[video=youtube] Saw it this evening.  Well acted.  It's one of the best movie 'westerns' that I've seen in quite a while.  I highly recommend it if you like suspense and horror too.

Tied this one up this evening on a 'Lead Free Jigs' Custom Hooksup Jig.  It's a natural for this design.  This jig should slide along gravel bottoms like a 'sled'.  Its head shape is perfect for Tulip paint eyes.  Can't wait to fish it next year. :)  Materials: Milani Nail Lacquer #35...

Ever tie onto an old lure?  My Dad did, quite frequently, whenever he wanted to replace a skirt or tail that wasn't readily available.  I have a small collection of spinners and spinnerbaits that he modified. Thought I'd carry this forward by updating an old no-name bass popper that was laying...

Unusual-looking (to my eyes) and beautiful vintage vise. Seller requires its identification. Has a wooden platform base. Posted @ Joe's Old Lures. Unknown Vintage Vise

I've inherited quite a collection of bonefish flies that include many Crazy Charlie and Gotcha patterns with some variations. I have several other patterns left to ID as well. Has anyone here fished those two particular patterns for crappie? They seem very similar to Crappie Candy. Most are...

Mitchell 300 Reel Casting Demo by Johnny Dieckman 1956. [video=youtube] His underhand cast is incredible.

This is the best demonstration of a 'double haul' cast that I've ever seen, personally, in a video. Yep, it's from 1956. :) [video=youtube]

Created a couple of jig trailers recently with the use of leather and craft foam. The design is simple. It's simply a square of pebble-grained leather with dog ears and a tongue for the hook bend. Craft foam is glued to the leather using E6000 adhesive. It's my hope that these jigs will...

[video=youtube] Not very instructional. However, it is simple, nostalgic, and a very cool part of fishing history in my opinion.

Seems like a good deal to me. However, I don't pour my own jigs. Price includes shipping in USA. Misc items FS - cleaning out the basement

Clearance priced @ $0.50 for a 9 x 12" swatch as of 6/13/15. Found it at Jo-Ann Fabrics near 86th and Ditch Rd in Indianapolis. Check your local Jo-Ann's store. You can always use one of their online coupons for a discount on regularly-priced fur too. Looks like I might try tying walleye...

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend that included fishing. I sure did. Went fishing with Brian Waldman of Big Indiana Bass on Saturday. Fought off the pleasure boaters to enjoy some pretty good fishing thanks to Brian's skill at operating his boat, analyzing his fish finder, and...

See what you think. FS- Abu 4600 c3 & jig mold

Over time, composite reel seats may degrade, resulting in a sticky, gummy mess. Rub the gum off with a soft cloth soaked with isopropyl alcohol (99%). I have a nice Tica popping rod that I'm prepping for use and now its reel seat is once again clean, shiny, smooth, and comfortable.

It's fun to mimic commercially-produced soft plastic baits like crayfish, tubes, and worms with fabric and, sometimes, silicone. Here's one such bait, a bass tube, that I designed and tied the other night. Materials: Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Worm Hook L3001GK-2/0 - black pearl...

One of Keanu Reeves best movies, ever, in my opinion. If you like shoot-em-up action movies and can tolerate a little gore, then this ones for you. Me and the Missus saw it last nite and both of us enjoyed it. Get a chance, see it. Whoa... ;) :)

Watched this video over at the Homemade Lure Blog and thought it was pretty cool. See what you think. [video=youtube]

Painted and tied several "pepper"-headed jigs last weekend. Fine black glitter mixed with a clear powder coat works well for a "black spot" effect. Fish likely won't care, but I think that it looks interesting. It's simple and fun to do. All jigs weigh 1/8 of an ounce and have #2 bronze...
