Title: Fresh Grapes
Post by: FinsnFur on June 30, 2019, 07:47:39 PM
You guys wouldn't laugh at me if I told you that I bought another mold would you?
I think I have a disease [emoji23][emoji1787]

I'll post some pictures of the new mold when I get some baits run through it.

It actually looks like you are having some fun and that is a good thing.

Barry, It is called having fun doing something you like - even if you will never use them all.   :yoyo:      :yoyo:      :yoyo:

For fish that live near bottom or near cover, we lose hooks if we fish for them well and put the hook where they live.  One of the good things about making your own lures or having a low cost source is the payoff at that moment when you want to cast into a spot that has high chance of hooking a fish but also high chance of snagging and losing the lure.  If the lure is expensive or you only have one, maybe you move on and don't cast into the snaggy spot.  If losing the lure is no big deal, fire it into that big fish's snaggy bunker. 

When I was a teenager, I'd swim out and dive to retrieve the snagged lure.  Jim doesn't have to do that! :highclap:

IT is a lot of fun. but they best part is I dont have a tackle box full of little plastic bags full of plastic baits anymore. :eyebrow:

At one time I had so many I had to choose which ones I was taking fishing each time. Aaaaaaaand I never have the wrong color. Make them as I need them in the color I want. Instead of going to the store all the time and buying them.

Now that I type that out it's like the story of my life. :laf:
I got into tanning hides because I wasnt going to pay someone to do it for me.
I learned to Fix my own vehicles cause I wasnt going to pay someone to.
I learned to pull an engine out and rebuild it cause I wasnt going to pay someone to do it.
I learned to build a new computer from the ground up cause I couldnt find what I wanted.
I got into hosting and web design cause I wasnt going to pay someone to do it for me.
I learned to cut my grass cause I wasnt gong to pay someone to it.
Ok...that last one dont count :laf: I wish I could pay someone to mow my lawn and I may. I hate mowing. :alscalls:

" I think I have a disease"  If so it's a good disease and I hope you keep it for a long time.  Cut grass, damn we have no grass out here to cut and I love it.
