    Careful JSC your dating yourself . LOL Guess me too . To bad all us geezers can't get together in one spot with all or tackle stuff in tow . Bet that would be the biggest blow out the tackle industry ever saw .

    Before I started tying just for fun I did 140,000 jigs total for a year . At one time I had 8 ladies tying . Their vises were purchased according to individual comfort . Some liked smooths straight handles . Some liked the ones with a knob on the handle . Clamp style or table top up to them . Most of the old model vises can be taken apart and the jaws resurfaced . New models aren't easy at all to do .

    There are not any toys left a kid can really play with . Everything that is fun had a certain amount of danger . Heck I burned a finger or two . Taught me not to do the same thing again . Now nothing much is fun . May be why there are so many couch crawlers laying around that never leave home till they are 35 .

    Caught a bunch of fish as a kid . Most of them were on creepy crawlers . With the new plastics they work even better . Dangle one on a line and cane pole in front of a big ole bull frog and he'll larup the thing up in a second . If I'd been just a tad smarter I might have made it big in tackle .

    My mom's prize rooster and creepy crawlers are what got me into this wacky world of tackle . Here for your pleasure is the way I make creepy crawlers now . I'm an old fart but still a kid at heart .

    Welcome . Maybe you will be able to apply some of that graphic knowledge and enlighten me . I need to expand my mind . Some say it is getting a little more narrow with age .

    My opinion is , if your not night fishing don't bother . Glow is not going to help in clear water and daylight . Deep low light conditions it might be an advantage . I fish a lot of daytime water the color of chocolate milk . The no. of fish caught on glow, uv, whatever was basically the same according to the laws of chance . Sometimes it's what you believe in or skill level that turns the table for you . Each to his own . Try glow . If you feel good about it go for it .

    Sam stay outta momma's kitchen how many times I got to warn you guys . I was cute when I was born but not so much now after the kitchen incident .

    You use what baits you want and that comes under loss strayed stolen or damaged product . Certainly hope the damage comes from fish .

    I have vises older than some of the folks on here . If you want to be frugal just get an old Thompson F or E vise . Hold anything ya want . Ya can pick them up for under 20 bucks shipped . I've got a new one on the shelf . After all this time I haven't worn out the other 2 .

    Looks similar to a leech mold but skinnier . That is a good bait simple and effective . I'm partial to those kind of baits .

    Got to go with Bears Real Craw . I fish it different than anybody else does .

    If you haven't had the shop long I'd get to know folks in other shops . Perhaps they might not mind discussing the colors and types of inventory . Everybody is always looking at things as a competition . IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. If the small business men of this country will wake up and band together for the common good of America we could all survive and thrive . Give it a shot . Might be able to get some group buys going and such . Together ya might just meet the need of all the customers .

    Sorry Pard I didn't mean that in a derogatory way . Was a good Idea I was just to dumb to recognize it .

    X2 Jacobs best crappie selection .

    Have you asked any mold makers if they have anything that you want in a hand pour . Sometimes they have things not listed . Every time I hear the word Dremel I almost go into spasms . I'm pretty sure someone has what you need . Chopping up a mold will cause the toad to croak . Gives me cold shivers even if it's not mine . Ok now I'll shut the heck up .

    The last one makes worm slip weights you can put skirts on or tie material to . Makes a good inline musky bait . Even a straight line buzz bait with a swivel hook or treble on it . The others have been used for bottom bouncers, lure bodies , ect. Pretty versatile bunch you got there.

    I was Playing around . You get to do that after you quit selling baits . Instead of doing the same run or group of runs every day . You can walk into your shop and say :Now lets see what do I want to do today : LOL
