Brush head mold, it can be dragged like a football head or flipped and it will swim under a tree.

I have my own anise scent for years and it works and last forever. Get a bottle of Mineral oil and a small bottle of anise they use to make candy. Just simply mix it together a half pint to one jar of Anise. It works and if you miss the fish you know you will be even with him because it will most likely give him the "runs".........

Everyone on this site has been helpful to me one time or the other. I have never posted a "how to" on this site but i'm willing to share my version of the "A rig". Just look at the pic and if you have any questions, just let me know. Thxs

I have and it works just fine, I can pour an 1/8 ounce head over the wires.

I just trying to develop an injector for small amounts of plasitic. I pour baits for my personal use. I have used the injector from LC and have been burnt on many occasions. Needless to say, I really don't care for the burning part. I am looking to build something simple as the injector but in a more stable and pain free atmosphere. I use the lee pot now to pour lead heads and as of yet have not purchased the plastic pot. I have read on this forum the spout of the lee pot clogs just like the LC injector. I'm basically looking to build an oversize syringe using the pot as the container and developing a piston to push the plastic into the mold. I noticed one person asked about the mixing of salt and coloring. I plan mixing the salt and coloring the old fashion way, using a microwave and a pyrex cup then pouring it into the lee pot which would keep it warm then using the lee pot as the syringe with a piston to push the plastic into the mold. I guess one could have small ridges on the piston and have some way to rotate the rod and piston such as the old fashion egg beater. This is just a simple plan.

I was searching this site for ways to make an injector machine when I came across this address: www.nhsouth.com/crafts/workbench/injector.htm I would like to know if anyone has tried this or any other relatively simple injector machine:drool: . I can see maybe using a lee pot and possibly developing a piston to push the plastic into molds through the pouring spot. The website gave me the idea. I would like to know if anyone out there has developed an injection machine.

I see the drop shot as clear water flipping. Just like flipping a jig, most of the bites occur on the drop shots initial fall, whether its deep water of shallow.. I believe that the fall rate and the allowing of the bait to come in contact with the bottom as being the most critical aspects of the drop shot. I almost always use a lite sinker such as a 1/16 ounce. The only real time I drag the drop shot is when I feel structure on the bottom such as a brush pile or a drop, then I usally pull the bait tight then let it fall back down working my way through all the limbs. I fish brush piles usually with a regular size 2 offset wormhook. I see alot of people thinking that you need a circle hook to be effective. I dont see that as being true. 90% of the time I use the regular offset worm hook. You dont get hung up as much with the texas rigged drop shot. As for baits, I have caught fish drop shotting small robo worms, tiny brush hogs, tubes, grubs, lizards, beavers, trick worms, curly tail worms and senkos. If you have a lake with deep grass try longer leaders. I tend to use a 6 to 10 inch leader but with deep tail grass, I try to determine the height of the grass then 6 to 10 inches above that. I have used leaders up to three feet around grass and at times that is very effective. My favorite drop shot bait for this type of situation is the beaver.
