  1. So, is he sending your lure back, or is he fishing with it?
  2. If I'm tournament fishing, usually 8 to 10. 6'6" shallow cranks 7'6" deep cranks 6'9" spinnerbait 6'9" chatter bait 7' Shakey Head 7' jig 7' spinning, whacky worm 7'6" c-rig 7'3" alabama/heavy jig Usually only 3 or so if just out for fun.
  3. I agree....."Super", "Premium", "Top" is probably like IM ratings on rods, it's only relevant to their own line of products.
  4. rhahn427, Mudhole catalog pg 121 "Super Grade Cork pistol grip" $13.50 buy all you want!
  5. Actually if it's cork to rubber I would slice it off with a razor and glue it back on after reaming it.
  6. Is it a pistol grip? That's the only butt that I've seen that was closed on the end.
  7. A member of our bass club won a rod that I built in a giveaway that we do each year. It was a 7'3" MHX heavy that was micro/spiral wrapped. Yesterday he brought me two NEW Duckett Micro Magic rods and a Cabela's Prodigy the he wants to be converted to spiral wraps. Everyone will argue their point until they're blue in the face. Both sides argue convincingly. You just need to decide if you like it or not. I have personal rods that I WON'T convert......just because i don't want to!
  8. I would go in with someone if they want to get Cadman to cut some. The ones I'm looking for are the coffin shaped ones that are about 5/8" wide at the widest point and 3/4" long X .015 thick. Cadman, can you put the holes in them? It would be hard for me to drill that many holes with any consistency. Can you PM me a price on say 400 just to get an idea of the costs?
  9. I know how you feel having perfectly good grips and seats and not being able to make use of them, believe me, I've been there. I've never tried the heat gun so I'd say give it a try. I'm not sure what it will do to the cork. If you can just get the glue to loosen a bit, it should come off. I would start with the fore grip and then the seat. Let me know how it works.
  10. I've heard you could boil the grip to soften the glue....I've never had any luck with it though. The rod bond really adheres to the cork so probably no way to get it off in one piece. The only pistol grips I've seen are top grade cork and run $13.50. I'd pay that before going through the pain of trying to remove one.
  11. Every rod I've built has been micro/spiral wrapped and I've taken several of my older rods and converted them to micro/ spiral wraps. Also you can't use less guides just because they're on the bottom. You want your line to follow the contour of the rod as closely as possible or you defeating the purpose of the action of the blank. Some people like them, some don't. You do have to use a good line though, one with as little memory as possible.
  12. Show-off..........LOL just kidding. Nice bait by the way!
  13. Wow, this is sad. I have spent 15 years in a boys ministry called the Royal Rangers but have been out of it for about 6 yrs now. Youthinthewild is only 15 minutes away and as I was reading the posts I was getting excited about getting involved with his program. I'm really disappointed he didn't come through. Our bass club takes Brownies/Girl scouts fishing every year and it's a blast to see them catch their first fish.
  14. Hey Frank, awesome videos. I had considered the twinjector and I think you've sold me on it. I was thinking the blending block was much larger than it is. I didn't want something awkward. You made some great baits......you have a pm.
  15. Jigman, those tubes look great. The small nozzles are not on their site so I assume they no longer offer them. Thanks for the reply.
  16. Bassinfool, looking at this picture of the block, the two holes where the plastic comes out looks like it's on the side of the block or are the seven holes on the side? It's confusing....I guess the injector holes are not shown and are on the opposite side of the dual exit holes. Where does the 1.5" measure? Height or thickness? Jigman....do you use the small blending adapter for all your 2 color baits or do you have the blending block also? Do you find it hard to use the small nozzles? Sorry for all the questions just trying not to buy something I won't like. Sounds like the 1.5" block is the way I should go.
  17. Thanks Bassinfool, I kinda figured it was no longer available. Those are good looking baits. Is that the 702 craw? I really like the key lime, I've caught a lot of fish on the Zoom Key Lime fry. Do you have the 1.5" block or did you get the twin system? The 1.5" block looks like the plastic comes out of the side of the block.
  18. I was watching a you tube video from whopperbaits on 2 color baits. Does anyone know who's injectors and adapter he's using? Not the block, but the small adapter and injectors that have offset nozzles. I've been to all the mold sites but can't seem to find it. Is it obsolete now? Maybe the block is better....any one have experience with both? Thanks for your help.
