How many feet per second do you get out of those? :grin:

As hard as those things fight, can you make me one out of a stun gun? [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

I have a dozen 300 win mag lures in the box I didnt end up with the lead shot rattle, nice idea. [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img] I poured lead in my casings to weight them. They even have a fishnet pattern painted on the casings

I think some day, an appraiser on the antiques road show will get their hands on my tackle box and be speechless. :shocked: :shocked:

Some of my ideas are so far out there I wont post them until I know if they will fish or not :blush: Look forward to "maybe" hearing about some new lures in July

I'll bet a pint he catches a tuna on the casing-rig! Does it have a name? I keep trying to get Mark Mc to name his creations, but to no avail.
Let's see..... maybe you could call it the "hoochy blaster" or something.

October? Hmmm That would Explain it I Started hunting in August and finished in November.

I Think These Rigs will work,and Work well with The Almost Endless supply of Squirts out There it will be easy to change colors to Match the Hatch
