There is also elevation. From my house I go down to Table Rock and down to Stockton because both are down hill from me.

I fished out of State park today from 10:30-3:30. I fished between there and Orleans Trail. I caught 14 bass all on Zeros. They were in coves in about 6 fow. I couldn't get a bite deeper than that. I weighed my best 5. They ranged from 4.75 pounds to 2 pounds for a total of 14.5 pounds. -
I am surprised that they have lasted this long.
-
If you were referring to me, I was answering the ops question.
-
I will give those ideas some thought and see what I can do. Thanks fo the suggestions.
-
I had coons getting into pallets of range cubes. They would literally rip the sacks apart. I tossed some Bar Bait on the floor and wala no more torn sacks. I am no feeding it to ground hogs.

That is why I am into several revisions. Drilling with my smallest bit and putting the stainless steel wires in with Gorilla epoxy. It did not hold very long. I switched to JBWeld marine epoxy. It held better but no more than a few hours. So now I am using only 1 wire, through over and back. It can’t fall out now. I have also switched from a drill bit to a finish nail because my lead contains antimony and is quite hard and I keep breaking bits off in the jigs.
-
That is where I got the idea. I couldn’t see paying their price plus I wanted more hook and size options.

I have heard good things about John’s Hot Props in Ozark.
-
Nope I keep it in the garage with my Rottweilers.

Let the buyer be ware !!!! I had a very bad experience with them. If you take a prop out, carefully inspect it for any impurities and take lots of pictures or you might get blamed for an imperfection that was already there, at least I did.

Report back please. I have been wanting to try around High Point myself. Sealing is a matter of spraying with high temp engine enamel, waiting a day then a second coat. After the second coat two days wait is best before pouring. I don’t know how long it will last. I am looking at the BTS top injection mold. I think I can make a plate and do laminates like I used to do with the biffle bug.
-
Sorry too much red tape for me and they are too labor intensive to sell at a reasonable price.
-
So maybe hold a dink contest contest sometime. I participated in one of them a few years ago. It was a lot of fun.
-
Yes. I’ve put my hand pours, elaztech. brush hogs, and beavers on them . They all stand up. 3 trips to Stockton and I am still on the same jig. I am working on this as a means to avoid deep hooked T rigged and shaky worms. So far so good. They are labor intensive but doing the job.
-
Yep single cavity molds are the pits. I’ve looked at angling Ai. I have some molds from them. If I bought Do It, I would buy 2 or 3 and probably seal them for a shinier finish.
-
You could always keep them and make squirrel chitlins.
-
Good looking baits there. What beaver mold do you have? One of my students has been flipping beavers and wants me to get a mold.
-
Letum have it freefallin. My back seat partner likes to read books and newspapers while I fish so I’ll be waiting for the rain to get by before I get back at them. I am really having a good time with my new leggy jig but I am going to have to use something else also.
-
What you gonna do with them when you catch them?
-
The COE has everything open. I haven’t been to Rouark but the courtesy docks where I have been were in and at a good level. Bass fishing has also been good.
-
I think a boat that large needs a 36 volt trolling motor. I had one similar in size with a 24 volt. It was ok but not great. I am running 36 volt now. It is way better. You will get more functions if you match trolling motors and sonar/gps which work together. When you buy tires get specifically trailer tires not passenger tires. Trailer tires have a much stronger sidewall. Where are you located?
-
I’ve tried a lot of heads and modified a lot of molds trying to come up with a head that I like and have the confidence to use. The jig head is in its 4th and hopefully final modification. So far I have caught 25 bass on it. None have been hooked deep. All have hooked in the roof of the mouth. I am using a 4/0 hook that I modified to fit into my football jig mold.

So far we have not seen bears or ferrule hogs in northern stone county, just a cougar every 5-10 years.
-
The scales were a lot different also even tho it didn’t show the lateral indicators of a spot. I haven’t had a MM this year.
