slabshad

In the days of designing, building, and testing our own baits here is a little food for thought; Wind quit blowing so hard today so I snuck out on the lake for couple hours fished the hot water outlet. It is a hell of a long cast from the restriction fence to the gates, so I need some weight besides the slab-n-shad I tried an old perch pattern Heddon Sonar and a 1 3/4 ounce 4 inch lipless cranker that I made several years ago. Well I lost both of these plus one other Sonar in the bottom rocks but before I did I caught 2 Hybrid Stripers 4lb and 3lb two 16 inch largemouth and about 35 nice white bass. Kept 6 Whites for supper Man they were tasty. moral is Don't forget about some of that old stuff in the bottom of your tacklebox. It still works good.

Chirmy as a plastic builder have you looked at the new storm shad in a blugtill pattern has flat bottom weight and hook molded inside front bottom and two small fins to help hold it up right when hitting the bottom with the hook out the back of the lure, Looks like you could come up with one of these type baits. When you do let me know, I want some.

Hi folks, after a bunch of trial and error and some help from Jerry I finally got loged on here couldn't get name or password right at the same time I guess but the board Guru got me straigthtned out. I have not been busy building lures or equipment but fishin season has about got me down, and have been B S ing some on Texas Fishing Forum, some tacklemaking guys are over there too. May have to sell more slabs though had to buy a new starting motor battery and two deep cycle batteries for the old boat today looks like I may be going on a diet to offset that. Well glad to finally be on here with this bunch catch youall later

Holly Cowchip Ratman, I guess I had better scrap my new bait idea the guitar worm. Doggone guys after a couple of weeks I finally got registered on this thing as usual musta been doin something wrong.
