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.
-
Zeros are what Strike King calls the elaxtech baits that Zman calls Zinkers
-
Fished around Crabtree Cove for 3 hours this pm. Managed 11 with 5 keeps. May have had a quadfecta if this is a mm. The second one is the one in question. It just looked a lot different than the other brown fish that I caught today.
-
I never went above State Park. It was clear there and down toward the dam. When I drove over Turkey creek it was nearly muddy.
-
Nice, good bunch of fish there. Did you actually catch them on Taneycomo? Is your color a secret? Purple over orange with a tad of orange crystal flash in a 30 grain jig has always been my go to color after the sun goes down.
-
As I stated, I could not find anything out away from the bank but I didn’t try very hard as I was using my new “leggy” jig in the lightest weight to see how it worked on Stockton. First results were promising. All of the fish were hooked in the roof of the mouth and none hooked deep. I am working on a similar one for my Neds.

Learn how to remove a bait from a gut hooked fish and your tube size and rigging won’t matter.
