After the success of a new jig and apex design I came up with this season I plan to upgrade some non-productive one's with this new paint scheme. One jig in particular was my #1 producer and had way better success than all other jigs used at the same time. I tried to make a couple copies of it useing paints that were close (ran out of the original) but quickly found out that just being a shade off makes a BIG difference. Time to place a NetCraft order... Will post up a few pictures once they're done!! thumbsup

I pretty much missed out on the koke season this year cause of open heart surgery and other issues. As a result, I didn't get to really try out all my creations from last winter, including some new tackle purchases. Nonetheless, you can bet I'll be back to the work bench this winter putting together new tackle. Want to make some more bead and blade spinners if I can find some sexy colors besides the stuff I already have on hand. Will also be researching other component goodies that'll get the creative juices flowing.
Expect that as usual I'll get another ration of crap for all the gear I have, but like I've heard some of you guys say before...."You can never have enough..." and I don't have a wife hassling me like my critics. I learned several years ago that "divorse = "It's all about me." nanananawhistlersmother101noharte101

BorntoFish01, my wife occassionally asks me if she were to die, would I marry again. In my best sad voice I tell her that I could never find anyone like her so why would I bother. That seems to make her feel good and allows me to fantasize about spending her pension and SS dollars on tackle. It's a win/win!

why not start a "swap shop" where I trade a couple of my most productive creations for a couple of someone elses. Could be cool

SuperD is already fantisizing. Be careful with the swap shop idea. 101ok101

swapps need to be arranged in pms and not on open forum
Can a swap thread exist where just pictures of guys offerings are shown and the haggling take place on the PM's?

Here's a "What If" -
What if everybody put two of their favorite custom lures in an envelope and in that same package is a pre-paid envelope with your address. One location receives all of these goodies, opens the envelopes and randomly selects someones custom lures and drops them in the pre-paids to ship them. You don't know whose custom lure you'll be getting in return, but that's half the fun of it. If you did it again, you'll get someone elses. It means one person well known to the forum would have to do the shuffle, but what else do we have to do when the season's over? It might be fun and you'd never know what you were going to get when the package arrives.
Could be a fun winter-time diversion, if we can find someone willing to do it.

I haven't had much time to do anything different lately other than playing around with colors. My plan is to get caught up with some plugs that I owe people. I did finish some other non-fishing time killers here and there just to break up the monotony.

Ralph, I like that idea! I joined in on one a few years ago & it went pretty smooth most of the time but a few people had some problems with it.
The biggest problem would be for the person doing the work. And some people had some problems with what they recieved but as long as its for fun & something to do this winter count me in on most any type of trading!
