I bought this for a difficult job. Some old hard offroad tires. Eventually it did “help” with it, but it certainly wasn’t a magic answer. The feet on it do not line up. This makes it impossible to push in between the rim and the bead. I pulled the two fixed feet off and milled…
Clear Coat / Finish for Hard Baits If started a semi serious range of experiments for that final clear coat for hard baits. That first line of defense against rocks, teeth, and branches. There is an open discussion starting on the topic over on Tackle Maker if you would like to follow along or contribute….
I bought a holster today. I got a good deal on the holster. The only thing wrong with it is it came with a free revolver. Yeah, it’s as bad as it looks.

… and that’s why I haven’t posted any fishing related material in a little while. Holidays, a bug before Christmas, lots of work to do, etc etc… Probably the biggest thing I’ve accomplished in the last few days was brute forcing some old hard as a rock dry rotted tires off the rims on my…
The first part of last week and that weekend I had a pretty nasty bug. I was only good for a half day of work at best. By Monday I started letting customers know anything that hadn’t already shipped just wasn’t going to get shipped until after Christmas. Maybe after New Years, but by Tuesday…
It can be quite daunting to buy a used boat, and out of the price range of many to buy a new boat. You can spend a lifetime saving up to pay cash for a hundred-thousand-dollar glitter rocket, indenture your grandchildren when you take out a loan that’s as much of a long-term commitment as…
This is probably the number one size and style if you just have to feel a pull on your string. 1.5″ (1-1/2 inches) as molded, swims to over 2 inches traveling through the water. One mold will produce 22 baits in one shot. If you sell baits at 10 to the bag that’s two bags at…
From: Arizona Outdoors Desert Southwest – Arizona Game & Fish Department The construction of the Fisher’s Landing boat ramp extension is finally here! 🎉 Construction is scheduled to begin on Jan. 5, 2026 and will be completed by the end of the month. Both the north and south ramps at Fisher’s Landing will be closed…
I used to take a lot of people out fishing. I don’t recall the guy’s name, but we headed up river one Wednesday afternoon for some fun fishing. I put him on a few fish including a controversial “4” pound smallie. He’s a big guy and everybody who saw the picture said it was smaller….
For those who don’t know “sans,” means without. I’ve been working on all kinds of things, and I spent a week in Maui last month before Thanksgiving. Didn’t do any fishing, but I did visit a couple tackle shops and give away some CNC Molds N Stuff Company swag. Hats, stickers, etc. While I was…

“Ran When Parked” Yeah, we have all heard that before. I bought it on a boat from a friend. It had been sitting about five years unused. I did shoot some starting fluid in the intake and it fired right up, but the carbs definitely need to be cleaned. I only ran it for a couple…
Made it out yesterday for a few hours before dark. Maybe 2:30 int he afternoon to about 6:00 or so. The section of river we fished isn’t one a lot of you guys fish, but this may help. At the ramp we chatted with one guy coming in. He said he had been out all…

