How's your GAS lately?
I'm GASin' bad...not even Tums can help. As I mentioned in a previous post, my gear acquisition syndrome has been in full beast mode since late fall and I've acquired everything from a new tackle bag (barn) to a fish finder for the yak and everything in between. Here are some of my spoils...I went feather treble crazy on my hard baits and it's been good to me, especially on the suspending jerkbaits, gives it this realistic action. Also picked up a heavier combo (Lexa 300HS w 7' Mojo Bass HF) to throw larger baits up to 1.5 OZ. It adds to my Mojo/Lexa lineup handsomely =D
... now if it was only spring ...

I love homemade hair jigs because they catch tons of fish & allow for infinite customization.
I hate homemade hair jigs because because losing them to snags & teeth hurts a tinge more than losing something you can replace in 1 swipe of the card.
By this time of the summer, most years, the bucktail jig bite dies off, for me, & falls to the wayside in favor of bigger plastics or hard baits. This year I still seem to be catching good fish whenever I throw them, walleyes, smallies, crappie & a few dink musky, so why ask why?
Finally found some time (and materials!) to help restock the box. I hope they last a while!

My new HF setup. I blame joetrain for this. This is literally what I told the wife "but honey, some guy from the internets told me I need a rod for heavy lures". Ideally I would have gone with 735c - I think that its lower weight limit might have some in handy, but it would have been $100 more expensive and I would have had two identical-looking setups. Of course there's Sierra and Champion, but that would have been even steeper. So Shimano SLX it is.

And as if I don't have enough chatterbaits I bought more. This is Jackhammer Stealth with clear polycarbonate blade which supposed to give slimmer, more finessy profile. Does it work? Time will tell. I paid $40 for a set of 4 which I guess is not bad for a higher end version of chatterbait.

You can tie anything,get material from,stuffed animals, furs,doll heads,don't limit yourself,to overpriced material,I used fur from my last two dogs
Hardly exciting, but desperately needed. Came into town for the holidays & got a chance to spend some time with the molds & pouring pot:
240 of 1/4oz ball-heads on 1/0 eagle claw laser-sharp, black-nickel hooks
140 of 1/8 ballheads on #1 mustad needle-point hooks.
100 of 1/4oz teardrop heads on 2/0 owner light-wires.
This should keep me busy tying for a good portion of the winter!
