Time for some beers and tying tonight. Found a bunch of new beads at a local craft shop(1500 beads for 3.99!), got some new blades and quick change clevises and P-line barrel swivels at a tackle shop (had to drive an hour to get there) woot woot!

Bass Killer???? lol Looks like an amazing day, congrats! Some real beauties there

How is that gonna happen??? The friggin US controls the FED (central banking system). Unless the monetary system as a whole is abolished, nothing will change. It's the same with every country under the same system. All countries create money from thin air (pretty much anywho). Thats how the banking system works, on all levels. You deposit $1000 into an account, within law, gives them the right to create about 10% of that in new money. But on top of that, that $1000 is now used to give someone else a loan. When it's transferred to their account, again, now they can create another 10% of that in new paper money. And so on and so forth. Inflation, debt etc can never change in this system. The daily increase or decrease makes no difference at all. It can't, because thats just how the monetary system works.

OPEC and the Canadian/American governments will make sure this happens. And OPEC will include the cost of the build to further increase the price per barrel as well. Canada wants the money and the jobs. United States wants the cheap oil/gas. They also don't talk much about Canada being their number one provider of oil, because it's much easier to exploit other countries without reaction, then to do so with Canada. United States can't invade Canada, it would be a relations nightmare. And Canada has everything they need, cheap... Dr. Sal, I used to work for a major lumber provider in Ontario. No joke, we would cut and treat the lumber for Weyerhaueser. Then ship it to Minnesota. Within a few weeks, the exact bundles would be shipped back to us for building projects(such as Home Makeover). The funny part you ask... Weyerhauser was billed for the lumber, by....... Weyerhaueser???? At a price increase nonetheless

Nice archie_james_c I especially like the golden shiner, very nice. How do you like those smile blades???

If things were run the way they should be run, that woulda put us in the #1 spot log time ago. Now we are the worlds "wal-mart". Jokes on us But, If you wanna buy a culture, we sure are looking to get rid of this Native thing we hardly use....

I ended up missing out on some supplies tonight, major bummer. I could not find the right blades (at least the ones I wanted) and couldn't find a clevis to save a life. I made 5 of each of these (not my own colorway, a rip off of another company) ahh, well, gotta wait for some shipments to arrive I suppose I picked up some basics as well to make up for my disappointment

Perhaps, tough to know without a picture... I had assumed by "box", he was referring to the bed of his truck??? Maybe I'm wrong??? But if he was referring to the back of his truck, its probably about 75" long and around 60" wide. If that was the case, he could fit a rod corner to corner of about 90" or so

I loved the slow mo run for the camera!!! That was very good man! I enjoyed it

the box is longer corner to opposing corner.

left corner to right corner? Or is it vise versa? lol

Thanks for the feedback Roy, much appreciated. When I looked into them, it always said they'll spin at slower speeds, which is what got me interested. But if you read the comments on them it seems they don't spin well at slower speeds.

I only use two number 2 hooks for crawlers 1 for minnow presentations. If I did more trolling, I'd do 3 hooks.

Thats true Sinclair. I use 10 wraps on my lighter line rigs, maybe nothing more than habit??? I only use 6 wraps with any line heavier then 14lb. I'm heading to town soon to go get stocked up on supplies. Gonna hit the craft shops for beads, the girlfriend uses them for crafting anyways, lol. We usually find some really cool beads at low prices. Gotta pick up an assortment of colorados too, and might even pick up some dakota blades to try out. Any input on those blades??? Folded and quick change clevises, and some Trilene big game (this time around) and I'll be all set for the night!

Awesome info, glad to see you passing on your knowledge here as well as other places. Thank you

lol, I have no intentions of using Nanofil for this application. I just wanted to see if the knot would hold. The line is far too limp, my assumption would be that the blades would barley spin

Just outta curiosity, I snelled a hook the other night with 8lbs Nanofil. I put the hook in a vice, and tied a palomar knot to split ring, then to a digital scale (I know, far from scientific). It broke at 9lbs give or take on the snelled end. Actually, it didn't even break the line, just slipped the knot. I was pretty surprised The line snelled easily but obviously, the line is far too limp to actually use in a crawler harness. Just thought I'd let you all know Bugugli, that chart. in the bag had me salivating. Here is a pic of the top end of my castable rigs, works very well.

how do you guys snell, how many raps etc??? I use 10 wraps generally. Where I can, I'll use a palomar(like with a treble hook trailer). And I must admit I'm kinda obsessed with the knot, lol. If it's tied nice, I really appreciate that On my crawler harness I like using 2 blades, for minnow presentations, I just use on blade generally. The amount of beads I use varies, usually 6 though, one or two above the blade

Nice baits guys!!! Bigugli, I had no idea you made/sold baits!!! Those are killer looking I've been doing alot lately, but tomorrow I'll be spending all night making tackle (can't wait). I'm also making some castable one using an egg sinker, one of my personal favs. I fish skinny water most of the time, so I like the colorado. I use various sizes. 6mm beads, plastic or glass. Matzuo sickle hooks is what I use most of the time, one black nickel, one red (the trailer). I use folded clevises and plastic quick change (especially for experimenting). Line varies depending what I plan to do with the rig, but 14lb mono is used most. My favorite color combo is black/silver, works well shallow or deep, clear or stained. I'll post up some pics from mine and some from my son as well, tomorrow. Anyone still prefer a treble hook as the trailer???

I thought it be a good discussion to get going here on OFC. After reading a thread last year I started making my own rigs, and so did my son. I found it to be alot of fun, and the ideas seem endless. Who here makes their own? What are your preferences on line? Length of line? What hooks or other components do you use/prefer? How do you fish your rigs? Blades, types, colors etc...? I would like to see some pics as well if you have em. I think it was Sinclair that posted up some really nice rigs, as well as Roy??? Thanks to anyone that chimes in...

That's a very good post Limey! All the government biased is based on one thing, the monetary system... Ron Paul for Prime Minister! Oh wait...

The scary thing about chemtrails is you can watch it happening everyday, almost anywhere in the country... And it correlates strongly to aluminium and the diseases/health concerns aluminium contributes to and/or causes. And if you look into HAARP in detail, you'll stumble across government statements/videos in regards to the government tampering with the weather. Alot of scary stuff the governments don't tell us about.

If this isn't the topic that starts a revolution in the U.S., I don't know what will??? Your certainly not going to get the truth out of the government about why they want to pass this bill, or how it will be used, that's for sure. I'm sure it has alot to do with control of content, but moreso about the money that could be made... (outta thin air I might add, lol)

and yes, HAARP is .......

Must be too many videos and website publishing materials about chem trials and HAARP
