DRIFTER_016

Well that's just great!!!! You've doomed us all!!!! See you on the other side on Friday there Craig!!! Hope those jigs won't melt where we're all going.

There has been a rip in the space/time continuum and the only way to repair it is for Craig to mail those airplane jigs to me!!! They must be in the mail before Friday or.....................................

NAH, then it will just complain and offer poor service!!!!

Like the one on the right in this picture? I have a couple in my box still.

Been going on up here since the 70's and it's still no where near being resolved. And yes the claim area has been out and published that long too!!! I'm sure the claim there in Ontario's North East will be settled about the time, time travel becomes possible.

I have caught a bunch of fish on the darter too. I have a couple of dozen of them. I also tip them with a chunk of cisco with good luck. My other go to lure are the Northland Airplane jigs (the big ones not those babies the OP has) I also tip them with a slab of meat. This one is my favorite.

A couple of years ago I sent CTV an email about the old shows and possibly getting DVD's of his shows. I got no reply.

I built one out of old battery powered drills. The tail stock is just the carrier bearing and chuck while the head stock has the motor in it. They are a pair og the original 7.2V Makita's that had the batteries built in. I cut up the drill housings to fit my needs and also found that I needed cooling as I am running it with either a 12V battery or power supply. I made cooling holes and added 2, 12 volt computer power supply fans. It was a little work but works great and does double duty as a cork lathe for making my rod handles. When I turn floats I have devised a great little arbor to hold the balsa blanks. It is a piece of 6-32 threaded rod and several aluminum threaded sleeves. The slevees hold the material tight and protect the rod when in the chuck. Here's a pic of the lathe and I'll try to remember to take one of the arbor tonight.

Yeah, you're not normal!!!! :tease: I hate Bell!!! For 15 years we had Inet with Bell and switched from dialup to Bell Turbo Hub about 7 years ago. Well over the past 2 years they have cancelled my email acct. 4 times!!! This year they cancelled it 3 times!!! And the last time they said they weren't going to reinstate it because we switched over to the turbo hub which is Bell Mobility and dialup was Bell Canada!!!! Really??!!??!!??! So they cancelled my email I said either reinstate it or I will cancel all of my Bell services. They said they coudn't do that. I said, please cancel my service. Then I went and canceled the rest of my services and when they asked me why I told them. You cancel my email which costs like $.01/year to host you lose $1200/year in my business!!!!!

I bought a GM once. Won't make that mistake again. I'm patiently waiting for the Chicago Auto Show in February to see what Toyota does with the redesigned 2014 Tundra since I'm thinkin' of replacing the old Honda in 2013.

Part 2!!! A lot of good vids on their channel including giant blue fin tuna. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/i6D-fiQdlA8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm sure the cheapy will do you fine.

No, not the elbow to elbow river fishing kind. The kind where the fish give you a thorough beat down!!!! Just that casting would wear me out never mind the gargantuan GT's!!!! Grab a bowl of popcorn something to drink and enjoy!! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DFh0iaJ5nPw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

My furnace is propane. Never had a problem though as it's beside a slight hill. It gets burried by snow early so it's well insulated.

How we BBQ at -40.

You can either dip them or paint the stuff on with a model paintbrush. If yo dip them clean out the eyes before the stuff hardens (doesn't take long). Might want to do it in the garage, with the door open. The stuff is pretty stinky and you get light headed if you use it in an enclosed space.

We have 2+ feet of ice so far.

White tube jig and airplane jigs are my top two baits. Number 3 is a large gold williams whitefish. All baits tipped with a chunk of cisco.

Yes on the heads to protect the finish. It protects the paint from rocks and fish teeth too!!!

I'll take a green one!!! :rofl2:

I coat all of my jigs with Softex. I was having issues with all of my Meegs being depainted, but no more. It provides a clear ruberized coating that protects them nicely. It is tough to ship so you might try to find it through your local fly shop as it is used to make tough heads on flies that are to be used on toothy critters. Available @ Bass Pro Shops

I am here and have experienced temps down to -57C!!! BRRRR!!!

Why switch? It's not like C & F are all of a sudden the same below -40 -45C = -49F -50C = -58F -55C = -67F -56.66 = -70F The boiling point of liquid nitrogen -60C = -76F -67.22 = -89F The lowest recorded temp. ever (Snag Yukon a long time ago)

I've heard it's a great cormorant load too.

T'was -48 with the wind this mornin'.
