When you go to work in the morning with no sleep cuz you were on the computer all night trying to find a "magic green box" you saw in a youtube video that carves crankbait bodies! (I have done this several times)

Hey guys, here is the deal on the bagleys stuff: the baits in the orange and white packaging is from the mid 80s. these baits were not through wire construction, they had an stainless steel eye screw in the tail like the ones you guys cut in half. the best bagley baits were pre 1980. these had all brass wire, through bait construction which was 3 brass wires glued in the center with fiberglass resin, and the lead in the lip. I have cut one of these baits in half, and thats how i build my balsa b copies. these bagley baits from the 70s clearly run better, have better action, and catch more fish than the newer (1980-94) baits. I collect these baits, and have fished with them all my life. I started building baits to copy these so i didnt destroy my originals. The guy from japan who won the classic? was throwing a 1970s era BB2 with brass hardware, in color AG9 (red eyes), or LG9 (same color, yellow eyes) its called lime green on chartreuce. Dion Hibdon personally told me this guy (from japan) claims he has 2000 of these balsa bs from the 1970s. The rattle trap bagley? was called a balsa shiner. Made from balsa with no rattles. The early ones were brass wire (70s), and the later ones were eye screws (80s) If you guys have any questions about ANY of the bagley stuff let me know.

Is there any updated info on the home built copy carver machine in the utube video? what are the problems this machine has? and why wouldnt a 7 1/4 inch blade skillsaw work? possibly with a smaller, like 6 1/2 inch blade. It would not bog down at the tail of the bait like the grinder!

The wire works good too. but i really dont think the fish are going to decide not to eat a jig because it has a ziptie, and looks bulky. the ziptie is a lot faster, and you can replace a skirt wherever you are.

YES!! go to The Home Repot, and in the electrical department they have white, and black zip ties bout 4 inches long. I have been doing this on all of my jigs & spinnerbaits for years. (it works great for holding on add-a-rattles too!) use the factory collar on your skirts, just add a zip tie!

american weigh scales inc. sells a digital scale that is accurate to .001 oz. sells for 37.00 you would not believe how handy it is! I dont know how i lived without it!

i have been searching for a machine to turn baits for a long time. after i watched this video for the 237th time, i gotta have one. would someone please tell me where i can get plans to build one?
