Another option, you could carve your own There is a wealth of knowledge and an army of experience on this site to assist you with this option Many here build from scratch for their own reasons even though blanks are readily available to many of them... But if they are difficult to acquire, that's all the more reason!

I rarely (or should I say never) ask advice on catching fish... I'm a bit stubborn and set in my ways when it comes to fishing, if I try something new, it has to be because I thought of it But... I'm a bit out of my element this year with all the crazy weather we've had here in north Texas I have a small boat, so I fish small public lakes (20-40 acres)... Well... They WERE small, but now stretch beyond the parking areas and well back into the woods! I have a good friend coming down for vacation next weekend.. 2 years ago I introduced him to the world of fishing, now he is as hooked as I am!.. He still relies on my advice to better his fishing success, so the pressure is on me to find fish when he arrives! Has any one found success fishing flooded lakes?... If so, do you focus your time on your normally productive spots? Fish deeper? Slower? Run n gun? Or explore the new territory created by high waters? The spot I have in mind, water clarity is still "fair", slightly murky, but not a "mud hole", no fish carcasses along the shoreline (Unlike my old spot when it flooded), so I assume oxygen levels and temp are on par.... Fish are there, but now seem to have the odds in their favor! A bad day of fishing beats a good day of work... A 4 DAY WEEKEND of fishing beats about anything!!!.... But would be nice to get a little slime on our hands!

They sure like those "plastic sticks" for some reason That's one beautiful Smallie!!!!

Really??... Hmmm... I have a clever idea for a popper I plan on starting after I finish my 1st crank bait... If it works, I may send you one to use.. You could make me famous (ha ha!)?!?!

Bob, we all tell our wives that we save money by building our own baits instead of buying them........ But we all know the truth...

Id say thats a no go... Seemed like the cotton absorbed all the glue off the plastic before it set... Heres another idea, expose your fabric to the hot plastic before it cools, hot plastic sticks to everything (especially bare hands, in know!)... Maybe if u use a material similar to burlap, you could get the plastic "interwoven" (if thats a word) into your fabric

I have some old flat sided jerk baits i made that i didnt like... Ill glue one to an old t-shirt and post results once it dries

This is interesting... TU "Halloween edition"... Should b fun! -For your glue, Spike-It makes a glue called bond coat, made for adhearing plastic to materials that are not plastic (lead, hooks ect.)... Idk about fabric, but i have some and i could try before u buy -firmness can be adjusted with hardener -fumes = bad!... But if you are outdoors you should be fine -Cheap silicon? Let me know if u find that!

Is there a way around the joom link?.... Maybe someone who has the PDF could email it to the mobile users?

X2.... I already subscribed, but can not view

Sometimes!... But other times, theres a reason nobody has it!

Should b able to go to "more reply options" and post a pic I cant give you a good answer since ive never built a wake bait, but i read your other thread, sounds like you put ALOT of work into this guy! We'd love to see it!.... And might i suggest building a quick copy to test any changes before hacking away at your piece of art...?

I can agree... If i could buy it from the store, why put all of the time and effort into making it Id much rather be fishing a bait that NOBODY else has anyway!

Bob... ALL your cranks look better than commercial!!!...... You dont make soft baits?

U got a link to one of those videos??... Interesting to me

My wife makes wonderful enchiladas, so wonderful in fact that i belive people are foolish for eating any other kind of enchilada....... But since we dont own a restaurant, i think no less of those people
