we wanted to make up some new styles here is a picture of a 1/8 ounce and 1/32 oz. The 1/8 ounce will be tied up exactly with the Hackel in the future it will be a line that we will continue to make it should be great for walleyes and smallmouth. And of course your monster crappie.

we take a needle like you used to sew burlap sacks it is pretty good size. we simply stick the hackle through the eye of the needle and pull it on through.Quote:

i barely have time to breathe anymore with all this school work, so it may be christmas break before i get to make anymore baits. thanks for those baits you sent me, i never use to do good with similar stuff but i think these have a smaller profile and might work very well. I like the colors too.Quote:

But beyond that I was making up tackle I had no the ins and outs so I've talked to quite a few professional guides and also many walleye fisherman up around Michigan and Minnesota and across the US. That's why I posted the picture of that one particular jig don't know if you had the chance to use any jig with hackle tight onto the jig like that .my very close friend I'd tie up black ones for him he does terrific with them.Quote:

We troll crankbaits (reef runners) or worm harness-es with in line sinkers, or we drift bottom bouncer rigs with worm harness-es or eriederies. Some of the smaller waters we wally fish we use either a jig head tipped with a minnow or somthing like you are making. Lindy used to make one that's similar that we have used, but yours honesty look better.
do you have a size limit on them and how many can you keep a day. I know most the walleye fisheries are pretty well maintained throughout the US a lot of the northern states it is a big thing but I'm assuming that is a big thing no matter where you go the walleye is a very important fishery throughout the US. Nobody realizes one other fish that is so important to the warm water fishery the crappie probably number one fish throughout our nation I can't think of one other specie that they spin millions of dollars every year on. If you take the average guy out there and he buys $20 worth of jigs could you imagine how much money that would be not to mention the boats fishing poles and everything else that goes with it I would say it was be a multimillion dollar industry. Of course I don't know where we would stand to the mighty bass. But I'm sure that we would be next in neck. Has anybody looked at the amount of people on this site. Shocking isn't it but myself I consider the panfish is a family type thing it's for everybody to enjoy I can't think of any other species that is more fish for and you definitely have fun.Quote:

We fish for them big cats on the ohio river, wally fish, bluegill, but by far my favorite is to take my son out and get after the crappie. Check out my report on the main page call great day on the water. My son and I had so much fun fri it was awesome. Fishing is a family thing for us. My grandpa, dad, son, and I have done it all our lives. Great family time that's for sure.Quote:
