I make baits to help me catch more fish and keep my retired a@# busy in the winter so i can fish in the summer,and i carve other things too so that helps,pay some bills(not many and small ones at that)I try something that might work and most dont so i try again and again,to make a bait that might do well in the market would be ok too but that also might take the fun out of it also as it then becomes WORK....not that i'm lazy im not just dont want to work for anyone else anymore jmo
