.I have tried them on plastic worms of all sizes. With so do results but still like it. Another dilly thing.

    Yes mr Lilly. He also said somerhing about a fair measure. Seems to me his whole life was dedicated to fairness. I do not see that being done very well either. we were at Taney last summer and. Looking to rent a boat last summer. As it turned out. We did not but you had the lowest rates there. So I complement you on that much. NO BOT is a surprise to me. I thought all social sites had them. I monitored a chat at one time.
  13. Old plug
    Well as far as symbol etc for cuss words just program it into your BOT. I know you have one. I see nothing with you making money Lilly. As far as I know you run a good place. What I object to is greed. I am the the first generation that has never seen the inside of a coal mine. I heard all my young life about greedy coal and mine operators. When I see everything connected to fishing selling at prices far above what they are worth. That is greed plain and simple to me So much of it is made in China for a few dines and sold here at the least for several dollars. That is pure greed as well. I also regard it as un-American. Looks to me like the goals of tackle manufactures is to just take advantage of the consumer. Just a few weeks ago all the dimes companies are spending in China showed up on our West coast in the form of Chinese war ships. They were out there probing Is what they were doing. Looking for ways that might benefit them in case of war. And that should be scary folks.

    I have one opinion of bussiness people like Jonny Morris, WallMart, many more China Butt kissing bussiness men on trial for treason.

    MJK86....... Is that a collection of wiggle warts? You might be shocked at just how little they are worth. I have mentioned on here we have a man down here at LOZ who is one of the nation foremost lure collectors. There are things about any collectible lure that make its value rise other than its name. One of the most is the box it came in. Painting custom colors will hurt the value as well. The value comes in the rarity of the original color, condition etc. Now if you got something like a 1920s Heddon bait in the original box you got yourself a money maker.

    I'm 76 Warrior and got a bunch of that arthritis stuff. If your health insurance will permit you to I would say go see somebody up a missou in Columbia. They got a a good bone department. Most of them are teaching professors and researchers. That's also specilize. My knee Doctor does nothing but knees and hip. Th guy I am going to about the shoulder does only shoulders elbows down the arm.
  17. Old plug
    Weekend warrior --- it could be arthritis. If your over 50 I bet it is. How do you do with shoulders and knees. I can only say be conservative. I know it's real hard to cut down on the way you fish. But you might need to.
  18. Old plug
    That is true. Eve with arthritis you can improve your mobility somewhat dot short periods. I am glad that anything can help you guys. My problem is pretty advanced arthritis. Even with that exercise will help loosen it up. Trouble is weather like. We are getting right now is going to make it worse.

    Chief----- I just want to say the worst I seen was anything but a church. I Really think in the church's it is ignorance. They see the. Fishing rules pamplet, but do not know there is Missouri wildlife code. They think that's it.

    It does look a bit odd Jerry. I hope he did not have a original and sent it to China and have I duplicated PBS is. I also go go along with Champ and Jerry. If you like it, believe in it, and use it. Your chances of catching fish are greatly improved. But when you watch some of these tournaments on TV you I'll see a lot of them using different lures. They are all using what works for them the best. I do not care if some says thy re biting on something like a yellow wiggle wart. I bet there biting on a lot of other stuff including your false teeth If you can get a hook attached , into the proper range and a decent presentation.

    i do not know how old you are but you can expect it to return. Later it will be your shoulder. My advice is cool it and not press t the minute you feel it coming. I think driving cast rather than full arch cast is what causes it. a driving cast is where you push your fore arm out from your body when you cast. iT puts a lot more stress on your forearm.

    nItch hate to bother you but I am wondering about that tiny wire you use in your wore guards. I do not use wire guards for the most part and if I do I am going to tie them on under the wrappings.  So is that stuff sold someplace like hobby shops etc.

      Well thank you I am going to buy some. That looks like that is the amount I would want for making a occasional weed guard. I will bend it and pinch I together then warp it over the top of the buck tail then spread it out.  I got to go to Springfield. In a week or so. I will look for it.

    I am not against the church I will give you the out line of what really aggravated me. I will not  tell you when where are indentlfy anything.

    There was this big crappie tournament in the spring at spawning time. They claim they always return return fish to the water. They did not. They kept  2 days worth of crappie in a tank. They dedicated them to a non prophet place  like Moose lodge but not it. There must have close to 200lbs of crappie fillets came out of that tank. Most of them were large females full of eggs. I see nothing conservative about that. As far as I know they might have used the proceeds for a building fund. If they specify were going to give it to the poor etc fine otherwise you do not know what they will do with it. I feel they should adjust the law to permit that under only certain circumstances. That is my only point.

      I agree sir.  And I have seen similar things happen and didnt like it either.

  24. Old plug
    Like I say I do not care if they do it. Just amend the code to allow it. I get military about that type thing.
  25. Old plug
    Wonder what it will do to. Collectors Mitch. Have a friend with at least 100+ of those wart most of them in original boxes.
