flyguys

Figured i would ask here i always just turn my lures by hand as i usually only make a couple but now some buddies want some and they are gonna give me some money woohoo but anyways i have no mechanical skill whatsoever is there anyplace to buy a drying wheel or if i have to build one is there a step by step anywhere. Once again i am not mechanically inclined so i plead with you help please lol

i am a fly tyer so i will make this short and sweet. If you are just going to tie a few trebles just get a cheap AA vice Thompson makes a decent one. go to the fly shop bobbin wise i would buy a ceramic one as the metal ones have a tendancy to cut the thread. Now for thread that a tough question all people have their favorite and me too But i reccomend dansville or unithread. And feathers i like to use strung marabou for this application vs neck hackle marabou has a lot more action. There is a great guy on ebay (stores.ebay.com/miamivalleytackle) ( no affiliaton) where i get my stuff. The good thing about making your own dressed trebles is being able to make it in whatever color and length you want. You might also look into getting some Krystal Flash to throw in there make it real lively.

So taking a trip to Lake eerie with some friends and know thats Janns Netcraft is over that way and was gonna stop does anyone know if they have a physical shop you can go into or is it all distibution.

So till playing with the new iawata. Still letting out a little more paint then i would like but poted a couple pics in the gallery ways to improve on these. Maybe a way to use the brush in a way i couldnt with my old one because i havent seen how this brush is so much better. But it may be my limited painting skills

o i listed that i lost my set scre for my paasche. Weel this was the perfect excuse for my wife to let me get an iwata. So went to the store today and bought it. I am happy with the smoothness but i have to say I have been using a single action till now and having a real hard time controlling paint flow. I keep pulling it all the way back and spray way to much is there a way to change how much come out at the whole way back position or am i just gonna have to learn this now lol. Cant teach an old dog new tricks i guess cause i look like a newbie with this brush lol.

this is a very small round screw only about 4 threads and take allen wrench and i have orders to fill cant wait on shipping. Do hardware store sell these mall screws

so was cleaning my tips on my paasche airbrush and lost my set screw any one have any ideas how to hold my needle in cone in place now

i gues i hould clarify i still use a bruh in hard to reach areas but the main body i use my finger it seems to give a nice smooth finish.

Just curious, I have been finger brushing my epoxy on the lure and it is going on quite even i ued to ue a brush but after a few uses it was hard and tiff and would have to throw it away anybody else got any ways they apply it

If the glitter is the problem that is an easy fix i dont even use gliiter that much. Instead Createx sells some pearlized colors that has parkle already mixed in just thin it and shoot it easy as pie if you take a look at some of my galley photos that is the pearlized paint at work no glitter.

i am a big fan of manns baby series here i a link to the lemon shad color pattern for you for reference http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpageMANNCRANK-MB1.html#multiview

I bought some materials from that guy i was talking about and they arrived today. I ordered some strung marabou, neck hackle, and some deer body hair. So here is the review As far as i can tell he is a shop just starting on ebay someone mentioned the 96% feedback something about listing confusions saw on his feedback report. The materials all looked fresh from wapsi not a repackage or something that has been sitting on a shelf for years. The deer hair spun real nice and no bugs. And the price was great about 30% lower than the closest shop to me (1 hour away) . Also their shipping was a max of 6.00 so i bought like 50.00 worth of stuff but only had to pay 6.00 shipping that was nice. Overall I was quite happy with the deal figured id post a review for guys. that direct link was www.stores.ebay.com/miamivalleytackle The only reaon im going to buy from this retailer is i havent really seen a sponsor on this site that carries a good selection of flytying materials it mainly focuses on the luremaker which is cool to but some of us can never give up our tying or fishing. Im not sure which one is more addicting. Hope you enjoyed and tightlines everyone.

I think i am a member of every fly tying and fishing forum out there and also swap moderator on flytyingforum.com I have been a commercial fly-tier for 15 years but am retiring from Air Force back to my hometown in Springfield Ohio so Crankbaits and worms for bass is about the best fishing around here and i hate buying lure that dont swim right or paint is junk so I figured id learn to make my own. I want to do plastics too but figured i would master one at a time lol

I painted another crank baed off all the advice i got from this site any more tips for me heres the link to the pic http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/7321-2nd-paint-job-following-your-guys-advice-anything-else-i-should-do/

It depend on alot where you buy your blanks and which kind. Alot of companies offer some good ones and ome bad ones. Personally i only buy from stamina and Predatorbass(sponsor of this site). Lately though Predatorbassbaits.com i the only place i will buy from the quality is perfect and swim true. I hope this help you and welcome to TU

Luremaking.com they carry everything i also like the stealth look of the black they are the cheapet i have found

This is my first try at airbruhing a crank. I have no experience in airbrushing o dont go to rough on me. Im looking for tips way to make deigns better any help would be aprreciated. I have to pot a link to photo gallery bc every pic i try to load to post says they are to large. Heres the link http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/7305-first-paintjob/

I buy my eyes from luremaking.com. They are canadian so the price looks high but are lower than they appear. They have 3d molded eye in every color, size you could want. They have prism, cat eyes anything and if they dont have it they will get it for you. Hope this helps
