now thats a fish

Surprisingly, a search for “Jackwagon” only came up with your post. Dude…your awesome!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhlWddAXSRA

Kinda late on this one....Moore's Lures sells them. Not sure where he gets his or maybe he pours them?? They're very helpful when it comes to questions! I've been real curious about coming up with a similar design. If not, good luck w/ the BuzzBait mold. Nice 47", Paintsniffer.....post some pics! "MUSKY-HOUN We have re-introduced the Musky-Houn. This was the original weight forward muskie bucktail. The original Musky-Houn produced 33 TOP 10 fish in the old "Field & Stream" contest from 1935-1961. Front keel weight, real bucktail on a keel-weighted 5/0 treble with an attached 2/0 trailer treble hook." Eric

The folks at http://www.mooreslures.com/ are excellent to work with. Hagen's Fishing Tackle | Lure Manufacturer, is real affordable, in bulk. It may depend on your fishing applications...I tend to build the big boys for Musky and Stripers Eric

"and a no-name automotive urethane clearcoat" Not sure what that means????but man that finish is DEEP!! I agree w/ KC...prob. look better on the end of my line too! Eric

Smalljaw, Ahhh....good point, didn't think about that. By the way, your metallic spinnerbaits look awesome. Few questions, if you don't mind, where can a guy pick up some of that sili-flash material and did you use a base coat before the metallic powder? Thanks Eric

I haven't found D2T at the ACE's by me.....True Value has D2T. Tractor Supply has a product by Permetex Permatex

Diemai, Awesome stuff you got going on...I like the idea of possibly using only one split ring to join the segments. Perhaps you could try a Colorado style blade at the last segment

A Chemist for a friend.....hmmm....that could be fun Thanks ahead for any updates on the Super Clear Powder

Hey Captain, Are you referring to the

Sounds like an episode of the X-Files. > > > Sorry couldn

Hey TJ, thanks for the info....I guess it's pretty stretchy stuff. Where did you end up purchasing the parachute cord? Thanks, Eric

I got a little too excited there and pulled the trigger before thinking:roll:....My initial thought was to reverse it, to get a fuller body, like on a spinnerbait! Oops...that won't work, I think:sauced: Anyways....great idea!

Very helpful information to hang on to! Thanks, Eric "Marine epoxy" better be water proof !!!

For a top coat?? I believe it doesn't cure 100% clear. I've stayed away from it. Eric

Bladebait, Nice pick up on the hollow metal beads!....never used them myself. But, if I ever use them, I'll look out for the burs. That would most certainly screw up any spinner bait, no matter the angle of the frame wire or the size/style, placement of the blade. Eric

That's BIG TIME! Congrats...may need to lose the "the Rookie" name. Eric

Don't sweat it....I'm on a computer all day and still find ways to jack things up not even trying! I typically cut and paste the "http://" for the link...usually works most of the time. Good tip about the blades...reminds me of perhaps a buzz bait w/ a clacker. Elken, thanks for the link...the visual is what i was mostly after...still think it's a cool idea, but some room for improvement (on bending the wire). looks too time consuming, I think JSC has it going on...typical SB frame, just add beads and sleeves...very nice! Sorry to jump off track w/ the thread....but to understand SB's, just tub test them. You can see everything spin, rotate. After tub testing mine, (blades worked fine) I realized my hook was running way too deep (was attempting SB's w/ trebles). Thanks, Eric

Hey George, You mind posting a link (or PM me) on the info for gargoyle spinners. Can't seem to find it?? Thanks, Eric

Mr. Ted, Thanks for sharing the pic and ideas! I think one of the hardest things to accomplish would be to keep the top wire in the same plane (I guess it doesn

Cadman, That's interesting....never thought of doing that. Do you mind sending me a pic? Thanks, Eric
