I don't know what model xlt plus you have but he's got schematics for several. And they have the spool assembly for an 85 it's about 38 bucks...expensive. http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/schematics/albums/ambassadeur/Ambassadeur_XLT_PLUS_85_0.pdf http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=975378&sort=5a

You might want to give Mikes Reel Repair a shot, just do a search. He's got the most complete reel and trolling motor schematic database I've ever seen.

Very cool!

I've been looking for them for a while myself. If you go here http://www.gamakatsu.com/gama0708.pdf to pg 23 of the catalog you'll see they come in bronze and red. I've got some of the VMC's but they're just not as sharp and forget buying the luckycraft hooks...sky high. Gamakatsu is also making this in a #3 size too. Here's a better

I know Gammy is coming out with these (#5 round bend treble hooks), anybody seem them or know where I can score some? TIA
-
I've thought of doing this myself, but what material would you start with to make a wire treble. What kind of wire and how would you temper it? BTW Bassomatic, have you caught anything on those Misfits lures...haha

That is a sweet looking crank. Great job on the color. -
That would be a smallie killer!

Thanks DP, I will keep that in mind. I appreciate your genorosity.

Thanks fellas, I sent him an email yesterday... I'll PM him I know some people dont check email often. Thanks again.
-
Thanks Todd, but Netcrafts are the thick ones also. I need the thin SS ones....anybody?
-
Hey sorry for posting on this topic again but my searches have been fruitless. I'm looking for some real chatterbait blades, you know the thin ones made of stainless. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. I need about a hundred for myself, not making any to sell. TIA

I knew somebody on here would have the answer. Thanks

I bought one of those new DO-IT poison tail molds and my jigs keep sticking to the mold. They stick so badly that I have to pull hard and it ends up bending the jig. Is there something I could spray on the mold to make it easier to get the jig out? Thanks

Anybody go to the bass and saltwater expo in Raleigh?

I looked at those, they were some nice rods. Spo, you been fishing Harris in any of this nice weather? They're probably spawning -
I went and got to meet one of the legends of crankbait makers, Jerry Lohr. He was a nice guy and very knowledgeable. I was more excited about meeting him than Gerald Swindle who was also there. I bought two lures off him (some big Jerrys, dives to 19ft) good looking baits. Anybody else go?

Chip, I really enjoyed your story on ice fishing. I guess sitting in a tent on ice isnt that bad after all. I think I'll stay down here in NC where the water stays thawed year round....

If you're going to refinish the lure you could microwave it for a couple of seconds, this would melt the hot glue and you should be able to wiggle the lip out. I had a couple of poes I did this to. I'm not sure if it would cause a problem with the lead though, it didnt seem to bother the poes. Good luck and be SAFE, if you do microwave it dont stand directly in front of the microwave it could explode if there's a lot of moisture in it.

Hey Lincoya, I could've used your help a couple months ago on Watts Bar and Douglas...where were you?

I'm glad to hear that you can use copper. Bending that brass is a little tough. Copper it is! Thanks fellas.
-
Has anyone tried the Castaway launcher? Small diameter rod with good backbone and a soft tip.
-
Overkill, I dont know if I would go with copper. It's kinda soft and you may have to use a large gauge to get the rigidity you want. I'm experimenting with brass right now. You could always try making some copper loops and hang some weights on them and see what it takes to make them lose their shape. If it's strong enough use it, let me know what you find out.

Sporoller, stop giving away all the secrets, I'll never be able to get me a custom rod from Bill
