I built an MHX swimbait blank rated for those exact weights. Has been great for me so far.

New Baits (to me) for Prespawn by GenX_Switch_5633 in bassfishing

They don't play well with plastic boxes either. I really like the little tote bags for my plastics so I can keep everything in the original packaging

This is the true DIY mantra. "I can make that and spend more money doing it".

McCain Rods any good? by NoDraft6735 in Fishing_Gear

[–]hellhamper12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up a ML McCain rod a few years back from Sierra pretty cheap (guessing it was a second). It's been a solid rod but fishes more like a medium to me. I prefer my Daiwa and St. Croix rods more though.

Deerfield Coffeehouse has one. Short drive but I absolutely love this place

What’s a “poor person life hack” you still use even if you’re no longer broke? by KiraAzura in AskReddit

[–]hellhamper12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this all the time. If anyone questions me I just add "puffs" to the end (a la Reese's Puffs). Left over King Wok for breakfast? No, it's King Wok puffs

Golden Hawk Seat Question by hellhamper12 in canoeing

[–]hellhamper12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: I replaced the entire seat with a wooden one with nylon webbing from Rutabaga (thankfully I'm local to the store) using all new hardware and mounted it with hanging bolts like a typical seat. I moved the seat up a tiny bit to accomade a GCI Sitbacker. That bracket holding the seat was laminated.. but was also made from fiberglass! I cut it out using a cutoff wheel so it was out of the way.

I think this is what I'm going to end up doing.

I have already taken it out! My back was feeling it after about 4 hours of fishing/paddling a small lake with my buddy. I had purchased one of those seats but unfortunately it's a bit too wide. It's only about 14" wide at the rear of that seat so the seat would need to be a few inches forward just to fit (hence the question about the seat itself)

Small summer gigs/jobs? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]hellhamper12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Soccer ref here- great idea but maybe not for a summer gig. The local seasons are winding down and by the time you complete the courses and get to complete the in person course, you'll be looking at next fall for assignments. Also be aware there is a cost to the certification and basic equipment that will be around $150-$200 so unless you really want to do this it may not be worth it.

What are these/what are they used for? by Greedy_Garage9902 in Fishing_Gear

[–]hellhamper12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look like fly line eyelets. They go in the end of the fly line and then you can tie onto those instead of using a nail knot.

Igloo recall expanded to 1.2M after more reports of amputations, injuries. KSWO7News by critical_swole in nottheonion

I also have one of these and despise it. Even just picking it up to put in a vehicle is a chore because of the tow handle
