Here is a nice fishing video that also presents quite a bit of life history information on the white bass, Morone chrysops. Included is a plug for JigCraft.com. :icon14: [video=youtube] Oh, and there's a little bit of jig info too. My friend Brian surprised me by using a jig that I tie and...

Tuesday Morning has Aleene's 2-Part Epoxy in .743-ounce (22 ml) syringes for $1.49 available at my local West Indy store. Might check a store near you if interested. This is a very good price for epoxy that isn't way too old imo. :cool:

This one might be a steal depending on the condition of its jaws. http://www.joesoldlures.com/wwwboard/messages/751211.html

It is a bit different now using Windows 8.1. To me, it's somewhat like... losing a good friend in XP and learning to walk again. ;) Actually, it's not been too bad so far. Kinda fun to learn the newer ins and outs. Getting away from the 'Top Down' of XP and moving toward the object-oriented...

Good Stuff Here Recently bought a spool of Fireline Fused Crystal on sale for $8.55 with tax. My rebate will make its cost $4.55 total. Not bad at all for a 125-yd. spool of superline. :) :icon14: Hurry though if interested in line purchases. Promotions end relatively soon.

Tied this jig in the style of Jack Crawford jigs of yesteryear. Used grizzly and saddle hackles to add color to the tie. Craft fur and flashabou ends should provide the movement. The jig weighs 1/4 of an ounce and has a 1/0 red hook.

Tied this one to cast for muskies in my local reservoir. Total length is a shade over six inches. Based its name (Five-O-Diamonds) on my count of its red eyes and red beads. Counterpart, possibly, to a famous pike spoon. Materials: Northland Gum-Ball Jig (1/4-oz) with 1/0 red hook Harbor...

Indiana's new state bird...

I think that this is a very interesting article pertaining to the state of tournament bass fishing and its allied industries and activities in Indiana. BTW, my opinions are neutral toward bass tournament angling. The End Is Near How is it doing in your state?

This is another one of my whims. I like its looks, but fishing it will reveal its worth. Unsure if it will move with its hook point downward on steady retrieve. Field testing will tell. Materials: Northland Lofty Chenille - honey color pattern Coats & Clark Trilobal Polyester Thread...

Development mode shifted into high gear today after what has been the coldest and snowiest winter I've had to endure in some time. Sat down at the vise and decided not to paint any jig heads. Rather, I wanted to design and tie a spinnerbait, namely a twin spin. Materials: Eagle Claw...

Thought about the best place to post this. Here's where it landed. ;) February 14-23. Indianapolis Boat, Sport, & Travel Show 2014 Plenty of vendor exhibits listed from A to Z. Maybe I'll see you there. :icon14:

What a pleasant surprise... Tweezerman round-tip tweezers for $1.99 and a 24 pack of extra fine (EF) glitter for $11.99 (+ tax). :) Tweezerman makes the very best tweezers in my opinion. You might appreciate them if you tie lots of hair jigs and like clean collars. They grab very fine...

A jig produced by Gapen's back in the 1970s. This is my version of the red-tailed chub. Its name is a bit of a misnomer, as it would appear that the red fur is attached to the collar (or throat) of the jig. To me, this wasn't exactly a fun tie. Wrapping and trimming folds of Mylar...
