  6. sorry for delay , anticipation huh ? The winner . .. . . .. Totaled just over 2,300 I never thought it was so many , either means I am lazy and need to get to work , or to stop buying stuff .
  7. I did an inventory today gearing up for the April lure show in Florida to see what I had and what I want to make for the show . I have alot of work ahead of me . Its going to be an awesome show !!! Can anyone guess roughly how many lure bodies are shown ? I was suprised . I did a rough count as most of the bags are labeled as to how many are in their . Its kinda like guessing how many jelly beans are in the jar .
  8. They make treble hooks also the you can slip on , the big thing they are used on is those blade baits , like sonars and silver minnows

    Staminia

    I place 100-800 dollar orders from them quite frequently from stamina , the last one for 800 dollars I got some of the stuff in a week , and the order was all sent in i think 4 shipments spanning 3-4 months , they just have the big hardware that no one else does . I guess depending on stamina you have pre think what you need a few months in advance
  10. and also remember if theres any moisture in the createx the clear coat will be unhappy with you .
  11. My store disapeared one day , which didnt bother me . I have sold hundreds and hundreds easily of lures and never had any sold from my store all were from the auction format .
  12. Theres some stuff called foto frisk or something that had less adheasion , but its also very thin . Createx says to use a heat gun to dry the colors before the next coat , but dont get it to hot it wil boil . . You can watch the water evaporate out of it , its fun
  13. I have never tried it before , Havent heard it mentioned either . Give it a try and let us know how it does . If you have searched the subjects on the board you have seen this is a great debate on clear coats . E-tex , devcon and flex coat seem to always have their loyal , dedicated , and well quite aggressive opionated users . Give the perfect finish a test and let us know . Clear coat is all personal opion and every body has there favorite !!!
  14. Joe brought up a good point with the flamable paints and chooseing the correct fan . Motors are rated for such , an attic fan like i use is an open motor and shouldnt be used with flamables .
  15. cool . thanks you all , it is really a fun thing for the kids . Plus a barrell full of hard baits isnt as fun with all the treble hooks . Trust me I hook myself alot .
  16. I havent tried a range hood before but i know they arent very powerful . I am useing an attic exhaust fan tight now and it works great . It was like 40 bucks at home depot .
  17. These are some of the fish found on the beach after the tsunami . I am making some out of wood , their odd and so am I , I like them , dont much want to go swiming though
  18. yeah I am in the same condition , we got 3 inches of snow . heheehe , but in VA 2 inches closes school and the government for the day !!! A single flurry of snow in the sky around here makes people run into ditches and causes many accidents .
  19. I ordered my first Iwata today . I have been using a badger 155 , the same one for years . so I will let you know how it compares
  20. I also use kilz and others by the gallons , dip them and let them hang for a few days . Nice thick sandable primer , fills in minor boob boos also . It has worked well for lots of lures .
  21. I remember when I was young I went to a tackle fishing show with my dad , I was maybe 10 or so . One of the vendors had a big barrell full of soft plastics worms and grubs and other fun squishy stuff . The deal was for kids 12 and under (cant remember the exact age) it cost a dollar or so to be able to reach in the barrell and grab as many worms as they could in one handfull and of course get to keep them . And of course you could do like a few buck more for kids 12 and up or something . I just thought it was so cool . Maybe we could try to get something like this together for the Fl show in april ? Maybe if any one has some extras or some that they have odd amounts of or what not we could fill a barrell up ? Its nice to have something at these shows that only the kids can do , after walking around with Moms and/or Dads all day , of course most of the dads will be in a daze running to all the booths that will be there . Plus it gives the kids some of their own tackle in their tackle boxes . What do you all think ?
  22. Now thats getting into my sized stuff !! I like it alot !
  23. And they didnt just bump it up a few cents , guess they needed new mercedes ? With as much traffic as TU gets , if everyone started listing a few items on the TU auctions it would be big very quick !!!
  24. yeah , I closed my store also . Not worth it . Yes 3% additional (8% now) for the final selling fee makes a huge difference , and i ran 250 or so auctions in the last 30 days . Alot of my seller friends say they are going to try Yahoo , problem is Yahoo doesnt have any where close to the traffic , and definetly not in the fishing area , I tried it for a year , but who knows maybe I will flood Yahoo with my stuff and see how it does . Yahoo is a flat rate I belive havent checked in awhile .
  25. Did you all get the email from ebay with the new price increases going in effect FEB. 18th ? Just thought I would post this as it makes a big difference . I start alot of my lures for a buck or two bucks , cant do it now , to risky . Below is the email I recieved .
