  1. I also break it into steps. I'll cut 100 or so pieces of wire one night and bend they eye in it. Then I'll work at making 10 of the same lure at the same time. When u get concentrated I can crank them out about 1:30 to 2 minutes a piece.
  2. I'm sure you can call the IRS or someone of the sort and they can help guide you through it. Surely the gov't has something set up to help people get into business.
  3. Umm, I believe size 2 stirrup. For both 1/8th oz and 1/16 oz. I'll have to look to be certain though.
  4. Check out the lure dip on Netcraft. It's not very strong, but it looks good and it's cheap. Smells nasty though.
  5. I make a lot of inlines, and clevis size is defiantly important. If you go too small, the blade tends to get stuck, and if its too big it is more noticeable and harder for the blade to spin. I would also get stirrup clevis's over folded ones if I was you.
  6. I have some inline spinners and kastmaster like spoons left from last season, and I need to make room to get the new inventory. I normally sell these lures for $2 in stores, but I'm just selling them for $1.50 each here. Shipping will probably be between $2-$3. A list of lures is below. Send me a pm or email at elijahhenry10@gmail.com for pictures. 1/8th ounce 8 Rainbow Trout 9 Blue Shad 3 Chartreuse w/ chartreuse skirt 1 Chartreuse w/o skirt 6 Kastmaster style spoons ( I can put a strip of gold or purple Witchlite prism tape on them) 1/16th ounce 3 Firetiger 3 Brown Trout If someone wants to buy a large amount I can make a better deal. Thanks for looking, Elijah Henry
  7. Most blades are made of brass, and then nickel plated or left plain. You shouldn't have to worry about the blades rusting.
  8. Auto CAD is what my school has, and I know the most basic program of it is $1,500. I didn't know if there were other cheaper versions, or if that is pretty much as low as it goes. Maybe I'll try downloading that freecad and see what it's like. I can't imagine that it would even be comparable to Auto CAD, but it would give me something to play around on.
  9. What is the cheapest CAD software that can be bought.
  10. If you can design in CAD you have the hard part down (in my opinion). A CNC should be able to take care of the rest of the work. I'm sure there are easier ways, and I'm sure cadman will be more than willing to help you.
  11. Alright, thanks for the help everyone. I will probably just airbrush them, it seems easier than the work with powder painting. It's like someone said earlier, the blades not going to be taking hits on rocks enough to make it worth it. I'm just waiting for Jann's Netcraft to get their new inventory so I can put my order in.
  12. I think I use the wrong words when I said base coat. I want the bottom color to show up, I just want to be able to spray stripes or dots over it. I hope you understand what I mean. I saw a YouTube video where someone just held a jig head in front of a propane torch, dipped it into the powder, and then let it dry. He said that it was done then. I didn't know if you could do this with spinner blades/bodies too, or if you can't even get the paint to stick on doing only what he did. On another note, what kind of paint would you recommend for airbrushing?
  13. I was thinking about using powder paint as a base coat on spinner blades/ bodies, and I was wondering if anyone had some advice. I just want to put on a base coat thy I will be able to airbrush over. I saw someone that would just heat up the item to be painted, and then dip them into the paint. Has anyone done this, and if so how did it work? Thanks
  14. No, I'm further east. I am right in between Somerset and Johnstown
  15. Alright, thank you everyone for all of the great advice.
