        <p>Buddy wants to make some spinnerbaits. The mold I&#8217;m looking at calls for an Eagle claw 235 or 255 hook, anyone know the Mustad number for that?</p>

        <p>Just thought I&#8217;d show a couple pictures of my new walleye jigs. I&#8217;ve had them up for a while but never got around to posting them here. The wire keeper is what makes the jig. </p>

<p>I have them from 1/16 to 1/2, the ones pictured are 1/8 which I use the most.</p>

        <p>VS mesh netting so as to have a scaled appearance, whatever that&#8217;s called.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m bat-poop crazy for cranks  I&#8217;ve been buying them in lots off ebay for cheap and I don&#8217;t have the luxury of getting the crank I want in the color I want.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m an easy man to please.&nbsp; I like real simple color patterns such as a chartreuse/gold side with some back color.&nbsp; I don&#8217;t own an airbrush but have figured out how to do a pretty darn good splatter back effect.</p>

<p>So what are the advantages/disadvantages to the different back painting styles?&nbsp; Do fish feed selectively based on whether the paint is splattered on or applied with a stencil?&nbsp; I can&#8217;t imagine they do.</p>

<p><br />
Attached images because I&#8217;m either retarded or links/images are broken </p>

<p>EDIT: can&#8217;t even do that.</p>

        <p>Was messing around a while back making some small whitebass lures when this popped into my mind. Figured it would help with open water misses. Sporting a super freakin sharp #4 treble hook that has already proven itself to be very sharp. </p>

        <p>I&#8217;ve been powder coating my jigheads and thats fine and all, but has anyone used a different technique? I was thinking airbrush but I live in an apartment and I dont think that would be a very good idea&#8230;The reason why I want to try something else is because I want to be able to do multicolors and add different designs and such. Any tips?</p>

        <p>I know most of you have your favorite baits and sponsors and most of you make your own but I met a guy who just started pouring his own because what he wanted wasn&#8217;t on the market.&nbsp;  He gave me some sample packs he wanted tested.&nbsp; I opened one up to check them out and I am a pretty hard guy to impress but I was pleasantly pleased.&nbsp; In my garage I wacky hooked a 4&#8221; worm directly into the worm about 10 times w/o the worm breaking, I stretched it and it took allot to break it.&nbsp; And to beat all, the rubber is very soft.&nbsp; The craws (and I am a SK Rage Craw fan) holds better on the hook and doesn&#8217;t tear like the SK Rage not to mention the claws are much larger yet also float up.&nbsp; I told him that I have a bunch of guys who would give them the ultimate test them for him if he wanted and he said go ahead.&nbsp;  The problem is that I don&#8217;t know how to get them to you.&nbsp; I suppose anyone who would like to test for him could PM me your address and I&#8217;ll have him send you each a packet.</p>
