Default Another newbie

Hello everyone, I just registered and I thought that I should introduce myself. My name is Dave, and I live in the Kalamazoo , Mi area. I love fishing for bass, especially topwater, because I love seeing the strike.

When I moved to this area, I was an occasional fisherman. Then, some neighbors took me fishing and were using spinnerbaits. I started making my own , and caught the lure making bug. Then a tourney guy asked me if I made any soft plastics, and showed me how to fish using a relatively unknown bait called a Senko. I was hooked. I bought a mold, plastic, colorant, glitter, scent and fished every chance I got. Now I sell my baits on ebay and it helps to pay for my hobby.

I am looking forward to exchanging information with you about bass lures. I will do my best to keep you updated on new developments and connect you to folks who can help you with your custom soft plastic needs.

All the best,

Dave

Welcome to the site Dave. Feel free to jump right in here and join in. I hear ya about making lures getting into your blood. I often make my own spinnerbaits, and that can be very enjoyable.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I fish Long lake and West lake routinely, because I have a place on Long and access to West through friends. I rely on my Tourney buddies to fish Gull and Austin.

Hey Bigbassin, do you know Jody Hobbs? He's a custom painter in Toledo. Check out Pics in my album. I also included a sample from Bryan at Bustinbassbaits.com

Thanks,

Dave
