I will just be trying to learn the tricks of the trade this winter. Can't wait to see what I can come up with. Maybe I will get some inspiration when I finally get to start working on some hard baits. Hopefully I will get to spend some time on the ice to try some new color combos. It's been awhile since I've been ice fishing so I need to get back into the groove.

Unless of course you get her interested too.

Happy Birthday Vman! Stay out of trouble!

On the main forums screen you will see a member submitted tutorial section. There is one titled An Introduction to Pouring Plastics. It is located under soft plastics how to. Has some really great info.

Being one of those kids you guys tell stories about, I thought I would chime in. My best memories of growing up are fishing trips with Dad and going "up north" to the cabin and fishing all day from the dock or the rowboat stopping only when I was told I had to come and eat dinner. For all of the great things I was able to do as a kid, nothing comes close to hitting the lake with Dad and dropping a line. As a matter of fact, I'm leaving in the morning for a couple of weeks to see my family, and of course hit the lakes with Spike to catch some fish and catch up on what's going on in life. Can't wait to see ya!

Love the pink crocs Pete! Nice boat too. Keep us posted.

Very nice tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to make and post it. Greatly appreciated!

Wow, those look incredible! Great inspiration for a beginner like me!

Happy Birthday!!!

When I hit 29 I think I'll just start going backwards . Oh , that's not too far away...

Wow, looks great! Can't wait to hear about your first catch with it.

Hawnjigs: My best to your daughter. It's a rough road but definitely worth it in the end. I've never had a more rewarding job. As far as who's my daddy...haha...he's a very intelligent man with great experience despite the cheesewedge he wears . Thanks for the welcome guys.

Sorry I'm late. I was working all weekend:drool:. Happy Birthday!! Got you a present...here... lol. You're still perpetually 35 to me:).

I'm with you Spike-A-Pike. If I ever caught either one, it would not be my usual catch and release. Too much damage is occuring on account of these fish. I don't know if anything is currently being done to stop it though.

And thanks for the welcome zbass.

Well, since I'm new to it I thought I would do my research before I just go run out and buy materials. Pouring soft baits and making in-line spinners seems interesting.

Don't really have a favorite bait at this point, I'll try just about anything.

I found this video very helpful, a great introduction to pouring plastics. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Hello, I am obviously a newb to tackleunderground. I must admit that I am following in my father's footsteps coming to this website. I am definitely interested in starting to tinker with making my own lures, but I have a lot to learn. A little background on me: I am a nurse originally from Wisconsin. I am now in Oklahoma (a huge difference in fishing availability). I have been fishing ever since I can remember. Always Daddy's little girl out on the banks fishin'. I recently got back into fishing after nursing school. It was the greatest stress relief after a year of torture a girl can get! I look forward to learning from the experienced pros I find here, and hope that I can contribute in the future. Thanks for allowing newbs like me to partake in the conversations.
