Home made lures etc

Dark i think you are always going to have the trolls. They have nothing better to do and are probably unhappy in their own sad lives. So they have to keep putting stuff online that is not true. If someone can't see that fishing is off, they would have to be blind. Just my .02.
Yes, I am retired and it's good to be able to get out there and fish for my morning exercise. Whether I catch or not it's still worth it to me. You are not too far from being old yourself. You are welcome to shoot the breeze any time.

Still my favorite jighead style to date.

Sometimes you just get bored with tying the plain old fish catching white bucktail & red thread ultra minnow combo...and what you end up with is a 1.5oz Ultra Minnow in Electric Chicken or as some like to call it now Tutti Frutti.


This was a 4oz Ultra Minnow jig head that had been sitting on my tying bench for well over a year. I absolutely hated the way the pink paint job came out and out of the 5 or so shades of pink bucktails that I had none matched it even remotely. I was showing some friends how to tie bucktails and one of them loved the color so I said what the heck I bet I can make it work.

The end result was a mixture of blue, chartreuse and white hackles along with blue, purple, chartreuse, white, salmon pink, and fluorescent pink bucktails. I can't help but to think that the jig would look even better on a shiny tin jig head...maybe next time

Killer jig heads for stripers off the beach featuring heavy duty forged Mustad hooks.

Awesome bucktails do you think you will ever be making enough to sell them? And if so how much? thanks

Like Surferman said, awesome.
Incredible workmanship.

Its a possibility over the winter, I always said I would sell a few here and there to offset the cost of getting new molds. Most of these molds are not cheap
