I try to fish Fort Loudon lake at lest twice a week. So yep I love my Bass fishing. I am a traveling Network technician for a company called Wachter, out of Lowell AR. I also do custom web design and hosting on the side. I have been reading and reading the forum for the last few days and must say WOW the wealth of info here is astounding.

deadlystreamer Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Welcome Hwy-Apostle, Hope you enjoy the site, glad you found us. I'm sure we can help you along the way to lure making. It can become a bad habit; of course this kind of bad habit is acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A varitey of glitter and coloring plastic plastic additives. Your looking at some real money! I think painting would be cheaper a cheap air brush is 40- comperessor 50- a few paints and top coat may turn out cheaper. I have found in plastics there is always a color of coloring or glitter you dont have and it sucks because you have to order it you cant just go to the store and buy it like paint. And 300+ this year is nothing, I have spent more than that this month just ask CJ! Just wait till you get addicted Anyway good luck and be sure and post some pics once you get going.
