A video on buzzbaits
December 12th 2008 01:50
Buzzbaits are one of the easiest to use lures on the market today. All you have to do is throw them out and reel! Available in different weights and configurations, buzzbaits are made by several manufacturers.
Here's a quick video describing one particular lure but its use covers most buzzbaits.

How to rig a soft plastic lure
October 17th 2008 00:32
Here's a nice video from YouTube that shows how to rig a soft plastic shad or just about any other kind of soft bait for that matter.
It's always a little dicey to say exactly how far to insert your hook. Provideing you're using offset hooks, what a guy told me works well. Insert the hook as much as the length of the offset. It seems to make things really easy!

What kind of hooks do YOU use?
June 23rd 2008 00:52
It never ceases to amaze me when I see guys buying plain hooks every spring but these same guys have lures with hooks that are two or three years old. The same principles apply so, why not change your lure hooks also?

This is a technique that I've wanted to discuss for a LONG time but it's hard to put into words.
A picture, or video in this case, is truly worth a thousand words.

Making sense of diving lips
March 27th 2008 00:52
Here are two lures that are the same except for the diving lip.
That thing on the front looks different than the one on the shelf above it!

Lures--What's old is new
August 2nd 2007 02:16
New lure? Old lure? What’s the difference? New or old, the bottom line is, “Does it catch fish?” Remember all the hoopla when a new lure came out when you were a kid? And remember all the fish it was supposed to catch? Sounds familiar doesn’t it? You hear a lot of the same stuff about lures today.

Equal time for spinnerbaits
July 15th 2007 23:57
I hope I didn’t make too many people upset by my last post. I don’t want anyone to think that I was promoting crankbaits over spinnerbaits. Knowing the versatility of the spinnerbait, I’d have to give it the nod in a popularity contest although I’m a little partial to my crankbaits. However, there’s a good reason for this! I started using crankbaits before spinnerbaits and so, I’ve caught more fish on crankers. If I had just one bait, though, it would have to be a spinnerbait. My next goal would be to have two—a light one for daytime and a darker one for night

Using Crankbaits
July 14th 2007 15:57
When it comes to artificial lures, it’s hard to beat a crankbait. Although those who are partial to spinnerbaits will argue this point, I have to say that if I could only have one type of lure, it would have to be a cranker

Making a case for wooden lures
June 9th 2007 00:12
If you go through your tacklebox you'll probably be like most people and notice that you have few, if any, wooden lures. I don't have any numbers, if there is a scientific survey on the subject, but, from looking in my friends' tackle boxes, I'd say the number is less than 20%. My own isn't much higher and I make lures! Why all the plastic?
Consistency is one of the main reasons. It's much easier to make a production run of say, 10,000 plastic lures than is is to do a run of 10,000 wooden lures and expect the same quality end to end despite modern machinery. That is not to say that consistency is impossible when it comes to machined wooden lures. However, you're going to pay for that consistency[ Click here to read more ]
