  1. Wow, I had never considered adding scent to the zonkers! That’s an interesting ideas indeed! And cool that they still float despite the added scent. Sweet!
  2. Yup! Large and small... hard to pass up a tasty treat. Appreciate the kind words!
  3. Thanks again gentlemen! Really appreciate the kind words and feedback. Getting my YouTube feet wet has been quite the ride! Your support has been great. I just posted a new thread but wanted to drop a link here too. Its been about 6 weeks with 6 previous tying videos (and a fluid bed build) posted. Today was #8, and represents one of the more ambitious desings/patterns I tie (thus far anyway!). Its a 3/8oz Arky Style Trokar Picthing Hair Jig in a Crayfish pattern. Very unique and a lot of fun to pitch around docks and drag across points. Feel free to check it out! BTW, you can also find me on Facebook (page is the same name as the channel: SDG Custom LureCraft) should you want any more info or want to stay up to date with the latest SDG news. There's also a fish catch at the end of the video, so something else to look forward to :). Thanks again! Link:
  4. Hello again, its been a bit since I posted last - thanks for all the great comments/feedback/support as I launched a new lurecraft YouTube channel about 6 weeks ago (SDG Custom LureCraft). This forum, a couple Facebook groups, and a select few YouTube channels have been extremely helpful in my adventure. Wanted to share - I just dropped a video where I tie my most ambitious design to date: a 3/8oz Crayfish Hair Jig that looks more like a fly fishing pattern (and uses a lot of the same material) but is big/stout enough to throw on a baitcaster. If you choose to check it out, I hope you enjoy it and tie up one of your own! If you'd rather just buy one you can reply here or reach me via my Facebook page (same name as the channel) where you'll find a pinned post with pricing. Either way, I sincerely hope you enjoy video and give the jig a try! I'm proud of the design and excited to share it. (Oh and... you may even see a nice fish catch using this pattern, at the end :)). Thanks!! Link:
  5. Thanks!! I look forward to making many more! So many idea, so little time!
  6. Thanks Smalljaw! As I mentioned in my reply to your video comment, you've been a great inspiration! Thank you, sincerely, for all your great content and insight! You've been a blessing to me. Adam
  7. Thank you sir! Glad you were able to find me on Facebook too. Here's to many more to come!
  8. Hey guys, If you're interested in a new jig tying channel, I just dropped my first video today. I tie up a Brown-Copper Flash Hybrid-Z jig with rabbit zonker trailers. Check it, love your support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88zQezUmrfk
  9. Has anyone ever used a thin superglue (penetrates well) and accelerator to instantly cure the glue used to seal the thread? If so, did the accelerator leave a residue on the material (natural, silicon, or rubber)?
  10. Good idea. I have to remind myself that you can use deceptively little superglue to get the job done... eyes and weed guards!
  11. All good comments. Admittedly I was not using superglue to bond the eyes first as I was getting an white haze every time I used it (see my other recent thread about the issue, now resolved). I was hoping the “stock” adhesive combined with loon resin would do the trick, effectively: use the stock adhesive to hold them in place while I apply the resin, but the resin is really what keeps them on. On some, that’s been the case, but when running my finger over the head/eyes I can tell the coating it thicker around the eyes on those that seem to be holding up. Those that have failed not only failed at the eyes but even saw peeling in the whole head. Right or wrong, my logic of moving to UV Thick was to replicate a thick, epoxy/UV clear coat on a crank bait, applied after the eyes are glued in. That stuff is so thick you have to give it drip-time, but it seals everything well. If I can accomplish a similar effect with UV thick, and further improve the durability of the head, that’s a winner in my book (and maybe even worth the extra cheddar :). Thx again for the comments! Very helpful.
