  1. i really don't like the camera on this old phone but it's all I have, the photos always look blurry to me
  2. https://www.amazon.com/Spray-High-Gloss-Clearcoat-Aerosol/dp/B0043B7UQY is this the stuff?? I may pick up a can just to try it . are you using the automotive clear over acrylic paints? would polyurethane clear work with copic markers? this could really help me with turnaround time. what do you recommend cleaning the gun with? I have some acetone and paint thinner? there's several polyurethanes and it's a little confusing to me lol any additional info would be greatly appreciated too thanks
  3. i was thinking about that too, i'm going to soak some in water for a long time and see if anything happens then
  4. you bet, ever watched a crawdad this time of year? they are so lethargic you can just reach down and pick them up.
  5. nice job on those baits guys ! this SPRO rk is somewhat similar, but the camera flash makes it look more yellow than it really is i've got a few warts and spro I just finished too, when they're dry I'll post some pics
  6. been testing on some junk baits with dick nite s81 and D2T used together. a thin brushed on coat of s81 followed by a coat of D2T about a week later. So far it's been a positive experience. I haven't put them in the water yet but was just curious if the two would react negatively when used on the same bait.
  7. lol, good idea! i've been experimenting with guitar picks and different shapes of crankbait lips
  8. sweet man, you got to go ! hey Mark about those fish you were seeing were they suspended high? suspended off bottom? tight to the bottom? half way down? spread out? Lately I've really been struggling fishing from the bank. The last 2 trips I've caught a total of 3.
  9. i get (comprehend)what you guys are saying. Ham hinting at me being unable to comprehend isn't going to get you any perch colored rk's. i know you don't fish deep that's why i was jk about the saddle
  10. yep, ya'll just keep avoiding that spot. I'm telling tell ya there's no fish there, especially the brown kind lol good luck today buddy !
  11. uv fish sticks,mega strike and sticky liquid smelly jelly , and use them every time for soft plastics. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Smelly_Jelly_Sticky_Liquid/descpage-SL.html http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Megastrike_Fish_Attractant/descpage-MEGAATR.html http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Fish_Sticks_UV_Enhanced_Combo_Pack/descpage-FSUV.html smelly jelly liquid goes on soft plastics while still in the bag. The mega strike and/or fish sticks I keep in my pocket and re apply every 15-20 casts winter is a great time to dead stick soft plastics with a little extra scent added. a 3/16 Jewel shaky head with a 4" z man finesse wormz is a fine example http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Z_Man_Finesse_Wormz/descpage-ZMANFNW.html
  12. no,looks good, out of my price range though
  13. the red one?
  14. I use 3 types of clear, here's my experience. Devcon 2 Ton 30 minute I brush on jerkbaits and topwaters , then they are put on a lure turner till dry Envirotex Lite brushed on topwater plugs and jerkbaits, yes it's thin and runny at first so I brush it on and spin on a lure turn, must be mixed perfectly or it will not dry properly! both good options, I just use whichever one I happen have on hand at the time... Dick Nite S81 for dipping cranks and spoons. just dip or brush on and hang but don't let the s81 drip back into the dipping jar! brush off the extra drips as it drips off with a tiny brush, wait a couple weeks before using. First be ABSOLUTELY sure the paint is fully dried/cured. S81 has a tendency to wrinkle createx acrylic if the solvent in the paint has not fully gassed off and/or wasn't heat cured and completely dry before applying. I wait at least a week after painting before using s81. Don't use this indoors unless well ventilated, this stuff really stinks!! Some people like to use a thinner and then shoot it/spray it on. If you use this stuff get a can of Bloxygen. Moisture cure top coats are very sensitive to air exposure and Bloxygen will help with that. I use a small mason jar for dipping and fill it 3/4 full of S81. then will spray some bloxygen inside the original can and seal it back up, then another squirt or two in the mason jar when finished dipping, then screw the lid shut. so far so good! Devcon 2 Ton 30 min is the most user friendly imo and the cheapest of the 3. As long as you mix equal amounts, then just brush it on. Some people let Devcon hang dry but I turn mine.
  15. some recent predator warts and a SPRO Rk
  16. Hammer time the top spook? you mean the one in the pictures? all photos are of the same bait ,,or did you mean something else?
  17. they retail for $1300-$1700 price is now $950 as of 2/3/17 Dry Weight: This motor weighs 60 lbs, which is: light for the recommended boat weight class of 0 - 100 lbs.
  18. congratulations guys ! Are you looking for any Angels to help with the company's $$$ ?
  19. sent ya a message
  20. parts of the midwest are behind in the fishing world imo, look how many years the whopper plopper was available before it finally got attention around "here". Wait until the word gets out they make fish finders that help you identify fish species. Those have been around for while now, but you never see one mounted on boats around these lakes. I love my NAVMAN 4600. In the last few years they have discontinued and now that tech. sells under another brand name. Can tell you with 80+% accuracy what kind of game fish is under my boat. Agreed, circle hooks will probably never catch on in the mid west, but in some states they have become the norm. Fish recognition The echo strengths shown on the A-scope can be useful in recognising the type of fish. Different species of fish have different sizes and shapes of swim bladders. The air in the swim bladder reflects the ultrasonic pulse, so the strength of the echo varies between fish species according to the size and shape of the swim bladder Fish recognition The echo strengths shown on the A-scope can be useful in recognising the type of fish. Different species of fish have different sizes and shapes of swim bladders. The air in the swim bladder reflects the ultrasonic pulse, so the strength of the echo varies between fish species according to the size and shape of the swim bladder. when fishing among a school of fish and catching them note the fish species and the strength of the echo return on the A scope screen. when you see that same echo on the screen again, it's most likely the same fish species. (this was copied from my owners manual)
  21. me too,i'm not nitpicking or picking on anyone here , i'm just saying treble hooks are pretty hard on fish too
  22. disagree with Bill and abkeenan, sorry bubs, how did guys you come to this conclusion? not always, but typically? terrible fish killers??.. I try to educate people who have yet to switch over to circle hooks. I live bait fish and support c&r consistently. Bill, abkeenan, and others reading this if you're not using circle hooks for live bait and/or even some artificial baits ,you should be. Those treble hooks we're using can put an eye out, or tear a gill, or get stuck in our bodies..does this mean we also "aren't too concerned with fish care? " I've been brown trout fishing with several guides on taney, norfork,and the white. They ALL said the exact same thing with live bait "let the fish run with the bait so they get it good ,lol" g, no wonder they swallow it. "for hardbaits, if needed most don't, gently rotate the hook hanger so the circle hook hangs forward, or simply add an extra split ring " and say goodbye to fish throwing the trebles http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/circle_hooks.shtml
  23. it's 2017 ,get some circle hooks and forget about gut hooking fish I made the switch years ago, circle hooks are AWESOME! the one thing about this TR forum that makes me laugh is darn near every time somebody mentions live bait the same few start talking about gut hooking killing fish. We know ... we know... you don't like live bait
