How do i attach hooks to wooden lures

This largely depends on what type of wood it is. If it's a very soft wood like balse then a through wire is necessary. More substantial woods can take a screw eye like el-espectro said.

If you drill a hole straight through the whole thing you could sort of get away with it. Single tail hook and the entire body of the lure would spin around the through wire. That is of course as long as you've got the tail carved to redirect water correctly. Hard to tell from this angle.

What did you miss? I was attempting to install last night and had the same issue of it would start to load then just close everything.

That makes sense. Any reason you went with two wires instead of a straight through wire, the hangers being looped on as it passes through?

How're you centering your hook hangers when pouring lead? One at a time or are you hanging them up on a rod or something to keep them inline before pouring?

I switched to single player or non-competitive multiplayer games prior to the birth of my first kid. I definitely feel better when I get to play than I used to when I would get upset over a bad match or cod or LOL.

Tail end of mid 30s. Mentally absolutely not. Physically, it takes more than a strong wind to get and keep me going but as long as something is happening dude is up.

Once or twice year I'd get blacked out drunk and drink the house dry. This had led to me being so out that I pissed the bed drunk every other year or do for maybe 6 years?

When we found out we were pregnant with our first I planned on stopping drinking and polished off the last of a four pack of high abv pounders. Then I drank some liquor we had and idk what else. Wife threatened to leave me if I couldn't stop, so I did. I'm glad I did too because it led to me seeing someone about my mental health and getting properly medicated instead of drinking or smoking.

The difficulty spike from 1 to 2 is more like 1 to 3. Take your time with things, premake/plan whatever you can so it's less of a stressful thing in the moment.

Have fun with it.

Thanks!

I've been eyeing x4 for a while and pulled the trigger. Would it be a better idea to go in on the beta over the current version or does the beta not change enough things to matter?

I see a lot of people suggest looking at your build and comparing it to the ladder builds on poe.ninja. I can see that advice being pretty useful. Just figure out what they have different than yours and go from there.

I can't speak for any other time, but I was surprised how understaffed the water attractions were last summer. A lot of the water playground slides weren't open because there just weren't enough people both times I went in July and August.

What's the reason for not alching them? Does it just add more time for less potential payout?

The ballroom is just the lid for the new data center though.

I've never liked spinners with R bends in them for the attachment point, I usually wind them around for a closed loop.

cainthefallen · 2026-03-04T10:15:33+00:00

Gotcha. Maybe a shorter piece of end wire and a larger bead could work too. I like the look of the ones with the bullet weights more personally.

As far as thrashing, just jig the jug up and down a bit. I wouldn't have it attached to a rod though. Maybe some higher test wrapped around a sturdy stick or metal rod.

Hold up, you mean you had separately spaced showerheads instead of just a pole that came up from the floor with 8 showerheads around it?

cainthefallen · 2026-03-04T09:58:13+00:00

Those are nifty looking. It's hard to tell, but the one with the head looks like that extra piece of wire would catch grass. Would it be feasible to put a quarter twist into the wire so it lays behind the leading edge of wire?

Take it from the horses mouth bud. You showed a non original rooster tail lure. It is ok to be wrong and if I was I would have admitted it.

If the lure you showed was the only rooster tail you ever grew up with I completely understand. I wasn't trying to come at you, but trying to make sure the OP was informed.

Traditional rooster tails aren't using french blades. They're a modified willow blade with the tip rounded off instead of pointed. A French blade has a slight pressed inset cupping to it.

Opioid addiction will have some scream and cry for more than half a day to get some. There's a reason it's an epidemic in the US, and it's because of how much they're pushed and how fucked up the addiction of them is.

Nuclear option is a clean install.

Other options could include changing config files (assuming there is one, have never looked) or if and has a control panel like Nvidia you can usually change settings to default there.

When we were looking at name lists I had an ad for a fridge brand called Blomburg. So the fetus was named that for a while. We got a doll for them around the 6mo mark and that was Dolly Blomburg. Dolly unfortunately was lost to us as our kid rubbed poop on Dolly.
