  1. Example: Walleye can get almost WHITE if the bottom is sand..
  2. This link seems to be the correct one.. http://wapsifly.com/
  3. So cork / foam out of wine bottles is different ??
  4. So far i am looking to get wire from http://www.mcmaster.com/#stainless-steel-wire/=cpthes And Ma Kettle gets her bling from http://www.bolekscrafts.com/
  5. Well I am going to be doing it basicly to enjoy it.. I used to build models as a kid, and then went to building renovations.. Besides lures and more I am going to make wood items and welding items like smokers.. I am planning to donate fishing items to what I believe to be hero's, doctors, nurses, teachers, military, and kids that can show they are not scumbags.. I wish to stay with my favorite fish, Northern, Crappy, Walleye, Trout, Salmon.. As far as materials, Bear (Ole Lady) does bead stuff (And so much more) and has THOUSANDS of all kinds of beads, I bought a air brush, have a couple thousand jigs painted, and made a bobbin to tie.. I have also about every wood machine to make about anything but need to get someone that can help BUT are having a hard HARD time to find anyone wanting to really work instead of talking about it.. It does suck to be in a chair most of the time tho and the other time in bed doing therapy.. I'm thinking to start with making some lures out of the couple of thousand wine corks and turn them into frogs, mice, poppers, etc.. Where do I start besides just get home from shopping and got a fishing paper in the process.. Thanks to all for info as I ask for help as I have info overload and do NOT wish to order blades, wire, etc, etc, etc and find I went the wrong direction..
  6. Please make believe you are me.. What would you order to get started ?? I do have many different sizes of Jigs that I can use to invent fish takers.. I am now disabled and wish to make through wire lures, spinners, and order split rings, blades, Hooks, Wire, Etc to save on funds and have something to do.. I wish to use only stainless steel wire and the questions I have to start with are; 1. What should I order and from whom ?? I have some catalogs and have the net.. 2. I have prices from McMaster-Carr so far but do not know if I should just get wire from one source to save on total bill.. I am thinking to get ¼ lb so I can save and not have to worry of running low, or should I just get 30 feet of.. 3. What size do I order for what I wish to do ?? 4. Should I order different size wire or can one size do it all ?? 5. Can I bend my own split rings and have them be reliable ?? 6. What sized treble hooks should be correct for a 3” / 4” / 5” lure ?? 7. Should I order a wire former or build one ?? A. If I order one what is the one too get considering I am poor now ?? Thank you "VERY" much for your time, interest, and consideration.
  7. So we can advertise as selling in our yard sale ?? What happens if some of us don't have yards ?? I have two feet tho.. Oh never mind.. I will never be going to Vegas I am guessing..
  8. If I could please hijack the thread for a moment is to suggest a book that can be cross referenced for lure making and fishing is Murphy's Laws of Fishing.. When all else fails it is nice to be able get a giggle.. Matter of fact i believe there should be an area devoted to the giggles of the things we do..
  9. So if someone sells out there personal fishing stuff at there garage sale, they should be liable ??
  10. Well I have catalogs from barlows, do it, tackle craft, lure parts online, janns netcraft, but also have the internet.. I think I am on info overload to some degree, but also can't be at puter for a long period of time and thought to ask for some help to get this hobby going.. Pain is always with me and hard to keep things straight in head..

  12. Considering I consider myself an inventor http://dictionary.re...browse/Inventor It is hard to believe for me to believe anyone can think they can steal, and it is fine and dandy all because others do it, even if it a small item that is NOT important to the masses that believe it to be sane all because it is easily duplicated.. Even if it is a light bulb, the person that INVENTED it is going to consider it stealing, As soon as a price tag is put on it..

    Good or Bad Idea ??

    [size="4"][b]Some members may know I have some lead head jigs of many styles and sizes that I am selling some plain ones on craigs.. ( Over 1,000 ) The idea I have is to donate to Teachers and considering we are so VERY close to a HUGE military base is to also donate to them to show we care about there service.. The problem I have that may NOT be a problem is I think it would be nice to also provide an attachment to the hook.. Considering we are very poor ourselves, I just thought to ask if anyone can donate something, "anything" they can send me so I can make it a nicer donation to these as I believe patriots, or am I NOT RIGHT with this idea ?? Any input is welcome..[/b][/size]
