  1. FaberCastell FC101 Electric Commercial Stapler Very Good Condition Made by Isaberg AB in Sweden. Great for attaching Product Information Cards and Hangers to packaging bags. Brochures, it does binding stapling for brochures. Speeds up the process of packaging small items! Clamps to counter top and is operated by a foot pedal. Contact me if you need more pictures. 150 + Shipping OBO I accept Pay Pal.
  2. Too big for my needs. I fish a lot of small baits for panfish. 2" minnow baits, micro cranks, Old Harrison Hoge Rocky juniors, all small hook stuff. anything bigger I have stashes of hooks for. Thanks for looking Ted. I talk to a lot of Bass Clubs, I'll mention it to them if you want.
  3. These are a bunch of unpainted panfish jig heads. I was thinking vinegar , but now maybe 25% Vinegar 25% dawn and 50% water + some agitation. Maybe?
  4. I have the thin standard thickness triple grip on some Spence scouts and boy do they grab. I catch the stunners on them , you know the fish that head butt a lure. I bet I had 4 or 5 last year hooked on top of the head. I'd love to find them on #10 or #12 for tiny Rapalas and Pins Minnows.
  5. Hello folks, I haven't posted in years, but I still lurk occasionally. I have a question. I wanted to paint up some old panfish jig heads that I have but they are covered in oxidation. No longer shiny, just a dull gray with powder. Is the something I can dip them in to remove the oxidation. I've tried steel wool, but it doesn't clean tight to the back of the head. anyone have experience with this? Or do I just buy some new 1/16 and 1/32 oz heads? Thank you in advance for any feedback. Frank

    Z-ray Spoons

    Looking for some z-rays, Condition and size doesn't matter. Ha that's what we all say!! I have some original Bombers and other 80's lures to trade for them if you prefer. PM or frankatbassinusa.com. Figure it out.

    Lakeland

    Just curious if anybody deals with Lakeland. I've sent two questions to them through their website in the last couple of months and have never received a reply. Is this usual for them? I always get a call back or email from Worth when I ask about something.
  8. Good warning Tony, but its a bit late. If he's here asking questions he's hooked already!!!LOL
  9. Wow, what a thread, I learned more in this ten minutes than I did in hours with my spray booth! Dipping the bottom of the spinnerbait on the plate was awesome. I am a tapper because I can't figure out how to dip a spinnerbait without making a fluid bed thats 6 x 6". I tried running a glitter mix in a bed and then dipping my brush into the bed and that didn't go real well. So the DTT with glitter will be a time saver. I made a booth out of a plastic tote and put a computer fan on the bottom of the back wall with a piece of air conditioner filter in front of it. That pulled the really fine dust away from me. Before that I would blow my nose and the tissue would be the color I was using. I line the bottom with newsprint and can recover the paint that missed the plate that I tap over. I mounted a battery operated LED light set on the top of the inside the booth with double faced tape and can see better when I tap now. That helped when adding second colors tremendously. Prior to that I was always overapplying the second color. Thanks again Guys!
  10. There's a silver solder paste you can use. But doing it involves making a jig to hold the pieces together while you bake it at 450 degrees. Using acetylene or propane will take the temper out of the wire and the hook so fast its impossible to work with, as the soldering rods used for stainless are thicker than the material you are bonding. By the time the solder liquifies your hook and wire are beyond red. THe wrapping is the most practical solution. Tight wraps one way slightly wider spaced wraps back up. Any epoxy to clean it up or a piece of colored shrink wrap. JMHO based on experience
  11. Worth, Hagen's or Lakeland. They make just about everybody"s http://lurecomponents.worthco.com/digital-catalog http://www.hagensfish.com/ http://www.lakelandinc.com/ Good luck! and Happy Hunting!
  12. A million years ago, when I was playing with making my own soft plastics, I mixed some scuppernong jelly worms with some chartruese worms and made my own motor oil. The scuppernong worms were todays pumpkinseed color without the black flake. Maybe getting pumpkinseed colored skirts and putting chartruese dye on them would give you the color you want. or maybe leaving them in a plastic bag with chartruese soft plastics so the chartruese bleeds into the silicone might work too.
  13. Forgive my 2 cents, but I'll donate anyway. In the 70's we had to tune a bait. Every bait. Bend the nose line tie to the side that is runniing deeper. Just a touch at a time until its running reasonably true. For fishing , you want that bait to vary a bit on the retrieve. Its called hunting. runs a little left and then a little right of center, but the majority of the time the line is fairly true. Thats why some anglers hunt the older baits down. Now with precision manufacturing everything runs in a straight line and thats all the fish see. I would tune the bait and be really happy that it ran a little off at times. JMHO
  14. I've mixed it with epoxies and added some weight to spoons and spinnerbaits with decent results. I have't used it in lead . I make everything from brass.
