Whatever works is my motto.

Wow I guess you are pretty big on reflective tape, madcaster! How long does it hold up and if you don't mind my asking were do you get it? Also do you make those metals from a lead mold? I have heard of sinker molds but never heard of ones that small. Nice work.

Totally matches the profile of the bait that is around now, niice! Love the peanut ones.

Pretty slick there, dude. Whats the biggest gorilla you ever got on one of them?

It beats spending 7.99 on deadly ***** and some of the high end tins out there. Why feed expensive metal to bluefish?

These are made of ¼ x 1”and smaller steel bar stock scraps Ihad laying around. The tape is from a auto parts store. It holds up pretty well. Just gives it a flash in the water. I’ve caught some big blues on them; I pull them out when the blues are in blitzing mode or in thick in the spring. It doesn’t take much to lure them in. I ever caught a 24”red drum on one in OBX last year.






My buddy was throwing a bunch of junk away and there was a old set of spoon and forks. I took all the spoons and made some nice “spoons “out of them. I add some lead for weight.My biggest blue was caught on one of these. 15lbs I lady took a pic of me holding it, but she never posted it were she told me to look for it.

I really like that spoon made out of a spoon, lol. How do you add the weight to it?
