Time to invest in a belt/disc combo Numbskull. Short money, and very handy.

I used to use the bandsaw/belt sander. There is a MUCH better way. Jigs and the table saw. Jigs make up VERY quickly and make cutting the slopes EXTREMELY easy and VERY consistant. All I use the BS for is easing the angle between slopes. |

I went out the the harbor which was the only open water and tested a NCG setup on a 1201L and swam my version of the Atom 54B. I was impress all around. The rod casted great with the concept set up , 30,20,12,8,8,8,8,8,10tip. The Atom 54B was the other homerun. Swam down just under <1', wiggle ever so nicely. used 2/0 treble on the belly w/pennant on tail. Very nice S wiggle. Thanks for all your help George. By the way I put 11gram tailweight thru the wire. I cut a 7 gram in half and put the half and a whole one into a 17/64" hole up to the swivel hole shy of going inside the hook hole 1/16". Filled the void w/ wooden spacer. Got to get some of the roll plastic Prof. M has.

I hope i don't stay up to late plan on taking my wife to dinner and then to see Avatar as she did not want anything to do with seeing it when she first saw the previews and now she wants me to take her.I am glad because now i get to go to a new imax they just opened and heard good things about it.Not busting your chops Larry but i will give you my honest opinion after i see it.I also need to take pics of my paint shaker for you guys which works great btw.I had paint just sitting here for over a year (createx) all the paint on the bottom and the clear separeted on top like oil and vinegar took 30 sec to get it mixed.See you in the morning.

Don't have an original, but I've spent so much time copying his stuff I feel pretty confident I know how he would have gone about it. We'll see. |

Nice!
Haven't done anything this weekend but entertain. So I'll try to pay attention and learn something this AM.

Good morning! Got your coffee? I thought this morning, with the passing of lure building legend Bob Pond, we could honor his legacy in lure building a bit and maybe post some pics of any vintage Bob Pond/Atom creations if any of us own some or even some copies and talk about Bob and share some stories if we have any along with the usual chatter this am?  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Good mornin'. I'm here, but should be drilling. Got church in an hour, not all that religious but whatever.
As for a topic for today....how about lips. These things drive me crazy. So many guys make "copies" that are not true to the original. Sure if you build your own thing using the lip as the base you can do OK, but if you want to copy something old you are out of luck.
There are good Lefty (actually Musso) lips available.
Salty's conrad lip is perfect.
The large Pikie lip is great.........but one with a mid slot hole would be greater yet for us guys who like surface swimmers.
Perfect surfster lips are available.
Nobody makes an accurate mid or small danny lip. The medium danny lips available are wider, longer, and with a slightly higher hole than the lips that are used on medium Pichney, Lupo, BM surface swimmer.....which are as perfect a bass lure as you can find.
There is no match for the large conrad, or the BM cowboy/ Bm version A40.
Yeah, yeah......I know if you are doing your own thing you can use what is out there and be happy. But a lot of us enjoy copying and fishing stuff that is no longer available. Yes, for any one or two, or six plugs you can cut your own lips....but if you want to make multiples you are out of luck.
So how do I go about making my own dies?

I remember meeting Bob Pond and his wife Avis at RISSA a few years ago when John Habs brought them to the show (which I thought was nice of John) and so many got to meet Bob and his wife and shake his hand and thank him for all he did! I know I did! They were both very pleasant people at the show. Unfortunately I do not own any of his fine work??  Maybe Capesams or Vineyard Blues will post some of their great collections at some point? I hope so!
Numby I use NJ's lefty lips on my small Danny's.....they work pretty great! |

here ya go Larry ... This is all i have .. The flatter nose 40's were trailer made along the bank of the CC Canal ,, I believe close to where BSP is now .. The more refined round nose 40 was made in Attleboro shop . I don't have (looking for) a trolling model wich is visaully straighter shaped on the tail ,,wich is tail weighted ,,. I stole the Jr. for 50 of epay .. It always puzzled me these early 4 yrs. of Atom wood went so cheap on epay ..9.99 - 19.99 .. unless it was mint in the box .. see what happens now ,, Pleez correct me if any of the above untrue ... all word of mouth .. God Bless Bob Pond ..

Here are some old A-40's from the late 50's w/ a couple of my repros and some early 70's A-jrs & the plastic version A54B(blk) with 2 copies of the jr & 54B. We can't forget the infamous Atom blue/white popper.I think everyone I know had one in their bag or boat growing up.
