take a kid hunting and fishing, it's a lot better than leaving them on the streets!!

i have not tryed rattle jigs
i try to use only stuff i make, pour and paint all my own jigs and sinkers tie my own jigs and flies (granted not as nice as flies  i see on mff tied by guys)
but work well i really enjoy making walleye stuff jigs,harnesses ,bottom rigs started making own stuff in 1984 when i was tying flys and pouring snag hooks for shops from oak orchard to niagara area
i do purchace some stuff like spoons from netcraft i assemble myself and stickbaits for trolling and casting  but try to keep it real simple
i think some people overthink things ,just my opinion
just nice catching what i need on stuff i create
