  1. I’m glad I’m not the only one! I’d rather buy a couple of bargain rods and have a variety of rods to choose from for different conditions- then buy one 300 to 500$ Rod and feel like I have to baby it
  2. As others have mentioned- Fiblink makes a great rod for the cost, you can’t beat it. Although the more I see - I think a lot of these might be from the same factory too. the OP post of the striper rod looks great - plus if your traveling and it gets broken in transit- no big deal! Think of how easy it is to bust a guide or a tip… anyways- I gotta also say that the customer service at Fiblink is top notch too- I bought a rod and havnt really used it for a couple of months- then when I did I caught a fish and my line was like string cheese due to a cracked ring in the line guide (that was there from shipment and I overlooked) All this to say- I contacted the company and they made things right!
  3. There is a math calculation that you can use - I remember reading about it in one of Al Ristori’s columns - I believe it’s : ((Girth in inches x Girth in inches) x Length in inches) / 800 maybe someone could correct it if this is incorrect? you could also keep the fish in the net and use your boga grip to grasp the net (where the net attaches to the hoop) for a quick estimate too…
  4. thats sounds about right… I remember they also had a sign on the side of a semi truck trailer. I was real excited at first cause it’s a cool spot
  5. Does anyone remember when this all first started?? I recall the first time seeing a billboard in front of the sight on the gsp coming home from work and thinkin that would be awesome! But I kinda feel like that was 10 yrs ago?
  6. Thanks @extreme fisherman! I havnt tried to work it like a pencil- but I don’t believe it would with the lip and also the way that if lays in the water in a neutral position/flat… but you did just give me an idea for a future plug! Lol thanks I do like the way it swims it’s got a bit of a shimmy to it as is swims.
  7. It’s been a while since I posted… and a while since I finished any plugs! It’s been a busy winter and not so productive as far as the plugs, but here are 2 with more in the works!
  8. Sooo…. TK… how about that jointed surfster??!? lol jk- nice work as always… that thing is gonna do some damage!
  9. that there- that exact spot, even upside down, WAS one of my favorite spots… that’s so sad, what a shame.
  10. WOW!! Nice work!! Beautiful
  11. Thanks Man, I’m gonna check out that video… it seems very interesting to me, I kinda like making things out of epoxy. Although I like wood much better lol still epoxy can be fun and that YouTube channel has all kinds of cool stuff!
  12. Do you have some pics of the mold and process?? Again, Really cool job
  13. so I just read this a second time- does it swim on the surface with no weight then?? If not- To get it to swim on the surface- you could try to lower the line tie… but it might be worth float testing it in the sink- and moving weight around front to back, like a small peice of lead with a rubber band- until the plug floats in a neutral position- then add the weight there. I would guess it needs some in the tail by the back treble. Real nice work- it looks awesome
