  1. I saw some weagles on ebay, pretty expensive; they are new to me...what makes them so special?
  2. What do you clean your brushes with?
  3. This is a question, not a comment since I have little experience with cranks...wouldn't a fluorocarbon (or a psuedo fluorocarbon like Berkley Vanish) work well cause it sinks? I tried some Berkely Vanish and it does sink...which isn't good for some applications but might allow a crank to go deeper. Just curious. Kevin
  4. Okay, the cloudiness is clearing up...so, it used to be true that you could make a patented lure for your own use if you didn't sell the lure...can you tell me when did the law change and why (thanks for your patience)? Kevin
  5. ccroom, do a TU Search or go through the previous posts on softbaits ...I believe most of these questions have been addressed; that's what I did and it was quick and informative! Kevin
  6. http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=14ewb3ap.b147fdut&Uy=nyvoby&Ux=1 I hope this works...I don't usually send stuff like this out, but thought it was important to present a different perspective than the networks were providing... Kevin
  7. just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't the one who said it was okay to make patented copies for personal use... what I was asking is how do we know that every time we make a lure (that isn't a direct copy of a lure that's well known and now off patent) we're not violating someone's patent? I mean, if we are trying to be creative, and make something new (which I don't really believe can happen, but for the sake of argument I'll agree with) how do we not know that we're infringing on a patent unknowingly? Finally, how did the myth that you can make stuff for your own use as long as you don't sell them get started? Thanks, Kevin
  8. Great posts! sure would like to have cross sections of Yo-zuri's...
  9. HEY! I represent that remark!
  10. Dave V...and anyone else new to pouring...check out the m-f manufacturing post...free pint of plastic to new customers! Just pay the shipping...Great deal!!!
  11. Called M-F and got my free plastic on its way!!! Thanks!!! Kevin
  12. Got 3 younguns 10, 6 and 4; we fish every Sunday; there first question on Monday is "Daddy where we going fishing this Sunday?" Their mother loves it, she gets the day off ! The most frustrating thing is, you're basically babysitting and you're not gonna get much fishing in yourself...on the other hand when they catch a fish, its a monumental event! On the other note, will a microwave melt down old plastics (never tried it myself)?
  13. I'd like to see some info on what's legal to make without violating a patent. I think that would be pertinant info since most of us that are making lures are never going to apply for a patent, yet don't want to get into hot water over making something that might be patented...
  14. Beautiful baits and great fish! Don't be too upset with your partner; its when you stop getting excited that you need to worry.... Kevin
  15. Musky fisherman sometimes use a heavy styrofoam cooler...stick the hook in the top and let the lure hang in the box. I use 5 gallon buckets and cut slots in the top (cause styrofoam don't last) for my saltwater lures on the pier...same principle though. If they're small lures use a "spinnerbait" box with slots, just hang the treble in the slot.
