    I like fishing for pike, so most of my lures are home made. I figured out a couple years ago that I could get much better action out of a spoon made my way, than any commercial offering. The ones I make, I can make stay in one place, or even swim backwards once you learn how to use them. It can take a long time to retrieve them at the slow rate I like to fish, and they absolutely make pike mad. Nothing imitates a dying perch better.
    I still see a lot of homemade bull trout plugs for sale at yard sales around here. Some are real crude, being a piece of cut off and lightly shaped broom stick, to some really artfully done lures.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Flatfish are now made by Yakima Bait Company, the same people who make Roostertails.

    Look here, maybe:

    My bigest problem

    is how to find time to fish between shooting, loading, casting and this damn puter.
    Gotta do it though cause the woman wants trout.
    I think I will be able to make the transition without much pain.


    Life is good
