General Discussion / Re: NOT ready yet

You have to remember the air temperature in Ashtabula and Geauga County is usually about 5 degrees less than everywhere else. That is why the northeast of Ohio is usually the first to freeze. If they don't get the snow on top as an insulator it will continue to build.

Went by and it is iced over with about six inches of snow on top but not thick enough to attempt to ice fish.

There are some very good places up here to meet. Were always the first out on the ice in NE Ohio with temps usually 5 degrees less than across the rest of the state.

Packing it all up for the year. Time to start some seeds and get ready for the spring and summer garden. Lots of money and time wrapped up in all this stuff.

The Frabill Inlines do make noise and I called them about that about two years ago to see if there was a way to take the clicker out. Bottom line it cannot be done. All said they are good online reels but have gone away from them.

General Discussion / Re: new style of jig

« on: December 15, 2016, 02:24:22 PM »

I powder paint lead jigs all the time. Just keep the temp down and you will be fine. With smaller lures I usually dip them, let them cool a little, back to the heat, in the powder again for better coverage or go into a different color for a striped effect. I use a needle nose pliers to pull each lure out of the toaster oven and it makes the process go quick. Then have a wire on the side where they can hang and cure.
