whether it has sockets or not I always use Duco Cement it works great and I've ever lost an eye

I haven't found any problems with powder on blades with my spinners - if you brush tap them as it uses less powder.

Glad we could corrupt you!!LOL Making your own is great and you can make something never seen on a shelf.

Nice baits!!!

They do use a stirrup clevis - the reason I switch them over to folded is on the stirrup the flattened top and bottom have square edges and it seems to easily pick up grass or slime and you spend time picking stuff off your spinner.

My nephew uses them all the time and asked me to make some copies for him. The one on the left is an actual rooster and mine is on the right. The difference is the blade, roosters use minnow style blade - mine is a swing blade, but through a buy on ebay I have actual Swiss Swing Blades, actual rooster style blade. Check out the products on-line catalogues and you'll find most of the info but you'll have to root around for it. The 1/16th and below rooster tails: .024 wire #1 folded clevis Blade size is a #1 minnow style blade Treble hook size on a 1/16th is a size 12 treble The 1/8th oz.: .026 wire. #1 folded clevis Blade size is a #2 minnow style blade Treble hook size on a 1/8th is a size 10 treble

Here's a few custom black silver glitter with silver krystal flash and black cross cut rabbit minnow pearl color with white pearl bottom white and black zonker strips with silver krystal flash Hot Pink and Black with matching zonker strip

fshng2 This is all the fur and tails I've bought in the last eight months http://s218.photobucket.com/user/Fatmans1/slideshow/Furs and pelts?sort=3

Besides this last order - I bought a load of arctic fox and a hugh lot of rabbit skins. My daughter brought me some old fur coats from a house she cleaned out. I cut all my own. Before I got these I bought the Hairline assorted trim bags at Cabelas and cut straight and cross cuts from those - believe me you can cut a lot of strips from the pieces they put in the bags. And a bunch cut up

Got 4 new dyes from Anglers Workshop Fl. Chartreuse - mallard and a piece of Silver fox Kingfisher Blue - mallard and a piece of arctic fox, screwed up and water was too hot so I saved what I could and wrapped it up with a bag tie Claret Fiery Brown All bagged up

I cut a lot of them into zonkers and use them for tying jigs - been a couple of streamer patterns that call for the zonkers but even living in Vermont and as many people that use streamers I've never tied one!!

Nice tie Salty

Got my four new dyes - Kingfisher Blue, Fl. Chartreuse, Claret and Fiery Brown. With the dreary day we've got I've got em in the dye now and soaking.

Bought another batch of fur from the same lady I've bought from before White and Black Arctic Fox and Red Fox Pink/White rabbit skin and Grey/Brown Rabbit Skin Natural and blond nutria She threw all these in as freebies!! Top Row - possum and tibetan lamb Bottom row - more white arctic fox, silver fox and alpaca dyed blue curly lamb, tibetan lamb and long sheep hair Length of the long white sheep

fshng2 Only ever rinsed them off and never had a problem with them. Now I've done rabbit hide arctic fox body and tail pieces and haven't had any problems with those either. Haven't done any bucktails as I bought a big lot off a guy.

Gotten some pm's that it didn't work so here's one that should http://s218.photobucket.com/user/Fatmans1/slideshow/dyes and final color

Okay I've been talking to a few about dyeing so I THINK!! THINK!!! I did this right. This is a slide show listing what I used and the color it came out. I hope it works right!! As you can see from some of my early tries they didn't come out so good!! http://s218.photobucket.com/user/Fatmans1/slideshow/dyes%20and%20final%20color?sort=3

Absolutely YES!!!!!!!! If you're only tying jigs you want all the chest and flank feathers.

Sent you a contact on your website

Once I get some hooks I can answer that question = I usually run a 2/1 mix, 2 tire weight to 1 part pure.

Thanks Gas for posting the info I read about the mold on here and it's the first time I ever saw one for sale - so picked it up.

thanks guys! That will keep me from wasting money on the wrong hook.

i do wish they had an actual color chart!! The fl. chartreuse, and kingfisher are two colors I've been thinking about and now that I see the colors I'm gonna have to get them. I do wish they had a rusty orange color though.

Picked up a Do-It Slide Along Jig mold today - Now just have to buy the hooks to go along with it

Couple of the companies are switching some of their products to other manufacturers
