Shawn at LC told me yesterday that he has had some he's been using for 3 years, I inquired about it frezzing also and he said it wouldn't, I run minimal heat in my shop in the winter months at night so was concerned with it freezing, he said not a problem. He did advise the longer it sits around the more it will need shook or stirred making sure everything is off the bottom and mixed back well.

Looking for some long White Bucktail about 4 to 5 inches long, having trouble finding it any suggestions ???????

Your in luck, get ahold of Charlie at fishingskirts.com I just had him match the Greenpumpkin Candy Paca Chunk and it is perfect. He also has the straight GP also and is the best price I have found on skirt tabs bar none.

JIM your a good ole southern boy, you and me messure with the same spoons ....a pinch and a smigen I have those spoons:lol: just picked up a new one "a butt load" them is hard to come by..........

Jim I think you are right on the money:worship: I was REAL close but forgot about the white, now that you mentioned white DING DING DING that is what I was missing, Thanks a ton............ A PICTURE never looks the same as "in the hand" that is why I don't like posting pics....... Nova you are missing out not throwing that color up north, it should come with a disclaimer about injuries when used. Thanks Again Everyone

That would be great Jim THANKS

thanks nova I will try to get a pic, of the Zoom Cucumber seed color, as for writing down formulas, that is kinda a no brainer BUT most are just errors and don't really want to repete, when I find something I like I do put it in a note book, trouble there is there just isn't enough time in a year to fish all the colors I think might be good ones besides the Glad Company don't have enough baggies to hold all the colors you come up with while expermenting, heheheheheeee

Just new at this and waisting alot plastic trying to come up with a "Zoom Like" Cucumber color, any help would be great.....although I have come up with some good looking colors but don't know how to repete them either........ just can't get the cucumber formula down. Thanks

just an update I got the mold today, Monday got an email telling they were shipping out on Monday and recieved the mold today 2 days later usps priority mail right in line, customer VERY happy with mold and has aready poured about 50 peices thru it, THANKS DELMART

Sorry Guys didn't in any means want to step on toes, my sister works for the USPS and I ship everyday thru there, I know there is no guarantees Kc but in 5 years of shipping that way it has only missed the 2-3 delivery time frame 2 times for my business. As for Vodka man I don't understand where you come up with me slamming ANYONE ! ! all I ask is if it is common for this to happen with them. I do 90% of biz online don't have the time to sit on hold, nor wait for a return call as most companies will do I have found it easier and faster to search online, when I need a answer at that moment. Again I am SORRY that some took offense that wasn't my intent.

Wondering about the shipping practise of DelMart, on tuesday this week I placed an order via online for a customer who needed this mold by Saturday, I searched and found the mold also found that I could get it shipped via USPS Priority Mail, knowing Priority Mail will reach ANYWHERE in the lower 48 in 2 days 3 in a real remote area I promised my customer I could have it for him........ Ordered on Tuesday 8am today(Saturday) still no mold, just wandering if this is common practise of this company.

KY interesting question I got around 500 lbs of lead sheeting that contractors were puting in the walls of the Xray room booth when the new hospital was built here in town, it was the drop offs of new sheeting but I had never given it a thought about the used stuff, the same company didn't offer any of the old used sheeting they took out so now that makes me wonder as well, Interesting...... it makes for great lead to work with.

good rule of thumb is a mark up of 40% or more and depends on the items as well but never less than a 40% mark up or you won't stay in Biz for long....

A sucessfull fisherman knows it all boils down the DEPTH AND SPEED. that is something hard for most to understand and apply. Color has no bearing. But thank God for the most of you who keep my bills paid. Concetrate more on Depth and Speed and leave the pretty colors to the to the weekend warriors.

The Rod action will have alot to do with the distance of a cast or lack of, the stiffer the rod you will loose distance, a lighter tip rod will give you a far longer cast. As far as reels go I have used them all and it is kinda like the age ole question Ford or Chevy Shimano Chronarch reels are my choice, although Pinnacle is making some really smooth and inexpensive bait casters that I have had good luck with as well

Thanks guys the heating in short burst did the trick, now just got to play to get the right color tint, Your right Spungee that is what the white did, that is what I thought when the salesman at LC told me that, OH WELL he is a GOOD saleman, LOL at least one time, but not again, live and learn or shall I say Pay and learn ???

Just started pouring some Darters and the guy at LC told me to get smoke color mix black and white lc colors using there 502 plastic, OK did it in Microwave worked great added there holo jewel string flake and also black flake the first poured biat was GREAT so I thought "I got it" I reheated my plastic and went to pouring and everything after that first one turned out watermelon of some shade, I would say it is the reheating is doing something, or the flake is changing it, I am BRAND new at this and just wanted to do some darters for my own use, I heated my plastic liquid to 250 and then poured, I know they say 300 but it was very runny at 250. help me please, just learning,,,,,, I sure need the smoke color ?????????? THANKS

I have the Lurecraft one and they don't seem to hold up that long I was wanting to get an aluminum one that will last, Bob who ???? and his Email addy if you have it, Thanks for your reply.........

looking for a Erie Darter Alum. mold in the 3 inch size, any one got one they want to part with PM me...... Thanks

Charlie is now selling thin cut thin sheet tabs as well, they are a regular tab and then cut twice again making them a fine frog hair type tab. I have been using these for years buying them from skirts plus as a special order and they out sell regular cut skirts 3 to 1, Charlies skirts are alot softer and cheaper, my customers are now asking for jigs tied with his skirts ONLY, so I must believe they are better, I am sure if you contact Charlie he would send you a couple sample tabs for you to be the judge.

Last I have talked with them they have had a big rush on there skirts but as of 2 days ago was waiting on the new shippment to arrive, they have been around a long time but the web site is new to them. You can call Charlie at the number listed on the site and talk to him about an order, a real nice guy to deal with and honest.

The tabs they sell are 100% silicone and to my knowledge NO ONE else sells tabs that are 100%, I have tied jigs for many years and these have made some of the best looking skirts of any I have tried plus they have a lot different action in the water. Plus the price is about half what Janns is selling theres for. I am very pleased and just thought I would pass on the info.

A Great place to get skirts and Great people to work with, VERY HAPPY with this company: http://www.fishingskirts.com/

The stand up jig or erie works really well as a shakey head for worms and lil craws too. I have been making and using them for a couple years now I like them better than the ball head for the shakey application, as far as the football head, personally I don't like them although my area lakes have alot of weeds and they are useless in weeds, now around rock and gravel they work well

Only one word to say ......SPOONPLUGS at any Speed and Depth
