Killer.  I'm trying to get a Deckhand job, myself, in the Towing Side, to pursue a Towing Endorsement.  I'm from the Gulf Oilfield but am on the MS River at the moment.

I bought a cochahoe minnow style mold off of ebay to play around with. when I get to where I kinda have a clue I want to reproduce the old Bingo lure and Gilespi shrimp in both hard plastic and soft. Also saw a cool shrimptail mold on ebay I am buying to practice with.
