Right a Wrong!!

Think I have offended some folks with my latest post!!! Sorry if I offended anyone!!! Was not trying to sell,advertise my baits!!! Was taken to grenada Miss on a crappie cranking trip(bandit cranks)last summer and loved it and could see this tech used on my home lakes!! I make,paint my own Crankbaits for bass fishing!! Thought I would try my own crappie cranks!!(picks I posted) A Crappie.com member ask me if I would make them some I agreed!!!! I see the mistake now!!! This was wrong!!! My intent was to show others on jig tying/luremaking!!! LUREMAKING!!!Forum not advertise or sell My intent was to show others they might be able to buy the blanks (add split rings,hooks) and save some money on crappie cranks( bandits $6-7.00) ouch and if you or trolling 3 cranks on each side of the boat can get expensive!!! I did not join Crappie.co to sell baits but learn from others and their different tech so I could apply it to my lakes!!! I am blessed with some of the best crappie lakes and fishing in the country!!!

Sorry if I offended any one!!! Will not Happen again!!!!

My father says he is (80) he needs to buy me for what I am worth and sell me for what I think I am worth would be Rich!!!!

This is a public forum jackie53. At some point I can almost guarantee you that someone somewhere will get offended. I personally was not offended and I didn't read any advertisement to sell anything. But maybe someone else did. If that's the case they'll deal with it. I do like your work though so don't quit posting because you won't please everybody all the time.

:hesaid:hesaid

Yes keep posting and maybe teach some of the guys that want to get into that part of lure making. You do a good job on them for sure!

Jackie I would like to see a picture of you pulling a slab out with a custom made crank that you made in its mouth. Gary

Crappie Cranks Ready for Splitrings and Hooks If we can catch the crappie in the summer time(suspended in tops of trees)) on crappie cranks Should be able to catch them in winter time!!! Trying to get my crappie cranks ready for warmer weather and give these cranks a try!! Need to find a good way(tackle bag,box)system of storing crankbaits!!

Trinity Special-Mate crankbait box. Make sure it is the crankbait, not the spoon model. Franks Outdoors had the best price (with shipping) when I got my latest one last spring.

Thanks for info!!!!

Hey Jackie53, Thanks for sharing and helping us understand where you are coming from. This site gets a lot of advertising and some of it is hard to understand. We are inundated with all the ads on the internet and I consider this kind of a safe haven from much of the onslaught. I think of this jig forum as a learning and sharing experience and I hope it can stay that way. We got a lot of very talented (good) folks on here and I enjoy seeing other peoples work. Please keep posting your ideas and thanks for sharing on the best place around earth! ifish

jackie when are you giving lessons? I like to be able to make some.

I'm also wondering what type of airbrush that you use maybe you can post a picture of yours we are considering doing some handcarved baits.

Thanks for the post agree 100%!! Just painting a name on the back of a jig or crank or any other bait is just showing a paint job!!(some see it as advertising) some see the paint job and say I can put my bait shop name on my baits,blades,ect just customizing the bait or lure!!!Like a chart /pink jighead!! no different than your wed site at the bottom to open up to see your lures or baits!! I am a joined crappie.com to learn and help other's not sell!! Just my 2 cents and My point!!! I am guilty of advertising do it out of habit!!(job) Have been advertising for 35 yr's hard to change!! My intent is to make this a better web site (build it up not tare it down!!! (do unto others as you would have them do unto you)!! I have been spit on,shot at ,run out of town a little to touchy sometimes!!! Hua!!!