(10/3/2025) I am not as attached to this thing as some people seem to think I should be. Even though I have a sorta/kinda story about it. We owned a country grocery and general store, and we worked year around. Only days we closed the store were Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. New Years…
As some of you may be aware I quit listing anything on eBay for a while. I primarily sell fishing tackle molds at retail price to end users. eBay was playing all kinds of games trying to force me to accept offers, force me to use their payment processing and get direct access to my…
I’ve been selling off “stuff” lately if you read my post Just Stuff – Busy These Days. One of the things I was selling was an older Ford Ranger Pickup. Had one interested party was going to come and bring cash, bur then they messaged me they wanted me to pay $40 for some vehicle…
I’ve been putting extra stuff up for sale on line. Bauer SDS MAX rotary hammer from my dad’s stuff sold for a fair price. Lots of people wanted it, “screw you cheap,” but a local handyman was happy to get it for the price I was asking. I have a heavier Milwaukee spline drive, and…
I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for H&R. I’ve wanted a full size Handi Rifle in 223 for a while. I know, it’s probably not going to be as accurate as the home built AR with the remington bull target barrel, but I wanted one and I admit the soft spot may be…
Well, after almost two weeks the princess is back. It was a warranty repair of course, but I had a few truck things to do the last couple weeks with no truck. Not the least of which was going fishing. Fortunately, a buddy had pity on me and invited me out Saturday (see more). The…
I really should have worked, but with my truck in the shop when a buddy texted to go fishing I said, “YES!!!!!!!” He picked me up late in the afternoon and we headed out. I played with the 3 inch Club-O on the Kahle Bead Jig for a while and managed to stick one dink,…
I made this mold (not these exact ones) a long time ago, but I never really used the jigs, but I think I might have an application. Wacky rigging really light baits, low salt baits, or salt free versions. I make the mold in three sizes. 1/16oz, 1/18 oz, and 1/4 oz if I recall. …
3 Inch & 4 Inch Club-Os Multiple Molds Making Baits #cncmoldsnstuff
As some of you might know I don’t take one of my boats out that often anymore. I just have to much work to do, taking care of customers, family, and yes, still my dad’s estate. Often I satisfy that itch by tossing a couple rods in the back of the truck, grabbing a tackle…
https://rumble.com/v6yjw5i-when-you-just-have-a-few-minutes-to-fish.html?mref=1sqt4y&mc=42lue When You Just Have A Few Minutes To Fish Just stopping off at a road side ditch to do a little fishing and trying to record a video with a cell phone. LOL. Using the infamous 4 inch Club-O. If you wish you had that bait buy the mold and make as many as…
After the recent storms I decided to run out to check on the buildings on some of our properties out in the east part of the county. Along the way I drove through several areas scouting for dove for the upcoming season opener. Mid day and early afternoon I saw NONE. Zero. Zip. Nada. Most…
I’ve always struggled as a welder, but eventually I get it most times. One thing I do when it has to work the first time is cut some stock piece the same size and make a few practices welds before welding the work piece. I did this a lot learning to MIG weld aluminum. It…
I managed to get out a few days ago on a weekday afternoon and I missed every strike I got but one. It was on a Kicker Buzz Frog. Greg G who was gracious enough to invite me out did okay. I think he caught at least half a dozen including a couple around three…
I need to remind myself of Rule #1 from time to time. Go when you can. I’ve been busy setting up a stock prep area behind the shop to make more room for machines inside the shop, but I’ve still managed to get out twice int he last couple weeks. Hydraulic trim fell half way…
There will be plenty of people come along hoping for that big sponsor money trying to tell you how wonderful it is and everything it will do. They are welcome to see how much sell out money they can get, but I’m not into that. I paid full price for my X5 from Amazon. No…
I thought I’d written up my opinion here before of where the Carolina Cant (Tennessee Tilt) came from on trucks. That stupid exaggerated low rear end on pickup trucks. The opposite of the way a truck should look when it is running empty. I think ti came directly from off road racing trucks. Baja runners…
Part 1 – Wheel Hop Okay, that’s a new one on me. I’ve had a couple 4x4s, and driven a couple more. Never really experienced it before. I found an old thread on one of the Ford Truck Forums that dated all the way back to 2007 saying they just do that. I put a…
When Arizona went from a calendar license to a year period license one of the AzGFD guys complained about the lost revenue because people wouldn’t all be buying their license at the end/first of the year every year. I figured more people would buy a license if they got the same amount of use out…
New Update 6/29/2025 It’s not looking good. I put up a hundred bucks as a deposit, but there keeps being one thing after another holding up the title. As I told the seller, he’s sure going to an awful lot of work to just hustle me out of a hundred bucks. Negative: He still shows…
This is a place to park my tractor out of the sun, and do maintenance on a hot summer day. Might also get some work done on Whisker Seeker under there since shop spaces is at a premium these days. Part #1 – Is really just an unboxing with a few clips deleted at the…
I needed some fishing therapy yesterday. I also took the opportunity to try out what I was hoping might be a solution for a rough service action camera. A police body camera from Vevor with a claimed record time of about 11 hours. Unless I can get some useful feedback from Vevor it was a…
I meant to post this in yesterday’s update. I bought Whisker Seeker from Gary during the Covid shutdown. He gave me a bill of sale on it, and I was able to transfer ownership of the boat, but the title was in his safe deposit box at the bank. When things started opening up again…
The epic enduring drama of Whisker Seeker will continue. I just don’t know when. I had rekindled my drive to get it seaworthy just before Gary passed away. In fact I called Gary and his daughter answered to see how he was doing and let him know I was working on getting him out in…
The Internet is absolutely what makes many small maker businesses possible. Without it, I’d probably never have gotten into mold making, and even if I had I’d be relegated to advertising in the classifieds in the back of trade and hobby magazines.I do trade worldwide because of the Internet. I have customers from Australia and…
Many years ago I worked for a rural telephone carrier. It was good and bad. Technically I learned a lot, but as a job it turned out to not be so great. I was told it was a job that would grow, but that never happened. I was told they would send me to training…
UPDATE 6/8/25: I see I do not have the little 1.5 mold currently listed on the CNC Molds N Stuff website. I’ll get that fixed soon. We hit the water around 5:30 or 6:00 and after launching The Cat in that little backwater we headed down the way a bit. Was mostly throwing Club-Os. I…
This Saturday, June 7 2025, is FREE FISHING DAY in Arizona! 😮 🐟 Just remember: while a fishing license is not needed on June 7, bag limits and other Arizona fishing regulations still apply and must be observed on Free Fishing Day. If you’ve ever been curious to try fishing, now’s a great time to…
CNC MOLDS N STUFF IS STOPPING EBAY SALES FOR NOW These items are directly responsible for why I offered fewer items for sale on eBay than I could. They cause excess time and effort for every listing. 1. The difficult process of NOT using eBay shipping. Don’t ask why I don’t want to use eBay…
One of my fishing buddies took me out this evening hoping for a prefrontal bite, but it was slow. The Square Back Minnow that has been producing so well for me didn’t do it tonight. I stuck all my fish on 4 inch Club-Os. No wait. I did stick one flipping an RT45. I cranked…
Recap First: Tip #0 – Don’t let other people measure you. Tip #1 – Go when you can. Bob’s Tips for Anglers #2 – Don’t Over Complicate Going Fishing This officially displaces whatever the previous tip #2 was. This has got to be more important than that. The former #2 was If Something Doesn’t Seem…
